Great interview!  

I hope Bob Murch continues making pulp figures for many, many moons

[Howard Whitehouse]

Terrific interview! It's amazing what you find out about people - Bob and I have been friends for several years and yet I'm finding out all this stuff I didn't know! Miles Davis, eh? And Hammett over Chandler ----

Dear Howard,
maybe you should not talk about miniatures all the time  :wink:

[Howard Whitehouse]

Isn't that the way with hobby enthusiasts though? You know somebody for ten years as a miniatures enthusiast, and then somebody mentions that your friend is also, say, King of Albania, and you never knew it because you were talking about gaming the whole time!

[Driscoles]

yes, thats the way with us Howard. I was only joking. I also experienced new sides friends with who I was gaming for years...

[Howard Whitehouse]

I just hope that Bob Murch is not ACTUALLY the King of Albania, and our conversations about old magazines and casting things in resin and all that sort of thing have made me miss out on his Royal Highness-ness!

Bob story. Last year he was moving to BC, and asked me if I wanted some old fantasy figures he'd had for years. He didn't want to drag them to his new home. So I said yes, despite the fact that I was moving a few weeks later, and would have to carry them. What's a few pounds of lead? So I met him at the Toronto Pulp Show, and we went for lunch in Chinatown. Bob asked me if i had the car with me. I didn't, I'd taken a streetcar. "Ah," he said, "In that case I'll drive you home. I've got 60lbs of lead for you". And he did.

Of course, my wife was at home, and I didn't want her to know exactly how much extra weight I'd have for our own move to New York. So Bob and I walk in with two very heavy boxes, trying to look as if they weighed almost nothing. Which is easier said than done.

My wife said nothing, but I am sure she knew.

[Driscoles]

My wife would have known too ...

Howard. Now for something completely different. Got nothing to do with lead. Maybe with tough guys...I read Toronto....
Are you a LEAFS supporter ?

[Howard Whitehouse]

Alas, I don't really follow hockey. I'm British, so I'm football mad. Did you want me to get you a Maple Leafs official cap with earflaps next time I'm there? H

[Driscoles]

LOL, nope Howard...Iam not a Leafs fan either. Iam German and football mad too. I was just curious cuz I read Toronto. And I dont want you to say later " I know this Kraut for 10 years now from this Forum and why didnt he ask me about Hockey ?"
Cheers
