Collecting The Precious – Interview with Sculptor Tim Miller
February 20th, 2012 by elessar | No Comments »
Time for another artist interview! This is one of my favorite sculptors creating items that I personally collect. The sculptor is none other than the massively talented Tim Miller of T.K. Miller Sculpting. This talent is one who folks most likely have an item or two within their The Lord of the Rings collections and for sure if they collect items from the MARVEL Universe. I wanted to take the time for you all to get to know a little more about this great talent, especially since he truly knows how to bring Middle-Earth to life.
As I said, you probably have items from sculpted by Mr. Miller within your collection of The Lord of the Rings. Tim has been responsible for bringing to life characters such as Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, and my personal favorite, dwarf Gimli, son of Gloin. These items range from Sideshow Collectibles 1:6th action figure line to the new statue line. The latest item from Mr. Miller is the Gimli, son of Gloin statue which we just reviewed recently and is a great example of Mr. Miller’s skill.

The Middle Earth Beer Festival 2012
February 15th, 2012 by deej | No Comments »
The 4th annual Middle Earth Beer Festival, located in Hurst Green, Lancashire UK looks to be a Hobbit’s dream, with an extensive range of beers and ciders (including Completely Legolas, a traditional English ale, and Ent Draught, a ruby red bitter), local food, and live music.
Professor Tolkien was a frequent visitor to Hurst Green, and the surrounding countryside is thought to be the inspiration for many locations in ‘The Lord of the Rings’, most notably the Shire.
The Middle Earth Beer Festival 2012 runs April 12th – 15th, at Hurst Green Memorial Hall. More information and tickets can be found on the festival website: MiddleearthBeerFestival.co.uk

TORn Message Board Member DanielLB has discovered a blogger (DarkJackal) who has a very high resolution of Bilbo reading his contract from the Dwarves.
