Some further suggestions for well known Lords
Lord Lucan
Lord Sugar (a few cubes stuck on as a hint?)
Lord Kitchener
Ten lords a-leaping
Thought of all of those, but can't do recognisable models.
Clues (such as sugar cubes) and clever hints would be great for one of those puzzle pictures, but for something like this, people need to see it straight away or they'll just go away confused.
But I've now done my ten lords in their hunting finest, and am moving on to pipers and drummers.

Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

At least pipers can hold pipes and drummers hold drums ![Mr. Green ;D](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Yep. Definitely easier to recognise.markfiend wrote:At least pipers can hold pipes and drummers hold drums

Of course not and besides I'm sure your 12 drummers will be far more recognisable in any casestufarq wrote:Yep. Definitely easier to recognise.markfiend wrote:At least pipers can hold pipes and drummers hold drums

Ah yes, the famous incident of Siegfried and Roy stuffing Phil Collins in a flight case, and sticking swords in it. They claimed they were just rehearsing for their stage act, but the luggage tag confirmed it wasn't their case, and it took six airport security guards to subdue the tiger.Microcosmia wrote:stufarq wrote:The Doktor's the only drummer I know of who fits in a case.![]()

Well, you weren't wrong. Attempted the dwarf musician and had a nervous breakdown just doing the base! Having got that far, I will be foolhardy enough to try and finish it, but I definitely won't get thirty-three of them done in time, so it'll have to go on the back burner while I do simpler pipers and drummers (probably from the same base as the lords). Those, at least, should only take a few days.markfiend wrote:I've never tried any of Eric Joisel's models, but a quick look at his old site is pretty daunting!

I hate it when that happens. There's one of Satoshi Kamiya's Dragon models that I've tried folding three times and I still can't do it. One of his weird half-sink-unsink folds and whoops the paper rips. At exactly the same point in the instructions every time.stufarq wrote:Attempted the dwarf musician and had a nervous breakdown just doing the base!
