Very nice work Howard. These buildings would work well with my Tibetan Jingal Gun set that was a limited edition way back with the subscription of the book from Foundry on "Small Wars and Skirmishers" by Edwin Hebert.
Best wishes,
Helen

This is actually the fourth lamasery i have built on the same basic plan; the first was at a customer's request, then someone saw it and asked for another. Then I built two more, with the intention of keeping one -- but I didn't. $200 is $200 ---

Anyway, I still don't have one of my own. Huh.

Would go well with the Copplestone Tintin. You would just need flying bases for your monks, and get an Abominable Snowman.

Cdertainly nice. But have you ever heard of resizing images. The picture doesn't even fit into my laptop screen. :-)

What was the name of that monk-boy in Tintin in Tibet? Lapsang?

I know, it's just too darn big. I resized it to 50%/. Let's try resizing to 25% ---

When I was in the army, they issued us llamas at the lamasary.

We had to sign for them. If you called it a camelid during training, you had to do fifty pushups.

I don't recall the monk-boy. The levitating monk who had visions was called Blessed Lightning in the English version. The Chinese boy whose rescue was the object of the story was called Chang.

I'll have to go look it up. Can't place who you're talking about.


Edit: Ah, the boy who Snowy attacks, to gain the monks' attention so they'll go and rescue Haddock and Tintin.

He's called Lobsang in the English edition I have (1979, don't know if they're still using the same translation).

Polynikes knows much more of the history of the boy detective than i do - I must seek this book.

My associations with this sort of scenario are based on -

Indiana Jones versus evil Nazis

The first scene of "Bulletproof Monk", with Nazis in sort of Afrika Korps kit being very unfair to Buddhist monks (except the bullet-proof one)

Those enthusiastic Shaolin chaps with all the kicking and hitting
