Went to the V&A week before last. they have a great section on Japan with some fantastic armour. I took these but neglected to make a note of when, where and who so unfortunately I have no information on them, sorry. But they're good inspiring pic's all the same.

When I lose my mojo for crafting (it happens) I tend to find myself watching some of the guys on Youtube. One of the people I particularly like at the moment it Nat1 videos . At the end of last year he posted a video where he made a rather spectacular, ruined Weathertop. I got inspired so I bought a couple of sheets of 20mm XPS foam, drew out a rough plan and got shaping.

Our man-at-arms deals some damage, taking the Gnoll out in 1 round of combat. The Gnoll sergeant takes a pounding. The dog is playing the part of a Vulture in this scenario. Unfortunately, despite us throwing 5 arrows his ...
