And under my thumbnail. To cut a long story short, the drill bit is broken which means I can't finish pinning the dragon.
So onto other construction matters.
First, the dungeon. The rules are coming on nicely as are the tiles. A couple of more rooms and we'll be ready to paint.
The other thing is having a castle. Every wargamer should have a castle. The problem, of course, is always coat. The new Renedra castle is lovely but - dear lord - the cost!
Allow me to present the Simba castle playset, available from Debenhams. http://m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_171050908599_-1
How does it look?
This is less than a quarter of the whole castle. A QUARTER.
You can see the nice stone texture, so I imagine it will paint up very easily. The plastic has taken plastic glue very well and the scale is spot on:
It's obviously lacking a touch of detail on the inside but considering I got it for less than £20 how on earth can I complain?
More progress on these next week, I hope.
£20! Now that's a bargain
ReplyDeleteCan't be robbed, can you?
DeleteI can't believe that, just ordered one myself off the back of this post!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be disappointed. I'm torn as to how much work to do on mine, as with a lick of paint it's more or less ready to use right out of the box.
DeleteI had a quick good of Simba Castles and there are some great examples of washes and matt spray.
