I'm planning a pulp game (Putting the terrain together p.4 )

I love your photos, this is a work of genius.

Legion1963-- You have my advice and permission to give the Peter Jackson "King Kong" a miss. There are a few good lines, but there's no "weight" to the CGI sequences. In the same way that they show a steel-hulled tramp freighter banging broadside into rocks and rolling away like a fiberglas canoe in a stream, they show a 7 meter gorilla who presumably weighs upwards of 10 tons flipping around like an acrobat. And the scene of Kong gliding across the frozen pond in Central Park floored me. "How thick is that ice? No, not that thick, really!"

So you mean that King Kong, a film about a 10 ton gorilla, isn't a realistic film? My god!

Love this thread, and that conversion on the face is fantastic

Just... AMAZING!

Love the miniatures, the cards, the scenery... and your converted KONG is a piece of art.

You are sooo talented man.

Thanks for sharing.

Silversixx -  

I'll accept a 10-ton gorilla - that's fantastic and I like Pulp for elements of the fantastic and the heroic within a real world setting of the 1920s-30s. 10-ton gorillas performing aerial kung-fu gymnastics with Tyrannosaurus Rexes edges leaps into the absurd, which they reinforced by ignoring real-world stuff like the ice and the ship. It seems sometimes that filmmakers throw in elements like the ship sequence because they don't believe that the audience will accept that the ship's in danger if it isn't shooting around like a chip on a millrace. It's like showing a giant cruise ship turning multiple barrel-rolls. (Oh, wait, that movie's been done. Twice....)

Sorry about the thread-littering. I really love your AARs, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that I envy your toys and the fun you guys are having!
