00 No, not my old website – a role playing game set in Middle-earth during the latter years of the Third Age. The 1st edition of the game came out around 2010 and I completely missed the boat. While I saw it on the shelves of my FLGS, I figured I’d never find anyone to […]
00 It’s early days yet, but I’ve started work on my most ambitious terrain piece yet. If I finish this, it will be a miracle. Rivendell, in all it’s 28mm scale glory! I am doing this because I know that not many people in the past have attempted it and even fewer have done it […]
00 The stairs shown in the previous post need to sit raised above the level of the river as it cascades down the mountain side. In order to do this I have cut a base out of some 25mm styrofoam and clamped it to an MDF base. I base everything with wood these days, as […]
00 Belegost, Gabilgathol in the Dwarvish tongue, the name means “Great Fortress.” The city was one of two founded in the First Age in the eastern side of the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains). At the height of the War of Wrath, the land of Beleriand was rent asunder and the sea consumed all that lay […]
00 My good friends at the Group North Historical Wargaming Society are celebrating their 40th anniversary this October and are putting on an extra special Open Day to commemorate the occasion. http://www.groupnorth.biz One of the oldest wargaming clubs in Australia, possibly the oldest, Group North have been a fixture in this state for as long […]

I plan on making a small village to use with either Anglo-Saxons or Rohirrim, consisting of a number of thatched houses, a stable, an armoury and a long hall. Looking at historical recreations […]
00 My website (the One Ring) runs a monthly painting challenge and I thought it would be a good idea to join in for a change! This month, the challenge is to paint Lurtz – the Uruk Hai chieftain that Aragorn fights at the end of the Fellowship of the Ring movie. I’ve had this […]
00 For many years, I have been meaning to build a hilltop for my model of Weathertop, but just never got around to it. Like most projects of mine, they remain almost finished yet abandoned, for many years. So I found enough 75mm high density styrofoam to build a decent sized hill and set about […]
00 Firstly, welcome to our latest follower Gerard Boom (Geboom), it’s a privilege to have you here Gerard! 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 […]
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. […]
