British Ringers should keep their eyes open for something new in the stands, as Ringer Spy Irascian pointed out: “Lord of the Rings Collectors Models”, a new fortnightly magazine, has launched in the UK this week and the first issue has a special launch price of £2.99 (normal price £5.99). [More]
British Ringers should keep their eyes open for something new in the stands, as Ringer Spy Irascian pointed out:
“Lord of the Rings Collectors Models”, a new fortnightly magazine, has launched in the UK this week and the first issue has a special launch price of £2.99 (normal price £5.99).
Each issue of the magazine features a 1/29th scale model of a character featured in New Line’s movie, and is cast in lead. Each figure comes with an accompanying 12-page guide. The first issue features Gandalf the White and the guide includes notes from Weta’s Richard Taylor on the creation of Glamdring.
The first issue not only retails for a special low price but also includes an extra guide giving an overview of the series and a map of Middle-Earth – at £2.99 it’s a steal.
The magazine is available in most good British newsagents or can be subscribed to online at http://www.lotr-models.co.uk/introduction.html

“The 2003 Year-End Zeitgeist offers a unique perspective on the year’s major events and hottest trends based on more than 55 billion searches conducted over the past year by Google users from around the world.” Apparently “Lord of the Rings” was a very popular subject, coming in at number eight!
