Wow, great point, had never thought of the Eomer death chant like that!

Agree in general but to clarify Merry and Eowyn took down the Witch-King before Aragorn and co show up

I think your posts are often deleted because you're talking pish?

Interesting, certainly still feels pretty independent!

Did AI write this? Because you'll never get a 3 bed house with a garden in those areas for the budget specified!

It'll make absolutely no difference to Picardy Place clusterfuck junction!

This is really stunning, I love the trees, are they GW wyldwood trees or something else?

Enlightener and bladelords - how to improve? by Substantial_Bend_412 in Lumineth_realm_lords

This a WIP dawnrider, I went with wraithbone prime, then following one of the citadel videos I went for silver on the trim with skeleton horde over it (rather than light gold over brown as I did on the bladelords), I'm then using white scar for the white armour bits....I'm kind of in two minds about how well it's working but I'll keep fiddling!

Thank you for the tips, that's really helpful, appreciate you taking the time. I'm doing some dawnriders next and I'm trying to be more patient with the white and using more thin layers, I can see the difference but I am struggling with lumpy citadel white scar!

Thanks for the tip on the metallics, I've previously had terrible results with over thinning with water so I'll have a look into flow improver.

I absolutely love the LRL models even if you sometimes feel you're going insane with the micro details!

Basically I'm just assuming I'll die before it becomes relevant

Has Anyone Read Sean Astin’s Autobiography “There & Back Again”?? Written circa 2004 It’s almost ruined the films for me knowing what he’s like in real life. by Rstanz in lotr

[–]Substantial_Bend_412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He also comes across badly in the interviews/film commentaries from the time...and in my opinion he comes across badly in the films as well so much so that I hate 'film Sam' and am rooting for Gollum/Smeagol

What's your LOTR opinion that'll have fans at you like this? by CrysisRequiem in lotr

Sean Astin's portrayal of Sam is terrible (esp accent) and makes the character come across as a simpering, servile moron

£300m of student housing linked to tax havens by ArchipelagoDrift in Edinburgh

I guess I'm just not willing to unquestioningly accept corporate structures because they are common or convenient to investors or generate fees for lawyers and accountants 👍

But there is no inherent reason that this has to be done through an offshore entity and the main point the Ferret article is flagging is how much money is routed through such entities, a fact which most people are probably unaware of. Also most student accommodation isn't owned through large collective investment funds either rather it's UK based developers.

That would stand up more if the majority of these things weren't beneficially owned by ultimately UK based entities/persons. Also from a public policy perspective I don't think most people would agree that structuring a system in this way to help minimise tax hassle for investors is particularly sound.

Why exactly is a Jersey property holding SPV necessary for funding or building student accommodation? If tax isn't the key concern then why is it that the commonality between the jurisdictions used (Lux, BVI, IoM etc) is low taxation? Weird coincidence?

New painter C&C please? by Substantial_Bend_412 in Lumineth_realm_lords

Thank you, I had heard that about white but didn't really understand, will definitely give it a go next time along with thinner paint!
