Re: TV series influence on sculpting miniatures for Martin's characters
LOVED episode 3. The show keeps getting stronger and stronger in my opinion. HBO is getting it right in my opinion.
George is VERY involved and vocal about the miniature range Dark Sword is producing so it makes total sense to be able to show HBO what he envisioned things to look like if there is a real 3-D object to show them that he approved.
I know the scene you are talking about in the 2nd episode and it really stunned me as well even though I knew it was coming.
George has had one helluva ride these past 12 months, no question about it.
FYI - You can see pictures of George's visit to MN on the Dark Sword Facebook page.
Re: TV series influence on sculpting miniatures for Martin's characters
That actually makes a lot of sense if Martin is heavily involved with both the miniatures and the show. When I saw Varys on the third episode and then the miniature afterwards, I thought they looked pretty similar, and even Littlefinger kind of had a similar feel.
I just wanted to thank you guys too for keeping such a nice and updated site. It really looks good and I find myself going to it almost daily to see if there are any updates or changes, as inevitably you add things pretty frequently. Very nice work and excellent figures and godlike paint jobs to display them!
