Hi to all ,
Films have often been the inspiration to get sculptors going , so it was nice to see what Pyramid Gaming released and now on their website .
I would like to say my apologies to Black Pyramid
and the sculptor for being unable to get round to the review till now ...life !!!!
Its time to take a seat in the front row of the cinema, grab the popcorn ....we are going to enjoy ourselves....and be careful where you put that candyfloss
The thread says trio but I decided to do all in one review as they are all from the same film , they are all available individually of course from the website.
The characters are all from the 1975 film
Starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine ably supported by Saeed Jaffrey and Christopher Plummer, the film is based on a short story by Rudyard Kipling,
this adventure film follows the exploits of Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) and Danny Dravot (Sean Connery), English military officers stationed in India. Tired of life as soldiers, the two travel to the isolated land of Kafiristan, where they are ultimately embraced by the people and revered as rulers. After a series of misunderstandings, the natives come to believe that Dravot is a god, but he and Carnehan can't keep up their deception forever.
Its a feelgood film and a really enjoyable watch ...I had this in my DVD so just had to watch it !!
Kipling

Details of what we will be looking at :
Title: Daniel Dravot, Peachy Carneham, Private Billy Fish
Series: Tales from The Raj
Reference: RAJ002 , RAJ 003, RAJ 004
Scale: 80mm from base to top of head approx 1/12th
Material: Gray Resin
No of pieces: , 5 in first , 2 in the remaining 2
Sculptor : Steve Leadley ( Valiant on PF)
Prep
This applies to all of the pieces , a small bit of sanding on the undersides then fit the base supplied . On Dravot there is also a arm to fit and his sceptre's into the hand.
That's it all very easy and simple to do
We will look at the resin next
