So the games day miniature will be a new Marco Columbo. Is anyone planning on going and getting one? Another mini for Chumley's collection

I have the old Marco Columbo but I'm still tempted

I'll pass on it. I don't like the arrogant look to him at all.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #8 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:04:25 PM »

I don't have the luxury of being able to pass on it lol

Delthos · « **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:07:51 PM »

You are correct! I think it may be physically impossible for you to pass on it at this point.

trahaha !

help me

ragentry · « **Reply #11 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:57:33 PM »

Think hes a great model. I will.be getting ripped off on ebay for this one. Think the arrogance of someone like him is so well captured

I like the chameleon thing on his shoulder, if it wasn't for that I would probably stick with my old Marco but I love small animals like that so will probably get someone from my local store to pick one up when they go.

Very cool model

I wonder if Rik Mayall is getting a royalty, ............. well maybe it should be Rowan Atkinson and Ben Elton.

went to memphis, got two, nice model goes together well with neat little gubbins on the base. although price was high, 30.00 steveb

Master Dwarf · « **Reply #16 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:33:14 PM »

Damn I had convinced myself I didn't need one....

Boreas_NL · « **Reply #17 on:** August 14, 2013, 11:27:43 AM »

Nice model, but I won't be getting one... All the Lizardmen details kind of ruined him (at least for me). I know they are there for fluff reasons, but I just don't like em...

Edit: Could someone post pics of the compoments? Maybe I can 'salvage' enoug of the model to make it worth it...

Grutch · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2013, 01:52:37 PM »

Anyone going to the next games day? Ill send you money to procure him for
me. Please send tell.

steveb · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2013, 02:17:36 PM »

the hand holding the head can be removed with a sharp knife and something else could replace it, more problematic is the lizard skin cape, it looks nice, but if it too throws you off it could be sanded/carved down and greenstuffed to make it more normal, but why this is an unusual character, it you want him to look like everyone else then why bother to begin with? I like him and now wish that I had bought several more to convert. steveb

Timbor · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2013, 02:24:29 PM »

I second the request of Grutch. If anyone is going and can pick one up for me, I would be in your debt! Chumley, you wanna pick up a whole mess of these for us?

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2013, 02:33:54 PM »

Can any1 pick me one up lol?!

You could always cut off the hand holding the gold lizard skull and replace it with that fancy pistol from the general box.
If I remember correctly, that hand also has a glove so it'll fit perfectly.

I wouldn't bother to remove the cloak and the chameleon.
That gives him a lot of character. Makes him look like he's traveled the whole world and seen a lot (which he has, of course

).

As for the pendant, you could always scrape it of and replace it with a comet, or something else which you find appropriate.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2013, 03:38:41 PM »
