Ferrum et GloriaLucca 2011: models
Posted by moscarelliNov 14
Someone think that Lucca Games is a fair for gadgets, boardgames or videogames, but there is a large attention to miniatures and modelling, you have to look better to realise it.
Here we have a heir of Blood Bowl: another ruleset, different miniatures, but the same result. I like this playing field, it has a a refined taste, with the square subdivision only suggested on the ground.
I like original ideas. These ones are skeletons on a tracker, but with a baywatch theme! Great!
Huh, the Doctor is in the fair. Old Black Tree miniatures brought to life in the painters section of the fair. They passed all the time painting. The next time I have to bring a miniature with me for them, just to have something well painted to remind the fair. This year there was a Sandokan miniature as miniature of the event, but I didn’t buy it, maybe because I don’t have plans for a pirate set. I’m stupid, I could buy it and have it painted just at the desk in front of Ganesha Games stand…
Cosimo Auricchio is the sculptor of TB Line miniatures. He is a free lance, a real artist, which sometimes sculpt even in 28mm format. Here you can see this skeleton pirate. Great miniature and great painter who highlighted the piece.
Cosimo sold dummies for sculptors, but there were others. I have not expectation on my skills as sculptor so I didn’t buy them. Narciso instead wants to try.
Inside Lucca Games there is Grogg, a coontest about modelling and painting. Here some examples of the historical type.
Do you want a bust of Thor? Every house must own its Thor bust. It is only 800 euros, limited production I suppose. Not so discreet.
WOG is the new incarnation of WOW. From the sense of wonder to an insult. Now Ares Games produce these aircraft for the popular game that was Wings of War, because Nexus Games went bankrupt. New production, some new fighters and bombers, a lot of bombers.
Preproduction models from China, that bomb us with cheap plastic toys.
Yamato in space. Huge ship, more than a simple model, it is big as a small torpedo…
Pikachu in a human form, as Japanese puppets imitate human forms. A play of mirrors…
Saint Seiya are puffs. I like only the temple in this scene, but a lot of people like these gold puppets more.

Per fare le foto alle vetrine procurati una lente (o un filtro) polarizzato serve per eliminare il riflesso e la tua immagine in trasparenza!

Ti ricordo che faccio le foto di questo blog con la camera di un cellulare!!! Che come qualità è migliore della macchinetta digitale che ho e che ormai non uso più! Secondo me faccio miracoli già così. Inoltre il cellulare è comodissimo perché lo hai sempre in tasca e lo tiri fuori quando si presenta l’occasione per fare una foto, invece che obbligarsi nel portare un corpo macchina ingombrante. Avrei alternativamente una reflex completamente manuale e a pellicola 35mm, ma penso che non la userò mai più. Quindi, se vuoi foto più belle e più polarizzate, l’unica cosa che ti resta è venire con me in giro a farle, visto che sei mezzo giapponese e che hai una fotocamera ottima ; D

E infatti quello che volevo dirti è di cambiare macchina fotografica che altrimenti il blog non può certo fare quello scatto verso che ti aspetti tanto per raggiungere il mio!
Insomma se critichi i blog altrui aspettati le critiche degli altrui blogger!!
PS: La mia fotocamera è vetusta ma fa il suo sporco lavoro!
