1914 Project: Pendraken, Kallistra and Magister Millitum

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

So long as youse don't talk welsh at us.

Anyway, getting back to the main point, there's quite a height difference, especially if you take into account the thickness of the base.

Poor wee Pendraken fellows, quite diddy compared to the Kallistra heafers.

I bought some Kallistra siege stuff, but abandoned the crew as being too Herculean to set alongside my Pendraken fellows.

Streetgang, thanks for posting the figure comparisons. These are incredibley helpful to have in the forum database. It would be nice to have a category to post them in put most of us lack thread discipline. Happily the search feature frequently finds them

Usually I share fsn's aversion to prone or kneeling figures but the LoA kneeling musketeer is the exception. Looks really good as a kneeling front rank.

I ha'int got no accent.

Once in southern Wales a guy (I think it was a guy) said to me: " yo'kin grub ta buk an brack som'it" (or words to that effect) - we were in a petrol station at the time with a large Volvo station wagon (if that helps with context).

  Yers ... well that's Welsh humour for you. "Brack som't". Very good.

I have no antipathy to sculpts in a kneeling pose per se. I just find them somewhat odd when leading a column down a road, and would rather see advancing or marching figures.

" yo'kin grub ta buk an brack som'it"

The sounds more Black Country! But then it'd all be run together if it was, I guess... and preceeded by an "Awww".

"Awwwwwyo'kingrubtabukanbracksom'itourbab, loike".

Whatever it is.....It don't (sic) sound Welsh.

It may not sound Welsh, but it has been filtered through d_Guy.

I can't think of any Welsh equivilents, but I give you Scottie in Star Trek, Mel Gibson in Braveheart and dear old Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Ayways, it sound a bit North Welsh.

Anyways, it sound a bit North Welsh.

My first thought was a Scottish burr....But I'll take your word for that, Nobby. 

Cheers - Phil
