question for Techno

[petercooman]

So on the oldhammer facebook page somebody posted a pic of this fellow:



It is an alternative armies model and the guys over there were discussing it's "proportions"

And then someone said:"Phil Lewis sculpt I think."


So just curious Phil, is it yours?

All the scar tissue suggests it may be a self-portrait.

I thought so too, but he still has all his fingers...

Managed to rub chilli in my own eye tonight, can I claim that as "doing a techno?"?

Once tried to make love after cooking Indian food, with too little attention to washing hands. It was funny a week later.

Had a similar issue with kebab and chilli sauce, she was not happy

I think it is, Peter......(Though I don't remember it looking quite like that.)

The story...
I made a figure while I was at GW (that never went on general release) that got called a 'spider troll'. (Don't ask.)......Think those go for silly money if they come up, as there were only a dozen or so cast.)
I took a copy of the 'spider troll to show Mac (the originator of Alternative Armies)....He liked it and said "Make me one of those....We can't use the original, as that really belongs to GW"

It would have been the very first model I ever made commercially.

Thinking about how truly awful some of the early figures I made were.....It probably is mine. 

Cheers - Phil

Ok, thanks for the info, shared your story with the guys on the oldhammer topic.

I found a piccie online wich shows it in a unit, looks good to me when surrounded by its kin.





This one didn't go for silly money though

That's the Alternative Armies one, I'm pretty sure, Peter....I'm surprised it went for that much ! 

The GW one has more of a goblinoid face.....and I'm pretty certain it doesn't have any hair.

Stuff of legends to the rescue

Looks...... special 

[Techno]

Oh ......Good......Grief ! 

Matey on the right, I'd completely forgotten about.....Well, it WAS over a quarter of a century ago.
Special....NO......Trying to learn how to push putty about.....Yes !! 

Cheers - Phil

Well, it is what a troll should look like!

They aren't supposed to win a beauty pageant!
