Positive hobby vibes: I am going through a large freezer bag full of loose Mithril miniatures – not all of which may be complete – have just finished several Orcs, a Black Troll of Mordor, master Elrond holding a book, a mannish captain of Orthanc (= Dunlending), Tom Bombadil (unknown to Peter Jackson acolytes), a bandit girl (must be a MERP character) and the singing girl who is supposed to be accompanied by a lute player. I painted her using Candice Night from the Renaissance Rock band Blackmore’s Night as inspiration, but wasn’t sure if I had the lute player.

More digging through aforementioned freezer bag revealed that I do and he will, of course, be painted as Richie Blackmore. Even has an appropriate hair style. Next up: Thranduil enthroned, Glorfindel (also unknown to Peter Jackson fans) on a horse, a Cave Troll, Theoden King mounted, sword raised to lead the charge – Kings used to do that, you know…- and Legolas & Gimli minus Gimli. I may have already painted Gimli, but he’s buried in a plastic case containing my Dwarf army, which hasn’t seen the light of day since the local MESBG group fell apart.
