Little House on the Table


Paints, wood-stain and scenic scatter later.... the cottage is looking a tad more rustic and less like something made from foamcore.

I started on the roof  as well (see last photo). Once you scroll past all my cottage-in-the-making snaps you'll find photos of the great Harryhausen and his work.

Miniature set pieces aside, I'd like to take a moment to remember a very inspirational man - Ray Harryhausen who died on Tuesday.

Here are some quotes by others who have influenced me - they say it better than I could.

"What we do now digitally with computers, Ray did digitally long before but without computers. Only with his digits." - Terry Gilliam

"Without Ray Harryhausen, there would likely have been no Star Wars" - George Lucas

(He was) "a one-man industry and a one-man genre" - Peter Lord (Aardman)

"I think all of us who are practitioners in the arts of science fiction and fantasy movies now all feel that we’re standing on the shoulders of a giant. If not for Ray's contribution to the collective dreamscape, we wouldn't be who we are." - James Cameron
