Little to say about either figure other than I tried to make the crosses painted on each of the two figures a little different from what I have generally done in the past. ---000--- Well It Made Me Laugh ---000--- Give Me Five Horror movies are probably my least favorite genre unless you include zombie films like Shaun of the Dead which some online lists do (so I have done so as well!).  However, IRO  asked if I'd done this category yet and as I hadn't and in order to keep him quite now that he has done his shed I thought I would address the issue.  My top five are probably very tame so I will let others like IRO  enlighten us.  In no particular order. The Exorcist (1973) Shaun of the Dead (2004) Zombieland (2009) The Omen (1976) Dracula (1958 - Hammer Horror) ---000--- Footsore Miniatures  Having been pleasantly surprised to be highlighted by Mark Farr in his Footsore News Letter I was taken aback to see that I got another mention in his next one!  I confess to being properly chuffed.  "Continuing with the Barons' War we have this lovely pair from David Green. A very nice Richard I is paired with a Foot Knight that has a rather spiffy shield. Which looks like freehand heraldry! Well done David, these are great" ---000--- This week TIM has been listening to ... "Rockstar" by Nickleback.  I like this track and the video in equal measure.  It's hard to argue with the lyrics and it's easy to understand the desire to become a Rockstar too.  That said I tend to receive such perks and adulation just by being a modeller.  Miniature painting is, as we all know, so rock and roll.  ---000--- This week TIM has been watching ... "Run Hide Fight" starring Isabel May and a couple of other actors I'd never heard of.  A topical film for America, which is to say it's about an every day school shooting.  I guess the subject was always going to make it to a film at some point.  The film got off to a good start but I did think the ending was a little flawed. ---000--- Remember ... The "Dyson Ball Cleaner" is a very misleading product name. ---000--- TIM theimperfectmodeller | September 22, 2021 at 5:16 am | Categories: Musings, Uncategorized | URL: https://wp.me/p8wKMU-2OQ Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from The Imperfect Modeller.
