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

Many thanks

Congratulations on being featured in such a way!

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 :)

I can't take the praise for the buildings as they were made by the very talented guys at TM Terrain and what jolly decent chaps they are too. :) But mostly the figures are my own work.

I always want to write game reports and photograph them, but in the excitement and heat of the moment we always forget. :lol:
I have even set the camera up on a tripod at the start of a game and totally forgotten it within seconds!

And of course you are all most welcome to come and join in a game when you are next in London :)

This has just got to be the best combination of excellently painted figures and amazing scenery I have ever seen. I am green with envy. Is there any chance of some more piccies please?

Post by: Musketeer on August 21, 2007, 10:25:18 AM: Great work! I particularly like the buildings. They have that lovely grimy feel about them. :)

Yes, there will be more in next months magazine. :) I am waiting for my digital camera to be mended, when it is done and we set up our next game I will try and post a battle report with pictures.

Thanks for all the kind comments as well :)
