(Heck, I even drove from Missouri to Virginia with the little orange truck in the cargo bay and it was all fine when I got there. ) This one needed to be a "hero-grade prop" if that makes sense. When you're doing lots and lots of stuff for a theatrical endeavor some stuff will be seen more clearly or for longer, and you invest more effort in that. Stuff that will only ever be glimpsed in the background can be more rudimentary in the interest of saving time and money. The ship in the background of the above shots? Not hero grade. But still useful. I tend to think of gaming as a fundamentally theatrical endeavor. Side effect of a career in theatre, I suppose.<br /><br />Anyway . . . thank you!

The size and the level of interaction with the opening cargo bay door and ramp are just perfect to make it terrain or something that actually moves.

It's a skill I learned from a few friends over the years: looking at toys different ways.<br /><br />Second, alas no, I have not built any gundam kits. I have piece of a three legged mech like kit that I've slowly scavenged for parts for decades. I had a four legged gundam like tank kit that I bought at a swap meet once. But I didn't really start seeing legit gundam kits until quite recently and I've yet to see one in the flesh. Had no idea they were even out there until a couple of years ago. They're tempting, I confess.The Composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009448596738385017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807840795432008860.post-37882299864936783602019-01-29T07:57:04.845-06:002019-01-29T07:57:04.845-06:00Solid work and a cool idea.

Aspirational. I really think of some of those things as very specialized boards. More terrain than model. (Though my hat is entirely off to he and Grove for finding a way to play them as models. And . . . I'mma gonna do that. Soon. Maybe.) This is dual purpose. It can be either. It's terrain that moves from time to time. Kind of like Ed, but more practical for the sorts of games I'm interested in now. (Ed was great for the sixteen year old me, and I love him still.)<br /><br />Anyway . . . thank you!

The governor General's stuff is amazing but I can't even conceive of where to store something that big, let alone play with it.
