New Traveling Drake. Drake on Drake.

[Hahnarama]

EDIT by funrun: Show us where your Drake has traveled! For those not familiar with the concept of "Traveling Drake":

NEW RULES with the release of SotM all new photos, as of 8/28/07, must have some "Drake on Drake" action.

1. Take Sgt. Drakes and a camera with you wherever you go.
2. Snap Drakes' photo, preferably in front of some scenic or recognizable landmark, but even in your office could be interesting. . . see page 4.
3. Post Drake's photo and caption here.

Note that a Traveling Drakes doesn't necessarily have to be a Vacationing Drakes. Members here live all over the world—it would be cool to see Drake in the cities where we live, which for others would be like going on vacation!


Original Post by Hahn:
Well just an update on Drake. He fits great in a carry on, but when it comes to being photogenic well....

A HS figure is not going to show up in a picture. I think one of our artist here will need to create a Drake ala "Flat Stanley"

Anyone care to volunteer?[/b]

Why not use a macro lens, or simply a better camera angle? It's easy to photgraph small toys if you get the right angle. Trying to put yourself and Drake into the photo is where you might hit trouble.

I'm leaving for Guatemala Tuesday. I'm make sure Drake has a splendid time!

I took some great close ups last year @ GenCon with the same camera. The closeups were great but when using the Macro the background is out of focus. Who is to say if I took a pis of Drake in my backyard or Central Park. You can't tell.

Hahnarama have the new expansion packs showed up at your wallmart? im gonna have some people in Indianapolis tomorrow let me know thanks.

[Hahnarama]

(Side tangent)

To be honest I haven't been on the "hunt" for these. I was @ my Wally World last weekend and I the shelf was full of Orms and RTTFF. I am afraid that WW is using the same SKU# for the new packs so they will not replenish until those are gone. Come to think of it I haven't heard of ANYONE finding these in stores yet. Kind of odd don't you think?

(Now back to the Drake Thread :P )

[RobWeaver]

Drake did indeed have a splendid time in Guatemala. He climbed temples in Tikal, spent a week by the pool in Guatemala city and went for a horseback ride in the jungle at Antigua. In fact, he has the wear marks on his rear to verify it! There are photos, however, he really isn't very photogenic, as previously noted. Where he's clear, the background is blurry; where the background's good, he's tiny. Oh, well. He had fun anyway, and while we were there, we picked up a little Heroscaper to bring home to the US.

[markwars]

:lol:

[K/H_Addict]

i'm going to niagara falls this summer (idk when, though)...do i get to bring him with me? can i send him over the falls in a barrel?

[Revdyer]

... and while we were there, we picked up a little Heroscaper to bring home to the US.

It would seem that congratulations are much in order: Congrats!

I got tired of waiting for pictures of this mythical Traveling Drake, so I decided to do my own. Any time I go somewhere worth taking a picture of, I'll try to remember to bring my spare Drake. Here he is from our mountain cabin in the Sierra foothills.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Hahn, so is that acceptable? Anyone posting their own Drake at ceratain locale? Or do you just want the one, flat Drake, shared by all, in photos?

[Hahnarama]

No that is fine.

I had issues with mine. Most of the ones I took in Central Park or outside the Dakota were to hard to see. I did get a few good one's at the Top of Rock.

[LilNewbie]

Great pics, HEH! I should have brought him on my camping trip last week. I'll make sure he goes on the family reunion trip and gencon...

:D

Should Drake go to a Civil War reenactment, or would it be more appropriate to substitute one of the 4th Mass?

Drake's looking forward to going cross-continent this weekend to go to San Francisco. Maybe the AE will jump out of the plane...

Haha, try that and your flight will end real quick!

I went to the Boundary Waters this summer, but forgot Drake :( So I'll have to remember to bring him on my next trip--might do some traveling for Christmas. We'll see.

Great idea to start this tradition. If only there were more pictures :)

Shame on you Truth. Drake would NEVER visit France.

[Nooblar]

Actually, he's not visiting--that's him kicking Hitler's butt (and saving the French) in 1945 ;)

[MegadeV]

Sgt. Drake was in Seattle in August. He intended to use his grapple gun to get to the top of the Space Needle. That would be the best vantage point in town to spot Utgar scum, after all. However, he underestimated the height of the Space Needle (it's WAY more than 25 levels up) and had to dish out the 14 bucks to ride the elevator like everybody else.

I love this idea of traveling Drake. I have been a lot of places this year that Drake would have looked excellent in. Keep the photos coming!

