The clear out continues. I've put my 20mm Afghan theatre modern British and my British Army of the Rhine on ebay this week. I'd love to think they are all going to a good home. If anybody's interested they can be found at Modern British 1980's BOAR Thank you for looking
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. Starting to take shape. A couple of Mithril miniatures for scale. After getting the pieces how I wanted, I gave the whole thing a coating of watered down PVA, mixed with black acrylic ink.

Tiny makes a grim discovery, a mangled body with some strange bite marks on it. Looks like the poor soul got it while taking a leak. Zombies, they're like buses, you don't see one for 3 turns, then 4 turn up at once. Our bowman couldn't hit the broad side of a barn all game. The man-at-arms however was more like man of the match, always jumping in at the right time and chopping up zombies and rats in one hit. The game received the thumbs up, so we're looking...
