I'm such a luckky B******!

Curt · 01-10-2004, 12:26 PM

I really am. I can't keep it in any longer. I have to share it with everybody.

Megs only went and bought me the "Ringwraith & Steed" as a Christmas present.

I'll worship it! In fact, I already have. It's my own personal altar as you can see:

WOOT! WOOT!

OK, I'm embarrasing myself now. :eek:

:eek: Wow, Curt, that looks fantastic! The candles and everything set it off beautifully. You're sooooo spoiled!

Erkki · 01-10-2004, 12:45 PM

That looks great!

But my map of Middle-Earth is bigger than yours!

You're soooooo right!

But don't worry, I don't take anything for granted.

Hehe! How do you know? That Ringwraith is bigger than you'd think. I was amazed at the size of it.

Btw, the sculpter of this even saw fit to make the horse a male. How do I know? Er, my hand accidently "found" it. Let's just say it's hung like a horse.

Now THAT'S attention to detail.

Errrr... did I mention that for the last two Christmases Theresa has paid for the glazing and framing of my LOTR posters? Not meant to be a competition of who has the better girlfriend! Just... we are both lucky, Curt. She's happily spent a good $250 on my LOTR fetish and they are the centerpiece of our living room.

I was judging by the candles. But the candles could also be bigger than I think of course

Megs informs me that the map is 60x80cm if that helps.

They look great, Jim.

We only have this one:

Oh, and these two :

We're TWO lucky guys I guess.

BacardiJim · 01-10-2004, 01:28 PM

Absolutely, bro! (Check the "What Did You Get For Xmas" thread.)

Hehe. Now you made me measure it. About 88x64. But if it's any comfort, mine is not framed and is just a photocopy. And umm... somewhy it's in German.

That is a sweet statue! It reminds me of my sculpture of Frazetta's Death Dealer. If I had the money, I would buy that thing. You can never have too many evil looking sculptures around...

Moosferatu · 01-10-2004, 02:21 PM

Though it is not nearly as impressive as your sculpture, Curt, I got these bookends for Christmas. They are very cool and I'm using them to prop up my growing collection of computer books.

James · 01-10-2004, 03:35 PM

eh gods and little fishes, I thought I was bad. Ive got the gollum statutette, the argonath, some candles - the two extended dvds - the theatrical posters, and the felt poster map of middle earth on the wall around my desk where i am currently typing, oh and the alan lee hardback editions of the hobbit and lotr. deadly buzz!

Starflux · 01-11-2004, 02:59 AM

Wow Curt, that's a hefty shrine you got there. Of course, I out-paraphernalia you all!

Yep! You definitely got a rare one there, Flux. I believe there were only 3 made.

We still need to add to this little lot:

Any suggestions to fill the wall space between the two consoles?

James · 01-11-2004, 05:45 AM

Curt, the 3 books to the right of that photo - am I correct in saying they are the "bible" editions of lotr and silmarillion, plus some unknown entity?

The LOTR is the "bible" edition. The Simarillion and The Hobbit aren't, unfortunately - Just the same cover and box design.

Megs has loads more in her Tolkien book collection (not on display in the photo), including a couple of first editions - she's the real collector. I'm happy with my Ringwraith and Steed (and a few other little ones).

James · 01-11-2004, 08:39 AM

I didn't know they did the Hobbit in that edition - damn, i'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I don't know if there is. Megs isn't sure either.
