I like, I like. Not my thing, game wise, but the more stuff I see like this the harder it is to resist temptation to add even more lead to the mount!

great stuff - love the paint jobs.  The canal barge is a great scenic addition too.
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

Cracking figures, terrain and game :-*
Same question as someone asked on GWP where are the armed police from? Are they converted?

Some (in caps) are the IWI RIC from Musketeer whilst the others were converted from Anglian SCW Assaulto troops with Empress miniaturesZulu War British heads .

The beauty of this project has been that with heads from Gripping Beast and Empress also head swapping between figures the can be adapted with no issue. One of the beauties of Paul Hicks sculpting a lot of the figures across the ranges and Soapys separate head system. :D

If the royal Navy they are form Scale Creep in the USA whilts the merchant sailors are form the Brigade range ends of the earth I think, again in the USA.

Indeed!  Buying from the states cost far too much in postage these days...

Scale Creep? Are they a retailer? Because those figures look exactly like the Regiment Games RN landing party.

Unfortunately only from Scale Creep/Regiment games.

Poly is right in that they are Regiment games miniatures however up until recently he ceased trading I think because he was serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.

To be honest I have found in the main the postage to be cheaper from the US or alsmost as cheap as charges in the UK and certainly as competative with postage costs from Mainland Europe

I've had dealings to and from the States and I've found that where there are exhorbitant shipping costs, it's usually the guy skimming stuff off the postage & packing to make an extra buck or pound, whichever direction they are going in.  On the whole costs are pretty reasonable though.
