The skull alter is oop already? Seems like only yesterday I bought one for me son ... and I was planning to get another at some point. Hmmm maybe not now!

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

The blimp is 1/48???!  Sweet!

Cool yer jets Gary...

Glencoe lists this as "1/330", so BOX scale...

Not that I don't want one mind ya.

Thanks to Wikipedia

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 above the table.

Still want one o'dem dar blimp kits fer meownself...

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