[robaula]

Well then, tomorrow is officially going to be "take Drake to work day" in my town of High Wycombe... photos will appear soon after ;-)

[Teamski]

Does this count? Drake was in the box when I got it as part of a care package from the kind folks at Hasbro last year!

I say we make this week "International Bring Drake to Work Week!"

Last night we went to a Jack-O-Lantern festival in Pawtucket, RI.

Here's Drake with one of the pumpkins:
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i255/jimmcm/Travelling%20Drake/PICT0078.jpg

Unfortunately it was too dark to get a good picture of Drake with the whole field of pumpkins.

And we did drive right by the Pawtucket offices of Hasbro, but the camera batteries had run out by then. :( Drake so wanted to stop and see some of his reletives and friends.

Jim

[funrun]

I took my enhanced detail custom painted Drake (http://heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=2391&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) to work today, stood him proudly on my space bar, and got his pic looking at the scapers page while my marro mug looks at him from my desk. :razz: I have to wait till I get home to post the photo tho.

I liked most of that artistic flair and humor that went into those designs....

I really liked the mug - I just wished the punchline had been the alternate one that was suggested immediately after the mug design got posted (I forget what it was.... but it seemed a funnier strip when tweaked).

[Codeman]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I feel bad about it but hey, at least now we have a way to get a HS shirt that is LEGAL, Thank God for GenCon, :D

True. I had actually planned to tweak the strip, and even design others in the same single comic panel style, but with other characters. However, those ideas got shut down when .NET got shut down.

Srry, I'm just excited about next August...
So does this mean you're going next year?

[reapersaurus]

Your design work is excellent, h3x.
Could you do more?

I'd love to see more of your work.

Yup! I couldn't go last year due to work, but the company hired another artist (finally) and I already requested it off.

If they say "Hey we need you here" again in 2007, I'll tell them what to do with their job and go work for someone else....that is, after GenCon, :D


I shouldn't be that hard for me to find another job, I've got 6 years of XP.

[hextr1p]

Could you do more?
I hope to eventually do more for 'Scapers. But right now, other projects are taking up my time.

Nothing great, but it's interesting to look back on things to see the progression of my style... or something like that...

Could you do more?
I hope to eventually do more for 'Scapers. But right now, other projects are taking up my time.

Hmm - hadnt thought anything about that... When I say famous, I dont just mean Craig or Rob, etc etc - I mean Hollywood type of famous. I reckon that would be an impossible task!

For example:

"Wow! Its Brad Pitt! Excuse me, Mr Pitt, can I take your photo? Could you hold this little army man for me please?"

or

"Hey! Its Pamela Anderson! Can I get your picture? Can I just put this little army man imbetween here...." ***SLAP*** "Ow.... my face hurts.." :-(

Rob, GREAT propostion!
Schmoozing Drake!

He didn't travel too far but, here's a couple of pictures for some of you city slickers from my girlfriends farm.

Here's a tough assignment for Travelling Drake - I bet no-one can get his picture taken with someone famous :)

Well, if my camera didn't work as poorly as it does in lower light situations with no tripod, you would see Drake (you actually can see him if you know he's there...) in the bottom of this picture:

Drake is preparing himself to come travelling with me again on Monday... braving the perils of The Floor at my place of work... a truly deadly environment...

[Dragonslayer]

Awesome! Can't wait!

[robaula]

Awesome! Can't wait!

He will brave the climb up the Photocopier of Doom... the dizzy heights of the DVD Shelves of No Return... come face to face with Lost Property Cat... and maybe a few other exciting bits and pieces too, as he travels round my workplace....

[Rÿchean]

Drake in my work place:

Looks somewhat familiar to previous posts, doesn't it?

Must be that awesome mug!!!

[funrun]

LOL Ry that looks just like my desk!

This Thanksgiving I will have to remember to take Drake with me as I make a road trip to and from Cincinnati and Oklaholma City. Most of the trip will be in the dark, but I am sure Drake can find himself a few good locales. The Oklaholma City Bombing memorial might even bring a tear to his patriotic eyes!

[TyG17]

Ry I think you need a new comp... that one looks a little old

When the corns grows up again i will get drake lost in a cornfield and take a pic of him there

[funrun]

If you are traveling this holiday, don't forget to take Drake and your camera!

[markwars]

I am bringing Drake with my family to Park City, Utah for skiing at Christmas. I'll be sure to take pictures. :)

[MegadeV]

What an idiot I am. I just got back from a trip to California this weekend. Not only could I have had pictures of Drake in Disneyland, The Staples Center, the HP Pavillion in San Jose, the Winchester House, and the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. I could have probably got a picture of Drake with Peter Forsberg of the Philadelphia Flyers (I did get my jersey signed though :D ). D'oh!

