Napoleonic Nassau sculpts!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

They upset M'lady?

Oooooh nasty! Meat pies for the casting dwarves again.

It's a bad picture probably, the camera struggles with sculpts that have been converted as the shiny metal and dark putty seem to confuse my Auto settings. 
It's probably about time I worked out how to use the manual settings properly!

Don't bother, Leon.....It's almost impossible....But if you do find out, let me know ! .....There's just too much contrast.... Unless you want to experiment for hours with different lighting.....Or a polarizing filter...That might work ?

It seems to depend on the colour of the putty, as much as anything else.

Ummm ... just asking, but is Leon026 a clone?

Do they have their own accounts now? What happened to Leon002 to Leon025? 

I was wondering when this was going to come up but, I suspect,  like most others wasn't going to ask 

Could some kind soul explain the clone significance to Leon026, I haven't been here long enough to know the back story

[fred.]

The clones of Leon mainly came about due to the amount of work Leon does. We decided that the only explanation of the level of customer service provided, while being on the forum, and posting orders, etc, etc. Was that there were a set of Clones of Leon.

In Middle-Borough dwells a force of unnaturalness. Most times it is seen by mortals only as a shadow flitting across shadows, heard as a whisper within echos, touched as a butterfly wing in a beehive. It is called the Dark Lord and it truly dwells in another place and time, but touches our existence as flowing water touches a stone. At time is strains and stretches and walks the paths of man, and in this guise it is known as Leon.  

The Dark Lord is the Master of Pendraken. He keeps in thrall misshapen creatures, known as casting dwarves, shut up in a dark caverns beneath an innocent looking hill. Men may tramp over this greenery for years and never suspect the toil and misery enacted below their feet, though the fey may experience a faint shiver as they pass over. The Word of Pendraken has sounded around the lands beyond Middle-Borough and foolish men have flocked to become the playthings of the Dark Lord; selling their souls for a few trinkets of soft metal. So many came that the Dark Lord found that even his eldrich powers were not sufficient and so, in his vaulted chambers he brooded and inhaled the smoke of many rare herbs, and drank deeply of the fizzy pop of truth and forgetfulness. For long time he sat and pondered. His consort, Milady could not console him, though she tried to distract him by dressing in the ancient way and presenting him the fabled Controller of Exbox. But he would not be disturbed and cuffed her about the head.

The time the Dark Lord spent in hospital was fruitful. He instigated another NHS reform, and he found the answer to his problem. So in a ceremony so terrible, that not even Channel 5 would screen it, the Dark Lord made copies of himself. These were mostly mindless creatures, for he feared that one would grasp at his Dark Power (and indeed one has risen to high position within the government) and they now oversee the casting dwarves in the caverns in Middle-Borough. Producing soft metal trinkets to enslave the hearts of men and remove their wits.

You had to edit that? What did you remove? Is there a schism in the words of worship?

[Techno]

I think he carelessly named the clone in the government and had to delete it, before 'they' came round to sort him out.
('They' are the "Silent watchers".)

Cheers - One of the Nozdrul.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

No, not the Silent Watchers!

[Techno]

Ho, YUS !!

Trouble is...When they turn up, all you can hear is CLANG, CLANG, CLANG......Which, to be honest, is a bit of a giveaway.
Now, young Wilbo......Put on the ring.

[paulr]

Perhaps I shouldn't have asked...

The Book of the Dark Lord is constantly changing, as her moulds reality for his amusement.

The Third Fourth Edition (of 2014) is available in all ethereal book shops now.

[Rob]

Leon, whats the approximate schedule for getting all of the new Napoleonics into production?

[Leon]

We're looking at the new year now, with the Brits being first.  We've got them all master moulded, I just need to spin off enough for the production moulds and then we can get started on those.

[Dragoon]

6 Mths. To go and not a figure for the 21st. Regiment of foot. Sigh!!
