Right! Absolutely. Just have not gotten that far along yet. Yes, Smaug was jewel crested underneath, except for a hollow patch in his left breasts. Well for many, myself included, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (books) are well worth reading and re-reading. Much like revisiting old friends after a while. If you enjoyed the Hobbit than I am sure you will find the LOTR enjoyable as well. Thanks for the feedback. It really does help to have other eyes and thoughts to help steer you along. :o) Rob
