Not your usual miniatures....

This is an unusual project, it's a 1/12 scale model of a basement that will eventually form part of a house.
This should really be Jackie's project but she has had it 12 months now and it's still in the box.
So I thought I would start it and see if that generated the right interest :o). It has she is very excited now.

The material is MDF so once primed I used B&Q Warm Blue instead of the eggshell blue it advised, I think it is a much richer blue in my opinion. The doors and windows will be white. It has had 2-3 coats of blue and once together I will spray varnish it with Games Worskshop matt Varnish. So still away to go but I will keep you informed.

War of the Ring Rule Book

I received this a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to see what it was all about. Usually I don't game these figures just paint them but I thought I would have a go and see what it was all about.

problme is now - what army? I have the beginnings of a couple, Mordor, Rohan and Gondor.

Initial thoughts are it looks good but could be very expensive buying all the figures.
