I think it is the GW Fortified Manor with the surrounding fences, multiple uses as a versatile scenery piece. And a tallish tower to use as a Border tower for Border Reivers games.
Cheers,

It's not scenery per se, but since it is primarily used to hold my modelling materials, and basing stuff in particular, I thought I'd list it here: a container tower which I bought today from my local Hobbycraft store (UK) for 12.20 pounds (or something).





Rather well made, the "Stow&Go Quad!" is produced by a US company, New Phase Inc. (www.newphaseinc.com). The containers are a snug fit in the racks, the rack itself rotates on a solid-looking pintle. The only possible weak spot could be the hinges of the containers - those may come off with repeated opening and closing (it's just some plastic folded over), but since they close tight, you can just slip the tops on if it does break.

You get 24 containers (so it's 50p per container and some pennies for the rack). I'm rather happy with it and used it to sort my modelling materials, paritcularly the small ones, and the basing stuff.

Am trying to get my wife hooked on the idea of buying some of these.

My wife makes jewelry, and my kids have all sorts of beads and other small things...

Needless to say, my basing material could use one of those as well  ;)

Anyhoo...

I snagged another Easter Island Head (McDonalds' Night at the Museum toy) from a charity shop for 30p (about 36c (Euro), 45c (US)... sorry, I don't really do other currencies). Lord knows what I'm going to do with it, but hey ho, you can't pass up a bargain like that.

Picked up the Daily Bugle building from a Spiderman playset someone was selling in its component pieces. Half way through priming it now.

From my brother, who made it as a birthday gift, a 5"x5" warehouse building to populate our 28mm pulp games. It's got a large open workspace, a bit of a loft, and an office in one corner. Very cool.

Pictures in the next few days; I'm housesitting and not on my usual computer...