[hextr1p]

An old photo I found of Drake and Santa... circa 1952.

Sorry about the quality, but I had to scan the image...

Ok... Drake went to work with me, and didnt come back :evil: - or, at least, he didnt come back with me :evil: He actually travelled home with some evil git who kidnapped him against his will :evil:

Not a very pleasing outing, didnt even get a chance to get any photos...

Drake #2 is ready to start travelling with me, and this one will stay attached to me by my special anti-theft Drake leash.

[auralerogeny]

Some kid stole Sgt. Drake? Now that's messed up...unless the kid decides to start playing HS now, then that would be a cool outcome. I'd trade an extra Drake for someone to play with...

No snow at our cabin, but a few thousand feet change in elevation (the drive up to the snowpark) made all the difference in the world. It snowed the whole time we played. Great for building snowmen, using the snowball maker, and snow/sand brick maker!

Even better, we didn't need to put on chains.

Drake and Golden Gate Bridge!!!
I love coming here. It's frickin' awesome and the weather today was perfect for a walk across. My wife wanted to trip around Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park all day. Luckily the playground we had plans to spend time at was down for renovations. I quickly got us back to the van to head over to the bridge. Just as we got there, my in-laws' cruise ship was passing under the bridge! What timing!

Nah. We live about an hour SouthEast of S.F.
We were there dropping off relatives for a cruise, so we made a day of it sightseeing with the kids. Couldn't've asked for better weather.

Oh. Lucky you. I wish I lived that close to there.

Srgt Drake made his way to George's Pizza in Austin, MN March 24, 2007 to participate in the Heroscape Tourney, but backed out when he seen the level of competition that was there. So he hid out in a plastic container trying to roll a 13 or higher for backup :lol: .

Ahhhh I love this thread, but we need more photos! I updated the first post of this thread with the following. I think the last line is most important. I hope this gets us seeing more Traveling Drakes soon. . . I even stirred myself to think of a few places take Drake near me :).


EDIT by funrun: Show us where your Drake has traveled! For those not familiar with the concept of "Traveling Drake":

1. Take Sgt. Drake and a camera with you wherever you go.
2. Snap Drake's photo, preferably in front of some scenic or recognizable landmark, but even in your office could be interesting. . . see page 4.
3. Post Drake's photo and caption here.

Note that a Traveling Drake doesn't necessarily have to be a Vacationing Drake. Members here live all over the world—it would be cool to see Drake in the cities where we live, which for others would be like going on vacation!

HEH, Drake with the Golden Gate Bridge and flag is awesome. That's definitely my favorite pic so far.

You seem a pro at getting good shots. I think I took about 50 or more and only had 1 that was even decent. Then I ran back outside, took 20 more and still nothing. Ha!

Tru dat. I love that picture.

I'm taking Drake to the Ball game, taking Drake out to the crowds, this Monday. I'm not buying him either popcorn or Crackerjack.
He is, of course, able to sip off any of my numerous Sunset Wheats. :wink:

Sgt Drake apparently has turn in his Jeep, Humvee, and Blackhawk for the army’s most dependable carrier – FPT ( Four Paw Transportation ). The dog that is in the photo does have ties to the 101st Airborne; His master brings him up to us from From Campbell ,KY for us to dog sit while he is deployed.

[j-Bird]

No exotic locations here, but I thought I might rep my home town a little by giving Sgt. Drake a tour of Tyler, TX. First stop, Bergfeld Park.

Spot Drake?
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p198/grubbyknubbkins/DSC01246.jpg

This city park sits in the heart of the "Azalea District", an area of historic homes and brick streets. Nearly every home's yard in this area is planted with azalea bushes and dogwood trees which bloom this time of year. This is a BIG tourist draw for the city. Here is pics of two homes across the street from the park. (No Drake).

Drake at the park fountain. Notice the hex's in the back. :wink:
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p198/grubbyknubbkins/DSC01267.jpg
The fountain is hex shaped as well. I hold fond memories as a child playing in the fountain during the summer. The fountain was dry for nearly twenty years, but flows again. I had to shoot this photo between the waves of kids playing in the water.

Next stop, the University of Texas at Tyler, my Alma Mater.

I love these photos! Drake on a dog. . . Drake in hex shaped fountains. The last set was perfect—got some Drake in iconic places, scenic places, and hiding places. I found him in all the photos, but it was tough! I like the challenge. The flowers are gorgeous too, seems like a very quaint town.

