From LeeH - Victorian Photographers (Pipers Peak) (40 points)

As I cut my way through the jungle on Challenge Island I hear a noise up ahead. I hear muffled voices and chillingly the only word I can make out is "...cheese...". What manner of terrible arcane ritual is taking place this far into the forest? Despite my fears, my curiosity gets the better of me and I creep silently through the underbrush. As I get closer I can hear the occasional mechanical clicking noise. With rising trepidation, I part the final fronds of the bush in front of me and reveal.....two victorian photographers! One stands ready with fresh photographic plates in his hands while his companion peaks through the viewfinder.


The figures are 28mm foot to eye. The camera is cast as part of the photographer but the tripod is assembled separately and for reasons that I don't understand was a proper b----r to stick together. I've assembled smaller models but getting the third leg to stay in position long enough for the glue to set seemed to be a challenge too far. Some days its probably best to just walk away! 




This is my fourth location on the island and in the distance, I can see the mountain of the Snow Lord himself. But first I need to see a man about a badger!

Great idea for this location on Challenge Island Lee. I sympathize with your frustration on getting the tripod assembled, and I'm sure many Challengers have had similar experiences, hoping that the right combination of glue, glaring and swearing will somehow make the process go faster...or go at all!

That's 40 points for you, great work.

  2. Nice work on these photogs Lee. I always struggle getting little bits stuck onto the figures properly, and not on me.
