Congrats GM. I have to say I was considering putting a killer bid in at the last second but I wouldn't do that to my fellow LAFers/BLAMers.
Don't!

The last second bid usually is what happens to me on ebay. I never get good deals. The next problem is actually getting the stuff delivered. Two out of three things I bought previously never arrived at all.
Hopefully I will have better luck this time.
Now back to work, planning on how to build Balmoral castle :D

Now back to work, planning on how to build Balmoral castle :D

A great idea. ;D

 I have often thought of a scenario involving a kidnap attempt on Vickie whilst she is staying at Balmoral, perhap out hunting in the highlands. Lots of potential for John Brown, shotguns, tartan and Harris tweed :D

I don't appreciate you reading my mind, Malamute. What goes on in there is private.  :-[

Ran a game a bit like that back in our Space 1889 days. Russian Anarchists up to no good I think it was. Possibly Fenians, I don't recall. Only they were trying to kill her, not kidnap her.

No pictures, though. Never could quite see the use of figures in Roleplaying games.

I have had a notion of a campaign based around an attempt to capture the queen at Balmoral. I had the idea of a few different games leading to the final one at the castle.
I managed to gather some pictures of the place



and also a map of the interior.



I did try to source a model as well but this was all I could find.

Hey Colin no problem with building that model. Jimbibbly will be able to knock that up between now and supper time ;)

Nice idea for the campaign, I have had very similar thoughts. The castle was the problem for me, so I was thinking of several games up in the Highlands, involving some crofts, lochs, trees, mountains etc.

Hey now you come to mention it, here's your game for BLAM :D

Where the fun in that ???
I want to do it myself :'(
I can sneak expensive figures into the house but I think her indoors would notice a large castle :(

The BLAM game is already sorted, I think. And building is underway (my young brother is keen)  with some trial bits. Will need to have some practice runs before we decide if our idea is going to work and before we let anybody else know our stupid idea.
