00 My workbench is completely covered in mould(s)! As a way of reducing the repetition and speeding up the building process for my Jurassic Reich and Incursion projects, I have made a number of master models and created moulds, so that I can repeatedly cast as many copies as I need. In particular, I made […]
00 It’s a rare thing to see a painted mini in my collection, and even rarer for it to be shown to the public! But I was so proud of this – well, the idea more than the actual paint job.
00 This has a darker edge to it than the others…
00 The castle has come a long way since May and my enthusiasm is still raging at full strength (which is weird for me since I get bored quickly on large projects). I’ve not felt this excited about a model since I made my own Weathertop a few years ago. But I realise that I […]
00 You’re probably sick of seeing the same old gatehouse façade time and time again. Well, this’ll be the last time until I put the roof on ok? The curtain wall to the left of the gatehouse is coming along nicely. I’ve clad the stonework on a couple of sections and started doing the battlements […]
00 Have been hard at work on the castle each night this week and it’s starting to take shape now. I have cut out the walls for the Great Hall and glued the buttresses in place on the front. Also, I have been repeatedly casting a section of random stone wall I made a while […]
00 The castle gatehouse is coming along at a pleasing pace. As it progresses I am getting a clearer picture of how much effort is needed to build this table and, yes, once again I have bitten off much more than time will allow me to chew! So I’ve begun to set myself daily tasks […]
00 July is going to be the month I spend working on the castle gatehouse. I will alternate between the castle and other smaller terrain features for this game table, in order to keep the interest levels up (it’s so easy to get bored witha big project). The plan is to get the Gatehouse completed […]
00 A friend of mine (DurinsBane) and I are having a friendly competition to see who could build the best model of Bag End. It started off as a bit of meaningless rivalry between two friends and a good pace was set with regular updates on the One Ring website (click here). Unfortunately, the updates […]
00 Work on the barracks is progressing at quite a pace! I am being unusally productive – normally I take ages to build anything, but this one seems to be taking shape incredibly quickly. Here are a couple of shots of it nearing completion. I’ll post more shots when it’s finished too. The roof is […]
