Driscoles - The collection is mine. The buildings are by TM Terrain, The dockside is my own work as are most of the figures.

Dominic - You are most welcome to play, look me up when you next visit London :)

Awesome job Malamute.  Can I ask how much those custom buildings put you back?  And the cobblestone effect- how did you create that?

Many thanks

Very, very nicely done, Malamute. In addition to the wonderful terrain, you have a great selection of figures--I think I recognized four or five different manufacturers there.

Congratulations on being featured in such a way!

Hi Tarvelling man, Take a deep breath, the buildings varied from £150 - £35O for the very large pieces.
The dockside I made using foam core as the base material and simply glued on plasticard sections of cobblestone and irregular stonework with balsawood buttresses.
The cobbled streets are made from wallpaper. The cheap woodchip stuff paints up really well as cobblestones. I am probably going to do some more with a grey/brown finish instead of the red/brown colour. I think it will compliment the buildings more.
Cheers Pete, Yes there is a real mish mash of different manufacturers figures and lots of conversions too :)

Very nice collection Malamute. I'd like to read some game reports from your Victorian setting (with photos of course)  :)
