A quick bonus post to publicly thank Andrew 'Loki' Saunders of 'Loki's Great Hall' fame for this rather splendid addition to my collection. I have long admired Andrew's brushwork and so was thrilled when I heard that I had scooped this fine miniature as part of his 75,000 page view giveaway.
Even better in the flesh, as it were, I decided that this brave little chap needed an adventure all of his own and set about creating a silly story using the 'Comic Life' software that I invested in last month.
I would like to point out that no Dragons, or for that matter brave Knights were injured in the making of this comic strip; in fact the Dragon was abled played by 'Spiny' the Spinosauras, a new arrival to 'Awdry Towers' - another splendid birthday gift from the 'Saintly Mrs. Awdry'!
Excellent and very, very funny, I love this story!

DeleteNow, were those big chaps Timpo knights? I owned a good number of them around 40 years ago... ah, nostalgia!
ReplyDeleteGood spot Ev, but they are actually Timpo rip offs that I got in a mixed bag when building up an old collection. If you want nostalgia check out the Timpo link in the Minutiae side bar.
