That is one great looking castle. I have never really worked up the courage to start cutting up my warhammer fortress. But perhaps I should..

Sadly I think all my photos from the Dracula photo stories have been lost in the Photobucket debacle :'(

Malamute, I don't really think so...  ;)



Chapter 1

Its may 1897 and a young English lawyer Johnathan Harker has travelled to Transylvania at the request of a certain Count Dracula to negotiate the sale of properties in England.

Johnathan is staying in Bistritz and is about to leave on the coach when the locals try to stop him, warning him not to go to the castle. A kindly woman presses him to take a crucifix....



As the coach pulls away the locals can be seen in the distance giving the evil eye sign and crossing themselves.




And everything else HERE: http://www.matakishi.com/draculaserial.htm




 ;)

BTW: this whole "DRACULA - A Malamute Production" thread should be reposted on a sticky!

 :D

Bloody hell, I had forgotten Matakishi had added it to his website. Well done for remembering. :)

I've seen this before; great to see it again.  Really wonderful work... one of those things that needs to come to the top of the list every once in awhile.

Malamute, so stop everything you're doing and go write a sticky thread with all the text and pictures of your gorgeous DRACULA Production... RIGHT NOW!!!   :D

And yes, we're all waiting for the next chapter of the story! And MORE half naked vampiresses, of course!  ;)

Nick, that is amazing, build, paint, composition and photography all just bloody stunning.

But... TEN years? Is it that long since I last went to BLAM? Cos I remember you showing it off there (it was very atmospheric with the genuine attic spiderwebs).

Nick not wishing to inflate your ego too much but your post on the Dracula story was one of the outstanding posts on LAF in my opinion, bearing in mind there have been some outstanding things over the years, but this is up there with the very best of them. A true artistic production.

If the Moderator had any sense he would have made it a sticky for future generations.  :D :D

I can't believe you would have trusted all your photos to those shysters at Photobucket. A sad day for us all.

I suppose you could do it all again? lol lol

Vagabond, no need to cry, everything of the original MALAMUTE'S DRACULA is safe HERE: http://www.matakishi.com/draculaserial.htm

But I totally agree with you that Malamute should repost it on a sticky thread RIGHT NOW! AND give us the next chapter as soon as possible...  ;)

Thanks Chaps for the kind comments.

When I look at the pictures now to me they look very dated, badly composed, some partialy out of focus, etc. It would be a big undertaking to do it again and I don't think I have the time or the inclination. You'll have to make do with looking at them on Matakishi's thread lol
