Hi John
I don't know how you come up with your ideas. Always interesting and you have the skills to turn them into reality. This is great.

John,
Amazing what happens when modelling under the influence, I keep suggesting to the management that I need more liquid inspiration, she suggested a left hook behind the ear.....
Great modelling, now onto page two.
Mike.

Thanks again chaps

I find that ideas come from looking around at the junk that is laying about in my study, or that I find around the grocery or hardware store. Like all modellers my first question is always, Now what could I do with that. Once an idea germinates it soon takes on a life of its own. Not everything works.
Mike You now that keeping things lubricated in the winter can stop a little of drying out and chafing.

Got around to a few more cliches today.

Spurious Celtic decoration - check
Anthropomorphism - check
A bard - check

First figures turned up,





Made a curtain for the library window.



I had this crazy idea that fantasy figures would still have a certain Scale to them. What was I thinking? Obviously a sword wielding medieval mouse can be about 10 foot tall when compared to human figures. Btw the bard is really quite a nice little figure. I am looking forward to painting him.

This is superb John, some great techniques to borrow.

[Guest]

I love the bard figure, looks so cool and ideal for the pearl that you are building.

[Tim Marlow]

Great progress. Tower is awesome.
Mouse figure looks clean and detailed.....he’ll look great as an albino......quite other worldly...what range is he from?
I know that someone did lord of the rings mice figures, but I can’t remember who.....
Love the bard as well, nicely animated, but a little softer in detail....

[Tim Marlow]

There they are.....40mm I think though.....

Fantastic sculpts.....Enjoy!

[wotan]

Thanks chaps.

The figures are from Dark Sword and I also have some from Frostgrave. The Dark sword are very nice and measure about 30mm except the mouose who seems to come in at around 35mm.

We had an interesting visitor in the garden yesterday so another cliche is covered.

Now you’re just showing off......and I am very, very jealous :angry:

[minitnkr]

You're really letting your artist flag fly on this one John. Just outstanding. Love the savage mouse. Will the raptor be perched on the crenellation? PaulE

[Peter Gillson]

Loverly. Really like the amount of detail you have added.

Anything goes for this type of build.

I decided that rather than build stairs to the roof I would simply make a little shack where the stairs are. Started off building the shack using lollypop sticks and coffee stirrers. Then gave it a basic wood colour.



I then weathered it with a product I found called Painted Barnwood Effect. I quite like the finish. Also added some celtic thingy.



Finished off with a metal roof, and stuck it on the tower.





Finally I did some more gardening.



I am leaving the right side open for the moment since I have some more stuff on order and I am not sure of its size yet until it comes.