[TheRealQ]

Nice pics all around but j-Bird's makes me nostalgic. I used to through a paper route in the Azalea District many years ago. The white house go the paper, the yellow one didn't. It would have been nifty to have had Drake scaling the fence at the Mansiel Mansion (spelling?). Hopefully I can make it out to see the azaleas this year. If so maybe I can drop by Caldwell Zoo and get some Drake pics there.

[Menchy]

Darn, I was just up at Killington (largest skiing mountain on the east coast) and I could have gotten great pictures of him. I can just imagine, Drake on the lift, drake on a snowboard, drake at my skiing/lakehouse. Oh well, I can get some great pictures of him on a boat this summer. And I'm also thinking Drake plotting his conquest of the new jersey suburbs. Oh I can't wait.

I'm backpacking it so I'm not sure if I want to devote the space to an entire roman army with Drake in it but it would be a great pic.

I think Drake exceeded his 25 hex climb limit to get up here... can you spot him?


Actually if you read really close to his card its actually 30. It says 25 levels MORE. which means 25 levels higher than his origenal hight. I got board in school and was reading my cards, I notice that kinda thing.

Sapper, the Alaskan Pipeline is too cool! The pipe itself doesn't even seem that big around. So how far from your home were you in the pics? 150 mi to the Arctic Circle doesn't seem very far. . . a 2 hr drive? :shock: Is North Pole, AK where all the USPS mail addressed to "Santa" goes? Do they have a Santa's workshop tourist thing there?

Awesome photoshop work on the Thalenk sign!

Great photoshop and Sgt. Drake pic!!!

But Alaska seems too cold to me lol, I'll stick with the florida beaches. ;)

[Sapper]

First of all, great job on the photoshop Jim!! It looks authentic. :thumbsup:

Funrun:
The pipeline is about 5 miles form where I live, but it runs from Prudhoe Bay all the way to Valdez.

The Sapper family is going to take a trip to the Arctic Circle sometime in the near future and yes Drake will be there with us. I am sure it will be a first for him.

As far as all the mail going to North Pole, I am not sure, but the whole town has a Christmas theme to it. Street names like Santa Claus Lane, candy cane street lights, etc.

Noodles:
Being form FL myself, I agree that it is cold but you do get used to it. People are running around wearing shorts and t-shirts and it is between 30 and 40 right now. And just think a week ago it was -10 to -20.

Today was the first really perfect spring day we've had, 78 and not a cloud in the blue skies, so I took Drake with me on a roadtrip through southeastern Ohio.

In the green space at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, Drake stakes out a spot from which to observe the bikini-clad sunbathing sorority girls. (Sorry, I put so much focus on Drake that you can't see the bikini girls laying in the grass under the white monument :P.)
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/normal_bikinis.jpg

Here's the scoop on what makes Ohio University extra special. And I wasn't joking about the bikini girls. . . I just noticed there's one visible in this photo :).
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/OU_historicalMarker.jpg

Drake surveys the river that runs through beautiful Yocatangee Park in historic Chillicothe, Ohio. Luckily, the pink flowering trees were all still in bloom.
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/normal_park_Drake.jpg

The park was so expansive and picture-perfect that I spotted three bridal parties wandering around with their photographers. What a picturesque fairy-tale bridge this is!
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/normal_bridal.jpg

Drake also surveyed the historic buildings of downtown Chillicothe.
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/normal_downtown_Drake.jpg

Not too far from Chillicothe, Drake reads about the 2000-yr. old Seip Indian Burial Mounds (largest one seen in background) and about Hopewell Indian houses (support pole diagram of house is right illustration, some reconstructed cut poles where the house stood can be seen in the untended grass oval area behind the sign.)
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/SeipMound_marker.jpg

Drake says "I don't follow signs" as he sits atop a low-level mound to get a better view of the larger Indian burial mound in the background.
http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10083/Earthworks.jpg

Leaving the Seip Mound information building, I tried to put Drake guarding my car for some of these photos, but those ones didn't turn out quite as sweet as this one, so I had to post this one instead :D. (No Photoshop was used in the making of this photo, except license plate ;).)

I never thought of my photo as Drake crashing a wedding photo, but yeah, he did :). Some have said he would make an excellent wedding cake topper with Raelin by his side :lol:.

[Hendal]

I have always carried a MM with me, he has been all over the place ( costa Rica, Panama, el Salvador, Guatamala, Aruba, about 14 states in the US, and a few other places - but in a lot of tourist and historical places ).

