Each year we seem to set our
self bigger and harder targets prior to Salute, and this year was no
exception. We have gained a new member to our group, Ben, who was
responsible for the fantastic empire Music Hall and MI1 (The
Ministry of International Intrigue) I also set about making my
biggest model to date, the London residence of Colonel Sir Henry
Templeton-Smyth. It measures in at 2' by 3' with a lower ground
floor, ground and first floors plus detachable roofs. The
whole model comes apart into ten separate sections. It contains more
than sixty windows, electric lighting on the terrace, and a huge
Botecelli on the wall of the Ball Room. (we will
feature this model in the scenery section of this site) We
were delighted with the response our new models received and would
like to thank all of you who made supportive and admiring comments.
(However we would
also like to thank the lady who took so much pleasure in telling us
that the windows were 'wrong' as they wouldn't be arched, after all
if it wasn't for people such as you we wouldn't be able to keep our
feet on the ground would we? It was also a timely reminder to ensure
that players and spectators realise that EOE is in fact a
fantasy game and reassure those of you who were concerned
that there never was a real plot in 1905 to blow up the houses of
parliament by a fanatical catholic order, and in fact Queen Victoria
was really dead by this point, phew for a moment I thought it was
all real!)
