Still, maybe it fits - though he's a bit younger than in either of the films you mention. How about "Red River" instead?<br /><br />A damaged shield sounds like a good idea - I might just try that.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-50249583205889188682013-11-18T15:41:20.788+00:002013-11-18T15:41:20.788+00:00Thanks, arabianknight.

The westerner, I immediately thought looked a bit like Rooster Cogburn or maybe J.B, Books (from "The Shootist, one of the best western ever). The plastic DA warriors look ever bit as good as their metal counter-parts .<br />Your HotT, Barbarians wouldn't look amiss in a Lost World scenario, along with the gorgeous snake. <br />Give the missing shield transfer man at arms a fairly rough hand-painted design, then damage his shield. showing rough wood though the damage, may be a possibly.<br />What a great pair of zombies too, (I'm not a fan of their eyes though) and that check shirt is excellent.<br />As for the Fenris fences, I'm very jealous I recieved some last Xmas and have still to use mine, you're meant to get a five and a half metres, so some of your pieces may be a bit on the short side to make up the 5m length.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-68805883310632501862013-11-18T13:52:53.176+00:002013-11-18T13:52:53.176+00:00Good stuff so far.

Mark him as a recruit, unworthy of a proper shield! Or a clumsy one, who's original shield has been "alienated" (can you use this word in this context? :D) from him by one of the Merry men? :DMathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-17559149017344554982013-11-18T08:27:02.799+00:002013-11-18T08:27:02.799+00:00Thanks, I am pleased with the snake as well.
Ah, ...Thanks, I am pleased with the snake as well.<br /><br />Ah, there are several reasons why the cat thing won't work:<br /><br />- Ours are short-haired, black cats (not long-haired, white ones).<br />- I don't speak English with a middle-European accent.<br />- I'm not bald!<br /><br />(but I *am* a mastermind and I *do* have a swivel chair :-) ).Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-77947014569484298872013-11-18T00:54:41.605+00:002013-11-18T00:54:41.605+00:00beautiful snake you have there.
