Spaghetti Westerns
Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Monday, November 16, 2009
One of the other types of historical games that I do is the Wild West and the Plains Wars. When I am painting I have relevant movies playing in the background. Today, I was watching a bunch of old Leone Spaghetti Westerns. As I am watching this I got to thinking that why hasn't Tarentino done a Spaghetti Western? I would hear something and think that is something Tarentino would write. I would see a scene and think that is how he would do it. Needless to say you can see a lot of his influences in the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns. Well, enough of the Tarentino worship and onto the other stuff.
So, as I was writing earlier this week, I seem to been taking on more and more projects and acquiring more and more crap. When I was watching "For a Few Dollars More" I found that I rather liked the village where VanCleef and Eastwood have their final show down with Indio and his gang. I was looking at the village and it appeared to be mostly adobe. I have to say that doing this project is very tempting but it is like my other projects: I have to figure out where to store it when I am not using it. In addition to that it doesn't hold the same interest to me as my WW2 and Greek Projects do. I guess that for the time being I will have to put this one on hold until we get the giant sized house or some other option presents itself.
