Very nice.  Just what you need to put an Cthulhu investigator party in it's place.

The last of the Zingara donations, 'Tentacles'

Alien ambassador?  Evil Warlord?  Innocent Civilian? Your Pilot? Pet?  I haven't decided.

Good work.
I have (or had) one of those, somewhere in the unpainted lead pile, but I could never make head nor tail of what was supposed to be what, so I never tried painting it.

I painted it, THEN realized I could never make head nor tail of what it was supposed to be.  lol lol lol

I have a similar approach to sci-fi terrain. Build it then work out what it is/does. :D

Back to a bit of scenery.
On the (long) list of upcoming projects is WW2 North Africa in 15mm.
My existing buildings are IMHO showing their age, so here is a test piece.
I might build more & then sell of the old 'stock'.

Some of my AK47 forces for scale. Nothing finished in 15mm WW2 yet.

Don't forget the 'interesting' beasties were from you.
Can you remember what they were sold as, & who makes them?

Finished off a half timbered building which I purchased from e-bay.
It needed a minimum of repair, but a complete repaint.

Hopefully it will see a lot of action:-
ECW, Jacobite, Pirates etc.

It came in two main parts & was cast in resin, i.e. not printed.
I have never seen it before. Apart from the low price, the 'turret'
interested me.
Maybe the collective LAF brain  knows the answer.

looks a bit like the PMC 'battlefield buildings' that Caliver Books sell now - but I haven't seen one in their list that mentions a turret like that.

anyhow- particularly nice work on its windows.

Thank you. That close up I realize my hand was not as steady as it should have been
when doing the black leading. It passes muster across the table though.

Some fine work recently Pete. Were the North Africa buildings carved out of foam?
