Welcome to another final round vote. As usual all members have one vote each, please use it.
Congrats to all the finalists for making it this far. All the ideas are brilliant and will make wonderful additions to the Mithril family.
The vote will run until Sept 7th, after which the winner will be announced. September suggestion thread will start then.

Well I cast my vote for Anduril/Narsil - if Mithril won't re-forge it then no one will. An opportunity for a 'one-off' moment in Middle Earth's history.

Well, I am voting for Celebrimbor. He's on my Fellowship wishlist after all. I particularly love this image: It's heroic and desperate and doomed. I love the armour (though its plate - it DOES look like something Elven smiths might make for their lord), and the sense of movement. Gavin

Seeing as my Boromir idea did not make the cut I cast my vote for Elfhelm, Marshal of Rohan!

Reforging of Anduril. This is the best suggestion I have seen here in a long time.

I agree with ddaines and spickering. But I think it should be no anvil used in the miniature. We have had Celebrimbor, the orc serfs and the dwarvish craftsmen with an anvil in the scene. This should be something different. It was mentioned before. Perhaps the smith could be shown as he looks along the blade against the light to recognize faults and shards.

Who re-forged Narsil into Anduril? Was it an Elf? What would the person who suggested this piece say they'd like for the pose?

There is a sketch in the gallery page twrich – the idea was for an Elven smith to be looking down the blade possibly with an oiled(?) cloth either polishing the blade and/or looking to ensure the blade is nice and straight. As mentioned by bombadil, there was no anvil suggested as the round was for single figures only and I thought it best not to ‘push’ my luck .

Allright, folks
I have voted for Anduril's reforging, although Celebrimbor is a great one too. - but there was Thranduil in battle-gear winning some time ago, so please someting different now...
and by the way, Congratulations to David Daines (ddaines) for his superb suggestions and drawing skills to push them:
If the reforging of Anduril should win, and I think it has more than a good chance it will, ddaines has managed to win 3 MONTHS IN A ROW! - Aragorn meeting Eomer in battle, Troll-drummer and now Anduril going to win...
Maybe we should rename the Gold status fellowship Club in DDAINES FELLOWSHIP CLUB !? LOL
Cheers, Hwolf

Harald, Not the 'kiss of death' I hope ! But thank you for your comments about the suggestions and the sketches, I always feel that a sketch helps sell an idea as people get a feel for what the suggestion might look like. I don't somehow think a name change for the GF would go down too well (lol), I guess I have just had a run of luck lately in that members have taken a shine to the ideas. It does raise the point however that given the number of members in the GF there must be a lot of good ideas out there that are not being put forward for one reason or another, and there are definitely a lot of previous suggestions that should be re-submitted. Anyhow, there's still a couple of days to go so we shall see how the vote finishes, I'll keep my fingers crossed in the meantime.

well congrats again David as for myself I am lacking ideas for single figurines lately so I "pass my turns" on those months, trying to submit only on the vignettes months... I have lots of vignettes ideas that I try to resubmit at times, but well, not a lot of success since my Sauron suggestion :/
