The Nefarious Schemes of One Fram Framson (update 6/2 - Awooga)

[FramFramson]

The cars are 1:43, which is normally far too large, but all the specific models of cars I'm using are ones which were quite small (or in the case of the Traction Avant, low-slung) in real life, so they actually fit the minis as regular medium-sized cars.

This basically took a lot of research, pestering of sellers, and false starts (with a few cars bought, then re-sold) before I finally amassed enough cars at a size I liked. My fleet basically falls between Lledo and Matchbox in size (though I have some actual Matchbox cars as well).

The Lovecraft figure had a great story. So I ordered some figures from Miniaturicum, back in... May/April, I think, and he was one of the figures I'd ordered. He was missing from the order (I got something else that had almost the same product code, so it was just a simple mistake) so I asked Michael to send me a replacement, he says sure, sorry about the mix-up, no problem.

Time goes by, I don't get the replacement. I bug Michael again, he says sorry, and he'll send another. Still nothing and now it's September, okay, what's going on! Right before I'm about to message him again, Michael contacts me to tell he knows why I haven't been getting my replacement figure: Somehow my address got mixed up with the address on another order he sent out at the same time as my original order, so he was sending these little Lovecrafts elsewhere.

Where? Well, the reason Michael figured all this out was because his sister called him to ask "Why do you keep sending me this creepy little man over and over again?" 

Excellent story. I imagine a certain writer telling a nightmarish story about himself being trapped in time and faced with evil again and again and again...

Excellent miniature painting too of course!

What I'm wondering is if the figure I now have possession of is one of the ones that detoured via his sisters house.

Better have a deep look in his eyes before painting. In case of any sign of madness you know where he used to be...

Very good paintjob!
The blue suit of the guy next to the Citroën is superb.

Haha, that's the one guy I didn't paint in this batch! Thanks though!

The Gypsy lady (hate to be PC, but the correct term today is Romany) is FANTASTIC.

But you & I can both agree Size Matters, eh?
