You did in fact inspire me to try to type up a little text about celebrities and human nature - how one must delve deep into a niche hobby to find celebrities that actually has done something of value! Impossible to compare with these tv-people or other "entertainers" that seems to get so much material wealth for absolutely nothing than having a total disregard for taste, personal integrity and... okay, I am rambling... :)Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664680967354153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-42553253005072637232014-10-07T21:59:41.181+13:002014-10-07T21:59:41.181+13:00Excellent work Scott!

Yes I do know 'the Colonel'... ...Thanks :)<br /><br />Yes I do know 'the Colonel'... he used to live fairly local to me but has since moved to the bright lights of the big city... Sadly he does not seem to have done much with the hobby for some months now, and has instead been pursuing his musical interests...<br /><br />Yes I have been fortunate to catch up with the Perry's on a couple occasions... they have visited NZ several times in relation to work with Peter Jackson and LOTR, for figure sculpting work and I believe they also got involved in the film making as extras... I think they did some time being Rohan soldiers... The Perry's have connections here with the local 'virtual club' the Kapiti Fusiliers and often when they have come over here, have spent an evening meeting the club members, both enjoying dining & socialising out in Wellington, and indeed playing games at club members houses - using the Colonels Cowboy town set up on at least one occasion. I have offered to host them in the past, but I am little too far north I think from their Wellington base when they visit, to make it a comfortable evenings playing and journey time. <br /><br />The last time I met up with them was a couple of years ago at Wellington Warlords Call to Arms annual event, when they dropped in for a look with Aly Morrison, en-route to seeing Peter, I believe then about the Hobbit miniatures...<br /><br />I have also been a fan of their work for a long time, for the more realistically proportioned sculpts, (compared to the OTT WFB and 40K stuff we are so often exposed to from GW), that they do. Their LOTR stuff is obviously my favourite.<br /><br />Yes agreed I get so frustrated when models start falling over knocking each other over, especially with top heavy banners which are usually right in the thick of it, to get the best effect from their banner in the surrounding melees...Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-61047695710295240032014-10-07T12:41:16.774+13:002014-10-07T12:41:16.774+13:00Thanks, yes I will be dirtying them up a bit :)Thanks, yes I will be dirtying them up a bit :)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-7245221760966724742014-10-07T12:40:28.336+13:002014-10-07T12:40:28.336+13:00Thanks, yes good point :)Thanks, yes good point :)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-64459981112983662192014-10-07T12:39:43.452+13:002014-10-07T12:39:43.452+13:00Yes I do plan to tart them up a bit - I just wante...Yes I do plan to tart them up a bit - I just wanted to put it out there that terrain making can be relatively easy to do and still be effective and visually appealing... I have been demo-ing the game at the local club, and have generated some interest, and if the local younger players can see how fairly easily it can be to make terrain ... we will have a growing amount of terrain available at the club :)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-21820242509155460262014-10-07T11:26:38.152+13:002014-10-07T11:26:38.152+13:00I agree with the other guys: Very simple and effec...I agree with the other guys: Very simple and effective walls, which can be further improved with adding soem weathering powders, rubble or even moss.

Best of all is it's Middle-Earthen!<br /><br />Quick question on a totally unrelated note: Do you happen to know blogger and hobbyist extraordinaire Colonel O'Truth? I might have seen an image of him with the Perrys a couple of years ago. Someone in the bloggosphere said you too have been depicted with these celebrities - can you right or wrong this "someone"? :D<br /><br />- - -<br /><br />Back to the terrain: The elaboration of this terrain project will be very interesting to follow. Also, the decision to leave the basing on terrain that can, in fact, stand on its own is something I strongly agree with! <br /><br />No need to have ugly basing that won't "melt in" very well with the battle mat or whatever foundation one might use - I did the contrary when I first started the hobby, with the first terrain I did; made it really clear rules-wise and very "defined" with sharp base edges, which naturally looked awful and with high edges... so, long story short: Huzzah for baseless terrain, wherever possible!Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664680967354153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-20980411464175699192014-10-07T07:01:26.334+13:002014-10-07T07:01:26.334+13:00You really are quite a clever chap Scott!
