2025, lads! we’re still around. 😀

[cameosis]

it has become very quiet here, indeed. i hope you’re doing well, all the best!

[cameosis]

unfortunately, i only see this message today … there is no end without a new beginning, i’d like to think that everything is in flow and blends together again and again.

 

 

on my 50th birthday, i’d like to throw a virtual round for everyone and toast to those who have already left, who are present and those who are yet to arrive. enjoy your day, friends 🍻

[cameosis]

quite the mint price …

good day to everyone passing through.

[cameosis]

wow, i had suspected something of the kind but it’s very sad to read it regardless. gildor, please pass my greetings and good wishes to him when you get the chance.

to everybody else, i hope you are doing well – it’s not over until it’s over, i speak from experience.

i don’t know if a comprehensive list of the rawcliffe editions has been posted yet, you can find the pictures mid-way down the page when you scroll down:

i hope you have all had a good end of 2020 and a good beginning into 2021, given the circumstances, lads.

a round on me and i’ll see you a-round.

i’m sure he won’t mind if we ask nob to bring over a few pints and a bowl of stew …
(k)nob, thank you! have a drink with us, it’s freaking hot even at night — 30 °c.

[cameosis]

i look forward to seeing the angmar heroes!

[cameosis]

anytime, my friend. it was long overdue to take them out of their boxes. i’ll look for a nice display cabinet after i have trimmed down my collection and will photograph the rest of the minis as well.

[cameosis]

it’s not strictly mithril (although mithril minis are on the pictures as well), but i had to let out my unsung heroes of fantasy and middle-earth and line them up for a set family shots in order to show how some of them have grown over the years.

saruman the black serves as a reference point for their height (the ruler on the right assists him in that task).

i have a lot of trolls that are still in their original blisters and boxes, therefore they’re not photographed.

[cameosis]

modest starts, the follower amount is around 100 – 200 users

[cameosis]

wonderful, great customization!

[cameosis]

dettol seems to be even better. there are a number of youtube videos detailing which product is best to help remove old paintjobs and primers almost completely with no or hardly any damage to the miniatures.

[cameosis]

luck favors the brave.
i second our caster’s request, pictures of the figures from different angles would be appreciated for the database.

Is it my memory, or has the price of these guys dropped a little since we last saw one up on eBay?

while 1 euro starting auctions are risky, they tend to render higher final bids than auctions with a high starting price, such as this one. besides, the shield isn’t original, either.

currently, the ebay “market” has been saturated with mithril figurines, albeit most of them are buy it now (with moon prices). one of the reasons why i haven’t put my collection up for so sale so far.

[cameosis]

very true! ????

[cameosis]

a round on me, i shall pay from my infamou troll purse.
