What on earth is that nun from?
Not that I'm, uh, interested at all... this is purely an, uh, academic question. By which it is meant that there are rulers involved. ;D

I can see it's had an effect, as it's more a case of where, more then what... lol
I did a google on 'naked nun'...then after recovering, I typed 28mm naked nun mini..and then after recovering discoved she isn't listed. So where does she come from, at this time,..not sure. ;)

What length is the blimp? I can think of lots of uses for that :)

Not sure, will do a measurement when it arrives, next week. ;) In the mean time found this pic on the net, hope it helps. I plan on removing the under cabin part and having a basket attached underneath for above jungle adventures.. ;)

I have to admit I have the naked nun (http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=499) and several others from this manufacturer. The nun is from Ground Zero Games (http://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/index.php) and is part of their 'Gentlemen Collectibles' range. Scales vary a little bit in these ranges but before buying I e-mailed them and they were very helpful, replying straight away with details of size. They are nice miniatures.
Now scouring eBay for the water tower and the blimp. Stop spending my money!!!!!!!! ;)

Ah yes, Lord Snappy is the perfect "gentleman". ;)

That's the GW "Arcane Ruins" set - still in production, £18, actually a decent price for what you get!

It is a nice set, the tall spire refuses to stay glued to the base mind you but the fact it comes loose makes for easy storage! ;D

No need to be sorry sir! GW did make a "Temple of Skulls" set, which is now OOP. I seem to remember it was a temple... on a giant skull :D

Think small freighter ambling along ABOVE the waves...
Today's Goodyear blimps are some 20% shorter & narrower than the K class, the ones I used to get close to in the 60s 25% smaller yet, so this thing would be a monster on
Still want one o'dem dar blimp kits fer meownself...

I'm referring, in my case at least, to AIRSHIPS Only, YMMV

Always had an idea towards Nightgaunts hiding in the superstructure of a hydrogen blimp and preying on the people n the gondola!
