Movie Tone News October 2018

Its that time of the year when a lot of the revile studio's turn their minds to horror or more to the point zombies not so here at N&D studio's, fear not we shall be releasing a horror movie in time for Halloween :)

Right so what has been happen around here of late? well with a big release planed for the Newyear everyone around here is flat out on the Western Front, no not that Western Front The Wild Western Front or to be more precise the Town of Boulderhill, yes I picked a name for the town.

The big black thing on the right side of the picture is the boulder hill

I've all the cork frames made up for the buildings with a couple of them just been mock buildings, as I don't use the inside of buildings I can get away with this :) None of the buildings are finished but 3 of them are very close with 2 of them just needing signage & the other just needing signage & a door.
The green one that's in behind the red building in the picture you seen in last months news.

This is my first two story building & is the tallest of them all

The models are 32mm scale, I might add a canopy above the two upper windows just to break it a bit. 

this one is just a single story & while it looks brown in the picture its in fact a mauve colour 

Two more have the timber cladding done which is the slowest part of the build, so over all I'm happy with the progress made, here's a couple more pictures.

This one will be the sheriff's office, the white part is where the cells are 

Not sure what this building will be yet, the side wall facing above as a big pair of gates in it

This will be the bank, I've gone for stone work on the bottom half while the up will be timber

Here we have one of the mock buildings

 Its not only the sets & props team that been busy the makeup department have been getting the costumes ready as well.

These are Foundry models, which come mounted & unmounted see below

Their 28mm 

In other news, now you lot will know I don't do advertisement, tried it once but as Vagabond studio's didn't settle the bill I decided to drop it, but as my eldest son Gary has just released his first book I've done a u-turn, now needless to say that been my son I'm not charging him, but did insist that as part of the deal N&D studio's would get the film rights :)

Anyway there's a link below to where you can find the book it's only a couple of euro's & to sweeten the deal I'll offer a two of the price of one on tickets to the next N&D movie, can't do any fairer then that, plus if it take off for him we might end up with a better script writer around here.

I can't go without saying how happy we all are at the success of Phantom Jungle & the debut performance of Mr T-Rex,  as the last of the studio's budget was blown in making it & a flop would have seen the studio's go belly up.

So with that in mind I've decided to give the go ahead on a 4 reel movie starring Chip Spud & Tasha Stripov in Secret of Corpse Diamond Temple, this will be their biggest roles yet, now I'll let you guys in on a little secret, I had Brad & Angeline on begging me to give them the parts but I thought no these guys deserve the time in the limelight.

Anyway Chip has gotten a new-look & gone is the beard, you guys might remember he had to shave it off to dress as a woman his last movie so its stayed gone, Tasha is still just looking fabulous as you would imagine, & they both now have proper stats as would be befitting of stars :)

Leading Male Chip Spud P.I  Abilities, Fast +3 when running, TOB -1 for wounds against him for first 2 rounds.

Stats Fists  Gats  Guts  Stunts  Smarts  Hits
           5       4        5         4          5         6
Two interrupts per scene
.45 Pistol, Torch

Leading Female Tasha Stripvo Abilities Drunk at the beginning of each scene roll 1D6 1-4 -1 to gats stunts & smarts, 5-6 +1 to guts.

Stats Fists  Gats  Guts  Stunts  Smarts  Hits            3       4        4        5           4         5

For Phantom Jungle I keep things fairly simple & stayed away from things like abilities or interrupts rules not so for this next one as I intend to go full throttle plus I want to turn the pulp dial up a few notches :) 

Well that's it for this months news, so its a Goodnight from me & a Goodnight from him.
As always my thanks for dropping in & if you'd care to leave a comment it would be welcomed :)
