WIP "In the House of Tom Bombadil" (MITHRIL MV375)

Just a quick post for a small review of 2 W.I.P

1- "In the House of Tom Bombadil" (vignette  MV375 from MITHRIL-Prince August)
(I'm not sure that it's necessary to say something about the faces: not sculpt with a lot of details=not easy to do!)

Tom Bomdabil is completely missed in the movies, even if:
(source: WIKIPEDIA) ,

"In The Lord of the Rings, Tom Bombadil is a mysterious character who aids Frodo and his companions on their journey. He and his wife Goldberry, the "Daughter of the River," still live in their house on the Withywindle, and some of the characters and situations from the original poem appear in The Lord of the Rings. In the book, he is described as "Master of wood, water and hill", and nearly always speaks or sings in stress-timed metre: 7-beat lines broken into groups of 4 and 3. He appears in three chapters, "The Old Forest", "In the House of Tom Bombadil", and "Fog on the Barrow-downs". He is mentioned in the chapter "The Council of Elrond" as a possible keeper and protector of the One Ring. He is mentioned at the end of the story in "Homeward Bound" and "The Grey Havens". Behind Bombadil's simple façade are hints of great knowledge and power, though limited to his own domain......" 

Even if I regret that P.Jackson "forgot him in the LOTR movies, I must admit that he's not very important in the narrative .... (but he's not a fighter and is too much poetic, maybe!)

 Frodo and Sam are introduced in the house!

Tom Bomdabil est complètement absent dans les films:
(Source: Wikipedia.uk traduit)
«Dans le Seigneur des Anneaux, Tom Bombadil est un personnage mystérieux qui aide Frodon et ses compagnons dans leur voyage. Lui et son épouse Baie d'Or,« la fille de la rivière », continuent de vivre dans leur maison sur le Tournesaules, et certains d'entre les personnages et les situations du poème d'origine apparaissent dans Le Seigneur des Anneaux dans le livre, il est décrit comme «Maître de bois, de l'eau et de la colline", et presque toujours parle ou chante dans le stress-timed mètre:. 7-battement lignes divisée en groupes de 4 et 3. Il apparaît dans trois chapitres, "la Vieille Forêt", "dans la maison de Tom Bombadil» et «Brouillard sur les Hauts des Galgals". Il est mentionné dans le chapitre "le Conseil d'Elrond "comme un gardien possible et protecteur de l'Anneau Unique. Il est mentionné à la fin de l'histoire dans" Homeward Bound "et" les Havres Gris ". Derrière la façade simple, Bombadil sont des notes de grand savoir et le pouvoir, bien que limitée à son propre domaine ...... "

Même si je regrette que P.Jackson l'ai "oublié" dans le Seigneur des Anneaux, je dois avouer qu'il n'est pas très important dans le récit .... (mais il n'est pas un combattant et il est trop poétique, peut-être!)

His work is absolutely splendid!
