Very Nice. Is your lovecraft figure "Ian Chsetserton" from blacktree's Dr Who colection?

[Plynkes]

Or maybe from the Copplestone Gangster range? One of the Honest Citizens?

The two figures are very similar.

[Hammers]

I am quite certain it is the Robert De Niro young Godfather figure from aforementioned Copplestone range.

[Westfalia Chris]

Nice. Now which one of the green icky things is R.E. Howard and which is the Editor who kept cheating H.P. of his well-deserved fame and fortune?

R.E. Howard is still being painted up.  He's another fellow from the Honest Citizens pack.  :mrgreen:

[Plynkes]

You need a crime boss figure for him.

He looked like Al Capone!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

btw, there is a sort of autobiographic movie about Howard "The Whole Wide World"

[Plynkes]

Yeah, I really enjoyed that picture, Prof. I keep meaning to look for it on DVD.

Having spoken with several folks in Cross Plains who actually knew Robert E. Howard, they all say that the portrayal in the film is 99% spot on.  The reason being is that it was written from Novalyne Price's book One Who Walked Alone, which is a memoir/journal kept by her about her relationship with Howard.  Essentially, you have his girlfriend telling you how things were then.  If anybody knew him better, it would possibly be his parents, maybe Truett Vinson or Clyde Tevis Smith, but she was the one that he did his best to open up his heart to.  No, she knew exactly who he was and did her best to understand and convey that in her book.  It translates to the screen masterfully.  

That the film essentially got overlooked by critics, which is a damn shame, it is an amazing film.  Love, hate or indifferent about Howard, it is what we know about him from someone who knew him.  

Sorry about the semi-thread-jack here, this is a topic I can go on and on about for days.

This is a Shub-Niggerauth Idol I cast in bronze with some investigators to scale.




And here's my first project from that class.  A ancient and mysterious disk.

[Uncle Mike]

Love that idol! Will you be casting/selling them? If so, Ia! Ia! Please. :love:
