Is this the line to buy tickets for the Captain Blood Express? Return ticket? No - I don't think I want to come back.

I've got a ticket

This is going to be great. Very exciting!

Magnificent start.

Thanks

Think I shall make a few Starks next - or is that a bit too predictable?
Perhaps I'll make them Boltons instead

Very nice conversions, looking forward to seeing this develop.

Greyjoys may be nice too

Captain Blood · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2014, 10:25:37 AM »

Good thinking Karl. Greyjoys are definitely on the list.

I see the Greyjoys as a curious cross between Vikings and High Medieval. Kind of late era Vikings.

Unlike HBO, I do not see them wearing all-in-one padded monochrome jumpsuits like some sort of cut-price sci-fi troopers...

I do too, from the TV series I like to think of them more like sea born border reivers (northern accents etc)

Love the start, Cap!

And the whole HBO take on Greyjoys is really strange. I imagined them to be those left-over Vikings of the Orkney islands. I always assumed that them were the inspiration for Martin

Vermis · « **Reply #25 on:** January 28, 2014, 10:50:38 AM »

I've heard that the TV costumes were a sore point for Martin, because his intent was much closer to the Cap's interpretation here. (In The Making of HBO's Game Of Thrones book, the last 'chapter' is overall comments from people involved. There's a big photo of Martin, but oddly no comment from him.)

I can understand that, too. Sometimes I think the costume designer was a relative of someone at HBO, who couldn't get a job anywhere else.

Next is a Lannister spearman - quite elegant I think. Elvish almost. I blame the Italianate barbuta helmet.

I've always loved that helmet design. Come to think of it, I think I should get one for my collection

You've got a good eye for a pose Richard, I'm really looking forward to this

Hammers · « **Reply #28 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:15:48 PM »

Great, great,great...

Makes me want to continue my work on my houses of the North.

Thanks for that statement, Chris: I now have visions of the Captain striking poses to Madonna's 'Vogue' video....
