Patrick Lassus made this diorama for an edition of the Mithril Maniac Trophy, almost twenty years ago.

This is so beautiful. I am in awe.

It’s the Ent’s birthday month?

Happy birthday, oh wisest!

[Gavin]

That works very well

Speaking of Traveling Elrond, I was thinking of making an instagram page for him, (because he’s cool and an influencer)

I can share the username and password around so we can keep the story going.

Open a retroactive instagram profile after 10 years of traveling looks challenging …

Oh we can just ad photos and put the #tbt label on them.

Like a proper influencer

I still haven’t painted my DA knights. Well, I painted some of them. But eventually.

I would recommend them without primer. Vallejo grey or Citadel Grey Seer does the job perfectly well.

[Gavin]

hi all

I am still about. Ish. mostly.

[Gavin]

Great work!

And yes, Gerold is quite correct on all points.

[Gavin]

hiya

I guess I am trying to get my hands on [mith]M71[/mith] and [mith]M72[/mith] and probably another [mith]M70[/mith] at some point, then some more variants of Orcs.

For me, these miniatures are ultimately to be played with, so I need need a lot of rare miniatures, especially for Orcs – just acceptable looking orcs!

[Gavin]

I have mithrils, I have citadel paints.

They just aren’t in the same place

Has anyone had any luck using them on mithrils? I feel the grey primer might be too dark, however.

Jacques ‘s work

What a gorgeous piece of work!!!

[Gavin]

I had two minor ish miniature related disasters in the last decade or so.

Sometime in 2012, someone stole two full GW double cases, and a full single case of miniatures from where they were being stored.
Sometime later I had poorly stored some figures in some plastic boxes on a shelf beside another box of paints and miniatures tools. I asked if someone could bring the box of tools and paints to me in Montreal. They brought the minis along. The minis did not appreciate the experience.

I had, in an effort at being cool, put a lot of minis on metal fender washers – great for stability and they are low profile, so figures are standing on terrain, not obviously above it. (That’s fine for D+D, but not LOTR). Washers are great, unless someone, say dumps a bunch of cavalry figures into a car in a plastic box, or maybe in a not-great minis storage case and…bad things happen.

This morning, it was time to seriously take stock, get an idea of what is needful, what is missing, what absolutely has to be replaced and what is gone forever.

So, I need to get my hands on some of the M70-era Silvan Elves (the tracker and the swordsman, in particular), probably get my hands on more Orcs (I didn’t do a full count, but there’s a lot less now!) to ensure a broader variety of Mordor, Mirkwood and Misty Mountains Orcs and probably a few random personalities.

And then months and months of putting everything on nice, plastic, less destructive Renedra bases.
And then months more of repainting all the dinged figures.

Bloody hell. But until then…eh, I’ve a bunch of Dungeons and Dragons things to paint.

[Gavin]

Why thank you!

I am off to get expectorant.

Trust me to get a COVID-like cold that is probably not COVID and now I dare not show my face in public without coughing. I did, however, sign up with the government to do contact tracing work, which involves me and a phone

How’s all?

[Gavin]

I am told that the hardcore 3d printer hobbyists have a smart phone app that lets you scan things.

And while I don’t love 3d printed miniatures, or resin cast miniatures, I do wish I could have cheaper copies of the old Fantasy series in plastic I could abuse without some vague sense of guilt about damaging collector’s items

Has anyone tried this? Scanned and 3d printed expendable copies of old miniatures?

[Gavin]

morning all

cough cough splutter cough.

[Gavin]

*wanders by with his cup of tea*

(I spent the morning casting dwarves and barbarian figures for a friend’s boardgame modification. I may be high on metal fumes!)

[Gavin]

Well, ’tis me birthday.

And I’ve just spent ten days demolishing a house (for money, for the purchase of food, services, rent and future mithril releases). And bloody hell, I am sorer than an Ent in Autumn.

Drinks all ’round?

[Gavin]

Fancy!
