Lucca 2010: Ferrum et Gloria

This is the last post about Lucca. Wow, I wanted to publish only some pics but instead I covered all the event with 14 posts! And to make this I spent a lot of time. I don’t want to pass all my time on this blog, I have other things to do! I had so much fun in Lucca and I wished to show you the feel that remains in me. From the last year, when I stayed in Lucca only a day, I wanted to stay the full period of the convention. I waited an entire year, so this was very important to me.

My game was present in Lucca too. I took with me the miniatures, the rules and my portable arena! Lucca games was so huge that I think only a few noted me and my fighters. Another time I must bring with me some hostesses undressed like female gladiators and it will be a full success.

I presented the game but I’m still not full ready with the rules and the heat and the chaos were not the best situation to explain it. It was only a taste of water. I was in Lucca too and this is the important thing.

Lucca 2010: Atomic Rocket

lucca 2010

Atomic Rocket is a multimedia project by two friends of mine. It is all about a fictional Italian comic group in late sixties of the past century. Their productions were on weird super-heroes, mixed with Italian noir comics style, full of sex and violence. Some comics was made by photos as you can see on these covers.

I participate with ideas and writing, some concepts are mine, in their fist comic book there is an introduction re-wrote by me. I wish to be part of all this but I have no time, I’m very sorry.

I’m very proud of this project, my friends are doing a great work! In the real life they are not super heroes but a graphic designer and video maker (Francesco Brunotti, on the left) and a scene designer (Roberto Papi, on the right).

I hope they can have a good result like the Lucca one, where they sold a lot at their stand and were contacted by people of comic and fashion fields.

Lucca 2010: cosplay

lucca 2010

You must think about one thing: all the time involved in the making of the costumes. It is a hard work of needle and sewing thread, a dressmaking work by improvised milliner, long as our miniature projects. I can see impressive realisations, an high quality that astonish.

lucca 2010

The contest was in the open. A long queue to show your costume and your play over the stage. People have wi-fi microphones and musical bases, contact lens and hour of preparation in front of a mirror. It seems something more serious and professional than a simple passing. People here is what they want to be and not what they are in normal life.

This area was free access and while the show went on, others were making their show in the street.

Infamous Red Skull (nazi a go go!) and space vessel Yamato with its captain inside!

A demon boy from Go Nagai (15° and a freezing wind, and this mad was naked!) and Lego Batman (there is man inside!)

On Sunday, because of the rain, the contest went on inside an ancient palace, but I was inside the games pavilion all the day.

Tomorrow more interesting cosplay…

Lucca 2010: sexy models

There is a type of models only for men, more than trains or tanks: undressed girls! I prefer the real ones, but sometimes is pleasant to see the forms of a beautiful girl around you. Men are sexually attracted by view, so even a plastic little girl is something that is attractive. Here a gallery of Japanese models about sensual girls, viewed in Lucca.

Lucca 2010: models

lucca 2010Inside Lucca Games there were spaces for a lot of models, as action figures, vinyl toys, Japanese robots, miniatures and so on…
There were even some greens like the chtuluian Christ on the left. A lot were of fantasy type (I never understand why one must sculpt a fake knight when there are real and historical knights more interesting; study history, is more fun than fiction!) but there were even different things made of green stuff and even a big Ork walker (I don’t remember the name of the class chose by GW for this robot) for Warhammer 40000, made with various bits and a pandoro (typical Italian Christmas cake) box from Bauli for its body! Orkish but good inside…

There were even some people who painted during the convention. Masters of paints, obviously.

Japan is the country of robots and nice gadgets.

Lucca 2010: Ma.K.

Do you know Ma.K.s? They are a Japanese series of models about military armours and vehicles of near future with a WWII German touch. A participation game was set with Ma.K.s during a recent Salute, a big effort, they are not very cheap 1/20 models. I don’t know why in Lucca there was a models contest about Ma.K.s, but you can see a lot of people know them…
