Hey Ant I am going to the Napoli vs Rome game Jan 6.
. Italian football fans are nuts every time a British club goes over there on a European night there's trouble..
Thats the Kolkata Derby played between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. Mohun Bagan are one of the oldest football clubs in the world and East Bengal too are quite old established by the refugees who lost everything during the partition of Bengal in the Biritish Colonial times. (Im an East Bengal supporter by birth - because my paternal grandparents were refugeesSounds like quite an intense rivalry Axe is that a local Indian derby? How's the standard of football over there? My local derby is pretty intense but it doesn't look like we'll be getting one for awhile
- my mom though is Mohun Bagan as she was born on this side of Bengal) So its almost a partisan atmosphere like say the El Clasico of Catalonia (Barca) vs Mainland Spain (Real Madrid) kind of tension, except the crowd bays for each others blood. (and my family becomes divided too )

Both teams share the same stadium for their home matches pretty much like Milan and Inter do with San Siro so it makes tensions even worse.
Plus our football Stadium is the second largest in terms of capacity in the world somewhere along 120000 people can fit in. (When Argentina captained by Messi played a friendly match versus Venezuela here I think the crowd swelled close to 150000 including those who entered illegally.I bet you didnt know that the worlds second largest football stadium was in India
Anyway football is popular in certain regions of our country only as cricket is the predominantly popular sport. That is why our quality is not even close to the European or South American games. We did famously qualify for the WC once in the mid 60s or so but since all out players played barefoot the team was barred to compete.
Yeah, I know about the Celtic/Rangers thing... damn shame Rangers were demoted to the lower divisions. The Scottish league must have become a one horse race now. I know how the Irish love the game... Irish fans are some of the best in the world as Ive seen them in the Euros, World Cups and the Champions League ones!
But here... a Derby day means the city is tense and riot police are out in numbers.
. I believe we are one of the oldest clubs in the UK founded in 1872.
That will be awesome good to see an American enjoying a real game of football

I have Latin American Blood. You know the same guys you import into your country to star for your teams?
I was detined to play Pro Soccer. Captain of my Soccer team in Highschool and ranked number 1 in the Nation before getting knocked out in the Semis of the State Championship.
I was going to move to Costa Rica to play for their pro league, but decided to join the Army instead after one of my buddies tried out for the Columbus Crew and had his leg broken in three; the first week of practice.
I still go out from time to time and play with the locals. Some italians get their feelings hurt when they find out this American can actually play
Wanted to learn a skill I can continue doing even after my body failed me
. 
pretty sure pretty will appreciate this
At that scale, not possible. Specially because of keeping the details intact. Metal guns done at that scale lose a lot of detail in terms of finishing and are highly uneconomical. One of the reasons HT/EB avoid making small 1/6 scale detailed accessories in metal. 1/4 is still a viable scale to make metal accessories, specially without losing on the finishing.
There are no moving parts in the sculpt... it has been sculpted as one straight piece. Denny told me they are working on a painted sample of the gun, Im sure we will all be able to see the difference once he releases pics. It will become much clearer to both me and you what Iminime managed to do with a really excellent sculpt - because at this moment it is quite impossible for me to judge what will be used to separate it from other offerings...
