I wish each manufacturer (GBP, Perry & Fireforge) offered a Sprue dream pack (or sample pack). Like 1 sprue from each box, in the pack. Then one could go crazy mixing them up and figure out what they like.

Thanks!
Tyrion's absolutely correct.
Here's some more mixing. For example the crossbowman in the middle is a Fireforge Mongol head on a GB Viking body, with Fireforge men-at-arms arms.

This is absolutely awesome! So all the GBP and Fireforge stuff interchanges very well? I know the Frostgrave soldiers don't becuase they are ball and socket. Do the heads and arms line up well between GBP and Fireforge?

Not a 100% fit, but the plastic is easy to cut with some clippers, so with a bit of snipping and some superglue it's all good

Thank you for all your help!

What's the best filler to buy for miniatures? Like how do you get rid of the seams between the head and arms?

I usually don't bother - relying on the glue and the paintjob to hide the joins. However if need be I use Milliput or Greenstuff (not sure what they're called in the US).

I see both here on Amazon.com. Lots of variations of both. Maybe different colored packages --- they really do like to confuse things!

Luckily I'm limited to what I can find in the UK - yellow and green in both cases. Milliput is better for helping stick bits together, while Greenstuff is better for blending in and sculpting bits (fur, pouches, and whole figures; but that's a completely different ballgame that I have no knowledge of).

Some more bits of scenery...

A well (of dreams and sorrows) - Painted coffee jar lid.

Some more (smaller) bookshelves - Bits of foam kneeling pad.

Some stonework - Polystyrene packaging.

Nice terrain

Like how you made those bookshelves.

I suppose I could make some book shelves with 1/2" rigid insulation (pink foam). I need a ton of them for the library scenario.

Thanks!

loving the well! I have already taken the lid from a jar to steal!

Lol that's the spirit!

Coffee jar lid lids in this house are now in severe danger of ending up in a frozed city - smart idea.

Right then - let's have a layout shot of all this great stuff you've been making. You must have a good stack of goodies by now.

Well done Sir....!
