Hello from Italy

I'd be a very, very 'hirsute' mouse, at the mo'.

Welcome Andrew, beautiful photographs.

Is that a sand table - quite rare these days, and beautifully done.

That's not surprising, since you are banned form using sharp implements.

[Techno]

If only, Ian !

(Not so much sharp implements, in the last few days.......But the Dremmel's taking a damn good hammering.*)

Cheers - Mr Covered-In-White-Metal-Shards.

* Stroll on.....The tungsten carbide bits/routers are clogging up, every few minutes. The one thing I don't like about using the Dremmel, is that I can't hear the talking books.

I should also point out that Techno is a sculptor for Pendraken. Have a look at the Korean War range or the Aztecs and he did a lot of the work on the Warband range.

Ever since reading this I've been thinking an inordinate amount about the Aztecs. I fear I smell another project brewing, they are lovely looking sculpts.

P.S. whatever taboo exists around the Aztecs predates my joining the forum, so I'll say it loud and proud! Until I get shouted down and shamed. Then I'll probably still say it loud and proud but with a wry smile...

It's time for an Aztec pride day down Mexico way.

Don't care whether I wear a feather, get used to it!

FierceKitty launched a lengthy campaign to get Pendraken to make 10mm Aztecs that put Cato the Censor ("Carthago Delenda Est!") to shame!

Ah, I did notice such comments when pursuing some past posts. Fair play. What have the Romans ever done for us? Brought us the Aztecs!

[Leman]

FK will insist on calling them Mexicans, so perhaps Techno could produce a suitably attired mariachi band!

[mmcv]

They also called themselves the Tenochca, which has neither modern nor imperialist implications.

Apologies to Jamsus for thread derailment but it's a pretty common occurrence round these parts!

Bog off ! 

Having said that......I did catch something on the TV a couple of nights ago, which I really want to make.

Just a one off 'from' WWII.

It made me smile, LOTS !

When I've got some spare time (HAH !!), I'll have to have a go at this one.
Not something that Leon would ever ask me to make....So it'll be 'off my own bat'.

OK - so what ?

[Leman]

Bet you peeked at all your Christmas presents.

[Techno]

OK - so what ? IanS

Does that mean you want a clue, Ian ? 

I'd never heard of this 'character'.....(Which is hardly surprising with my lack of historical knowledge).....But I'd bet at least half of the WWII 'gang', here would instantly get the answer, with the only clue(s) I can think of at the mo'.

Cheers - Phil
