I believe they're Mutineer Miniatures.

Lovely stuff
You will need to get a horse for this and the others. We should have looked harder yesterday?
 Can anybody suggest a good horse supplier?

Decent draught horses are hard to find.
Maybe try an oxen for the cart....?

I have found these since making that statement.
All kinds of animals that could be useful, even deer!

Thank you!

Great link Paul! Cheers for that. That whole site is very useful!

I've started work on a couple of other pieces. I've been trying to work out how to do a waterfall and I've came across some of our railway modeller colleagues techniques. To create realistic water they seem to use bathroom silicon sealer. You need something the silicon doesn't stick to. I used a bit of plastic card. You just apply it in vertical lines. Once that's done (while it's still wet) run a tooth pick down its length to rough it up. I also added some wee bits of white silicon with the toothpick, to look like frothy water.

 

It's going to be attached to this...



I've also started the sword in the stone piece. The poles are going to be lit torches when I'm finished.

Interesting stuff mate 

Grain of wheat bulbs for the lights?

cheers

Looking good so far, mate.
 

Great idea for the falls.
Going to store that one away for future use.

Why is the sword in the stone stuck in an anvil?

Why is the sword in the stone stuck in an anvil?

Because that is the mythical 'Sword in the Anvil', not your common-as-muck, two-a-penny, 'Sword in the Stone' trick, that's why.....

[Andym]

I think the Disney one is stuck in an anvil. That's what I was going with.

The waterfall is finished (I think ). I'm not sure if I need to lay some more silicon down on the falls them self to rough it up a bit more. I might put more varnish on as well.

Looks great mate 

Maybe the addition of a tree or two to give it a bit more height 

cheers

James

[Ray Earle]

Love it Andy, that's great. 

I agree with James though, a tree or two may just do the job.

[Svennn]

Absolutely splendid 

I say no trees     Seeing it in isolation I agree that trees would add height but I think it looks idyllic glade like and the trees can be on the adjoining areas?

[gamer Mac]

Stunning,  leaves the trees. The sealer has worked better than I thought

[Ranger]

Another wonderful addition.
The waterfall from silicon was a stroke of genius and something I will be trying.

On a side note concerning something which was mentioned earlier. Conquest Games have now released the latest set of 'Robin of Sherwood' figures featuring Herne and Nasir.

Very very nice
