Back from Melbourne all fired up

00 I went to Melbourne on Saturday to have a meeting with a great bunch of guys in an old pub in Abbortsford. The pub was where they used to film scenes from The Sullivans, a very popular soap set during the Second World War – very nice inside and decent food. We sat and […]

I need new eyes.

00 Trying to model in 10mm is almost beyond the capacity of my pathetic and aging eyesight. Doing the stonework on the Kamarg tower is proving to be a lot more fiddly than I thought it would be and I’ve had to resort to using magnifying lenses so I can see the detail properly. But […]

Kamarg prepares for war

00 I’ve started construction of the tower base now. It’s a 10mm scale model and this is the first time I’ve attempted anything that small before, so it’s going to be an interesting challenge. A friend of mine suggested it’s best not to try not to add too much detail, so I’ll keep that in […]

If you are at all interested in terrain making and want to see some high quality work, go and visit his website ‘Shifting Lands’ ! I was inspired to try a technique that Geboom has mastered with […]

Promises kept

00 A while ago I promised my youngest son that I would make him a gaming table for use with his Lord of the Rings figures. So, now that Jurassic Reich is packed away and the shed is cleaned up again, it was time to fulfil my promise and start work on this little project. […]

Bag End Build Off

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 […]

London Calling…

00 I have been asked to post some pictures of the game table I did for the 2008 Little Wars convention in Melbourne. It was for the first official outing of Pax Limpopo (a very neat set of rules for Victorian Wargaming by Greg Hallam, set in one of the funniest ‘alternate’ visions of the […]
