Haha well I’ll take the compliment

As for RoP, I wasn’t ‘wowed’ by it. I’ll continue to watch and hope it improves but it’s certainly not on the level of the movies, in my opinion of course. And there is perhaps where the mix up was as I haven’t really made my views on the show clear, but I got a bad reception for mentioning the show in the Elendil thread, but that by now has been put to bed, and I have likewise enjoyed reading your posts, whether they be insightful, informative, funny, despairing or sarcastic

I hear, you my friend. It hasn't just been put to bed; it's been put out with the cat for the night.

My Saurons cape did not fit at all and I had to file out the back to make it work. I contacted Weta and I am really happy with their service. It took some months but once they answered they immediately offered a 10% refund, which I gladly took. A refund to my credit card by the way, not in WDs.

Interesting, i handled it through a local retailer, but my request for some form of % refund was denied by Weta as retailer said. Only full money back or a new statue. So now still waiting for new one Sauron, close to two months...

Stunning pictures, Bill. What lighting are you using to bring out the armour highlights?

[Celaglar]

Amazing pictures! Makes me even more excited to display mine

[Plat]

These are very beautiful pictures, here you can see the colour nuances very clearly, well done Bill

Stunning pictures, Bill. What lighting are you using to bring out the armour highlights?

Thanks Valkrist. In this case I used a combination of two main lights a back light and a flashlight...oh! and a pushbike rear light (for the lava glow).

Amazing pictures! Makes me even more excited to display mine

Thanks Celaglar. He is so impressive, it would be a shame to keep him in his box. You are going to love him even more when you get him on display.

Thanks Plat. It took a while but I think I got there in the end.

Traveller !!!! Thank you my friend !

It ended up totaling $1,280. Can anyone tell me “around” what the statue totals with tax and shipping when buying direct from Weta?

Tku.

Has anyone found a display case for this guy that they liked? I’d be curious to know what y’all went with? Mine is currently boxed up and wants to breath haha
