What a wonderful description, and one which I'll be keeping in my mind's eye when I venture into my loft to pull out the odd box of miniatures in the future :-) I'm actually a huge fan of "Warriors Of The Deep" and despite the failings of the Myrka costume, absolutely love its look tbh, so expect it to be finished soon.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-19338551033756023962019-03-07T13:23:31.650-08:002019-03-07T13:23:31.650-08:00Greg's comment above, combined with your recen...Greg's comment above, combined with your recent focus on your LOTR inspired 'Toon' figures has made me re-imagine your 'lead mountain' as being like the Lonely Mountain in The Hobbit, with vast halls filled with figures, which you venture in to to retrieve long-forgotten treasures. A nice start on this batch of Black Tree Figures. I think I remember seeing a conversion of the Myrka figure somewhere where they sculpted the fish-tail that the actual beastie had in the series...