I take picture with him in about half the place, if I ever figure out how to post some pictures maybe I will, next time I will take Drake along with my travleling MM.

all the pictures are great.

My traveling “Drake” is a real drake!

Here we are the day before yesterday at Yellowstone National Park.

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o309/zeekhotep/picsoffigs001.jpg

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o309/zeekhotep/picsoffigs003.jpg

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o309/zeekhotep/picsoffigs005.jpg

I would have posted these yesterday, but the signal my wireless card was picking up where I stopped was so slow that I just gave up on it. Come to think about it, it is pretty bad all over the west, but talk about bad, try even getting signal for a cell call out of Yellowstone!

I tell ya! What good is all that pristine wilderness if you can’t call out and tell someone about it? I don’t think there was a cell tower within thirty miles of the place!

And just try and find a place to turn a seventy foot long semi around. Ha! It ain’t gonna happen!

More cell towers and pavement are not the only things that Yellowstone could use though. Yellowstone has almost all of the official types of Herpscape terrain. There are mountain with snow and ice, rock, sand, grass, pine trees, roads, and bridges! Heck there are even volcanic calderas, and “volcanically” heated hot springs that are said to have therapeutic properties (well springs.) The only official types of terrain that might be missing are ruins and a castle. Mimring felt right at home.

So if someone is planning a “Live action roll playing” version of Heroscape, I think Yellowstone is the place to hold it!

Now you have my assessment of Yellowstone. It needs cell towers, (one per mountain peak should do it) more pavement for large vehicle traffic, some ruins, and at least one castle.

I offered Truth $5 to go stand next to the bear he said "No" Knowing every boy has his price said $10 and a spare Dund. Well both the Drake and Truth are now MIA.

Sorry, Drake was AWOL at Jazz Fest so I didn't get any photos there. He was also nowhere to be seen when one of my buddies almost got shot in an attempted mugging two blocks from Harrahs. Never a hero around when you need one...

Glad to see you've got the smaller photos working now snikt-bamf :).

And I can't believe that sandwich in the Philippines is a normal KFC item!

[Elstree]

Man, I lived four years in New Orleans during college. Those photos bring back memories. I loved that city like I've loved no other. I don't mean I loved living there--I mean I really loved the city. I still do, though I hear since the huricane it's not quite the same place it used to be. It breaks my heart to think about it.

[snikt-bamf]

I hope the photos brought a mix of good and not just meloncholy memories, elstree. I've taken several trips to the Big Easy, including waaaay before Katrina, coincidentally just prior to Katrina, not too long after Katrina, and just recently with a bit of time for reconstruction under its belt, where I stayed at the apartment of a friend who goes to Tulane. She shared my opinion that New Orleans is a very special and unforgettable city that has always been an uneasy mix of culture, music, and history alongside an undercurrent of violence and misfortune that shaped it just as much as its steadfast populace did.

Sgt. Drake accompanied us on our annual trip to Waterton Park in Alberta. Waterton Park is along the Alberta - Montana border and connects to Glacier park in Montana. Together the two parks are called the "International Peace Park". It is a wonderful place and is relatively quiet with not near as many tourists as other parks. We have done a lot of camping, hiking, and biking in the region over the years. With all of the travelling I have done, this remains one of my favourite spots. It is about an eight hour drive from where I live. Most times I am meeting my sibling(s) for a family gathering and a celebration of one of the truly wondrous spots on our planet. All of these pictures are taken from a place called the bear's hump. It is a short hike but it is very steep. It has a great view of the surrounding town, camp area, and the famous Prince of Wales Hotel.

Picture One: WindBlown Drake This is a very windy place and Drake can be seen at the left edge of the picture about a fifth of the way up. A gust caught him just as I set up the picture. Thank goodness he did not fall all the way down, that would have been a two attack dice roll :) The town of Waterton along with the camping sites can be seen as well as Waterton Lake. Looking down the lake you see the USA part of the park as the International border bisects the lake.

Sgt. Drake accompanied us on our annual trip to Waterton Park in Alberta. Waterton Park is along the Alberta - Montana border and connects to Glacier park in Montana.
Bixby, back in 2002, I was fortunate enough to spend a week in Glacier Natl. Park with my family. Quite an amazing place.
I made an 11-mile hike to visit Grinnell Glacier.
Saw some Grizzly bears too. Thanks to the bears' presence in the park, it was the absolute most tense-filled hiking I've ever done - especially while carrying a 2-year old on my back!

It appears Waterton Park is just as fantastic.

Great pictures. I'd love to get back to Montana and Glacier someday and hopefully make my way to Waterton.
