Hi, I just saw this thread and have to say that the sword of the M16 is not like any others. In the mould it was directly attached to the base of the figure and so is the original casting. So it's "part of the figure". As I still have an original casting from Chris Tubb this can clearly be seen.

Huoommm ... that's exactly what I hoped for ... thank you, Master Hsf62 ... yes, I was thinking of that Lady with the standard - not mentioning some half-orcs. Rhuoommmm ... oh, I can imagine Axel's ideas and learnt about them ... huooommm ... but the Falconer is something different ... I once saw a picture of a painted version .... great! Huoommmmm ... alas I just realized that she is not in my collection ..... rhuooommm ... of course we can trade ... huomm ... but not at this place As for the wargskins there's a problem I recently identified ... there's a spell on them ... huoommm ... the rumour (or fact) within them can only be reveiled at a certain place ... could be a pony or anything else prancing ... huoommm ... I will find out about that in time .... huoomm

Huommm ... sorry I nearly forgot .... What about those rotten wargskins, Master Barliman? I still keep them alive, so to say. At the moment they're rapped around a new rumour ...

Huoommmmmm ... so everything seems to develop speedily ... rhuoommm ... I could take new pictures of all those "uniques",Gildor. Ahem, I mean "all"... adding one or two pics of so-called conversions, as there is the Lady bearing a standard for example. Huoommm ... Thank you, Master Gildor ... and of course another Karma-thing for that .....

Sounds great ... indeed I did not visit your page only today ... I like those inserted windows about the figures to pop up once you 'click' them ... all in all the disign is very good as also are the categories and the way of browsing your page ... but I think I told you that about a year ago Thank you very much for opening the "Pony" first ... as there are so many people queuing up outside and awaiting doors to be opened Well, I know that your collection is complete, Gildor. You might email me privately of which help I could be for the database filling. We don't have to waste the space on this site here, because those might be matters other people are not interested in ..... Alas, well, yes .... your second thought was right. But I don't want to talk about it here ... I rather prefer a more familiar place like the "Prancing Pony" once has been. There we might consider facts and rumours ..... huooomm.

That's a great offer, Gildor I don't know what to say to express my relief ........... huoomm. But this I will promise: In case you (with a little help from your friends) manage to host a new MMP - including the 'Prancing Pony', of course - I will give you number 2 of the new MX for free come on, let's go for it! I also can promise to contribute photos of all (sic !) regular Mithril releases plus those of some extras (uniques). [Except the Eowyn Christmas figure] They're all here awaiting to fill the reference databases huooommmmmrhuoooommmmmmmmmm Gildor, I'll contact you soon about this matter ......

I also just received an email from Ken ... So I'm afraid we have to accept that MMP is finished As you all might guess I would do anything to restart it - or something similar. But I have to admit that I'm not at all able to cope with a thing like that ... lacking skills ... I'm desperate ...

Post by Theobald on Jan 12, 2008 11:28:25 GMT
Yes, good idea, but ... I sent away many of those carrier pigeons last week ... none has returned . So I will try to contact Ken today ... maybe he knows about this very serious matter ... I'm still busy with this, trying to do what I can ...

about MMP .... sad news I found three email-addresses of Marc and tried to contact him ... all failed ........ what to do now? Wendy, do you think Ken knows about this? - I haven't been in contact with him for about two years .... ? .... alas ....

Hey Wendy, I think I also have got an old email-address of Marc. In case you're not successful with your first email you can contact me any time about this matter. Oh, by the way what about Kennako? I also have his email-address but I don't know if that is of any help.

I just was informed that Wendy will try to contact Mithrandir about this matter. Let's hope the best.

Hello everybody, and a happy New Year. Can anybody tell me what happened to the MMP website? There seems to be no more connection possible. So I wonder what happened. Thank you. Theobald

Thank you very much for that valuable information, Michael. I think David's ideas about adding some of these to Mithril miniatures by just changing smaller parts and of them seems to be very interesting ... for gamers or diorama builders, of course.

Post by Theobald on Nov 2, 2007 16:57:38 GMT
I am also interested in those Romans and Celts ... so can anybody answer David's question if the scale fits to our Mithril miniatures? Does it vary much?

Ddaines, I completely agree about the quality of the figures; they're great. - Though I think they're more in fighting poses than in poses people working aboard a ship. Maybe you should consider having some 30 sets of M130 (laketown boat) to have enough oarsmen to man the ship

Hi Gildor, I faced the same problem with that figure years ago. I fixed and painted that Smaug a very long time ago. I think because of the sunshine he had to suffer for some years he started bending as you described. - ddaines is right saying that the important points are those three of the tail where it first touches the ground, then the two (!) parts where it meets those "stalagmites". The tip of the tail is very important to fix the figure!!! Refixing the figure I used a very strong (colourless) very liquid glue and tried to keep the dragon in position. After some days I tested the balance over and over again; bending the tail with both hands to find that balance. Kind of trial and error. Each time I used that glue again. Unfortunately this caused some trouble because the paint broke off in some small parts. This was quite easily repainted, of course. As I keep some of my Mithrils in a glass cabinet I chose a position for that Smaug in which it touches with the tip of its right wing the glass - you don't see at all that the figure touches the glass. This way Smaug still is standing in that positon (not any more afflicted by direct sunlight and heat) without causing any more trouble for years now. Of course it is necessary to be absolutely careful in fixing all major parts of the body. It is very useful to have some spare of that "metal glue" Mithril included in the M62 Smaug box to fill in between those parts that are not exactly fitting. (By the way I don't know why they don't offer that as a help for us collectors to be bought at the Mithril shop ... I once asked for this ... but no reply) Well, that's all I know about this problem. By the way you will also have similar problems in case you cut off certain parts connecting the base and legs of some horses ... Anyway, good luck with your second attempt, Gildor

hwolf is right about the dagger. It is thought to be fixed to the right hand with the point in front of the figure - a pose for stabbing. The dagger's slight curve should be pointing downwards. At least that't the position in which I saw the miniature somewhere and somewhen, but I cannot remember where that was. Anyway that's the position I chose for the dagger.

As I am trying to paint my M10 at the moment I can confirm that she's holding a slightly curved dagger in her right hand. As this is a tiny single item which is not part of the figure's casting I guess that it might get lost easily. The shape of the figure's right hand suggests that there's something to be added.

I think a good help was the offer of several shields and weapons in the Fellowship range. Of course these can't replace any "missing link". So it might be helpful to have something similar as the so-called "green stuff" by GWS or a shop-offer of the "metal glue" that was in the M62 Smaug box. This could help to rebuild and replace missing limbs for example.

Hi Michael, Thanks again ... it works. So, as I wrote before, this thread doesn't seem to interest others. You might delete this thread now. But I have to state, that for me it was a help. Thank you

Hi Micheal, I rely upon that this auto-shipment works with the Gold-Membership-Releases. - But if there are any difficulties or problems with it, please just let me know. I'm writing because I'm so keen on the 'Halbarad'. As this thread turned out to be a personal problem to me you might delete this thread. Thank you

Hello Michael, I would just like to know if there is anything like an auto-shipment of new released miniatures of the new Fellowship Gold releases. As far as I know something like this existed some years ago with the start of the LR and LO series. Thanks
