In case anyone is wondering...

It is not a good idea to drop a jar of black wash on a cream carpet. You have to buy more Nuln oil for a start...

Tower Guards Have a Break

This is Green Line's Medieval Tower in 1/72 from Fredericus Rex. The walls are plaster and the wood parts are balsa wood with a resin roof and some card elements. It was a fun and challenging build. You will probably spot a few places where I messed up but I will know better next time, if there is a next time!

In this scene we see the tower guards having a break and a wee drink. One of them feeds his dog, some doze and another calls on the young lad to hurry up with the ale he was sent to fetch.

The guards who are on duty look on and one keeps an eye on the donkeys loaded for travel at the gate.

Figures all from Valdemar.

They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!

We have seen the Uruk cavalry. Now for the infantry. 

Some familiar scenes from the movies, including the siege of Helm's Deep and the hobbit-napping.

All figures from the Dark Alliance half-orc sets.

The only ones I don't have are the pikes. If anyone fancies swapping a sprue let me know.

Hi Uruk Hai

Dark Alliance Half-Orc Warg Riders. I really like most of the sculpting and some of their infantry comrades are still to come.

Ice Wight

In the heart of the frozen mountain the cursed ice wight Lord waits, brooding on his vengeance for all eternity. 

A foolish band of adventurers disturb his brooding. Who will prevail?

The ice wight and friends from Caesar's undead. The adventurers a Caesar elf, and two Valdemar figs.

Lizard Persons

This time it is Caesar's Lizard Men who are taking the field, or the swamp or whatever.

Nice figures actually. I also have some alternate colour schemes, and blue is also nice.

The base here is a work in progress however.

Tank Tuesday

Don't worry, I'm not forgetting about the figures. But for a change of pace you might like to look at a tank on a Tuesday night.

First up: The Italeri '1/72 SD. KFZ. 161 PZ. KPFW. IV AUSF.F1/F2'

Catchy name. Actually one of those snap together wargaming models, two to a box. So no great modelling challenge but the painting is my favourite part anyway. I am doing the other as a DAK tank. Absolutely no claims to accuracy in colour schemes.
