yes yes Holger, a conversion but all conversion use a base or several
not all of use have conversion-craft skills though and may require some help from expert but in the end, having a FULL converted diorama would be a “bonus” as it would also make a show and display of our conversion capacities, among MMP….
all converted (1skill) , inside a diorama (1skill), altogether embedded in a natural environnement or picture-shot with talent play on colors and lights (optionnal but 2 more skills), talented painting (1 skill) … and all of the above making the final skill of Communication/collaboration/friendship and quality in project management…
I cheked some emails from Chris on the matters of conversions and recasts… and all I can say is that everytime he clearly states that he is against recast of originals in order to do conversions, BUT ALSO against building conversions from originals directly and then recast the result… that’s a legal thing as he still owns the rights on any material converted from his work so he cannot endorse nor promote any kind of recast…
still there may be ways to make it so that recasts…. are so different than the original… well it’s not easy…
true enough, the key is to make a “piece” that would have no “collector” value at all for all its components taken apart, and that the piece altogether would be unique enough to be outside any circuit of piracy or resales as “mithril”
I know that unofficially, Chris understands the aspect of recastinng for recast, he simply cannot in any way, support it. I may use some diplomacy to discuss this aspect with him soon without giving him details about what this should look like but about the nature of this project only… so that I know what he thinks about it?
I would use figure [mith]M393[/mith] ( Sam only ) and without your diplomacy I will be forced to buy 20 copies of this figures… and after all I will have 20 extra ponies 😆
So Gildor I think you should start with political lobbying… 😎
so far we have 12 people I think who submitted to take part in this project… I think a fair number of figurines to be present would be 15…. as it already makes 225 castings in the end, that’s quite a job!!
I hope everybody agrees on this number I think that allows for one or two more participants to declare themselves, and that’s all…I think Theobald did not submit explicitly, neither did wendy…
so I’ll post the 15 final participants this week end.
updated lists of declared participants, sorted by date of declaration :
Gildor
Hsf62
Ddaines
Thingol
Milo
Sevlag
Imisel
Protozeus
Pacofeanor
Quendil
Gavin (?) – posted but not to say if he wanted to participate
Estel
Theobald
Jason Brown
Regular and veteran MMP members who have not yet answered :
Barliman, Wendy, Tom Wrich, Turambar, Erchamion
That makes 19 maximum…. so now participations are closed… that is a bit too much…
that would be odd not to have Barliman, so I hope he will answer this topic… and if you know how to reach the other regulars please tell them to post here to validate their participation.
