This really is a fantastic piece of kit and you must all get it. I noticed its going for £22 on the website. Its worth twice that, honest. The detail is simply amazing and a big thanks to Simon for making these and to HF for making them available.

Very imaginative, outstanding conversions, and a great use of details!  I love it!  Freddy looks really characterful with that mustache.

Jaw droppingly good! Hopefully this will distract you from entering the Wyrd contest (but I doubt it)

You made me sure it's one excellent piece of terrain. Excellent use of it and I love the guy with this cool moustache :) You should be proud of this piece.

But if I were to find something weaker it would be the plants :)

StarBags is perfect.

as an aside I used to work for a guy who once ran a caff type thing at major festivals that he called MadDonal's - cos his name was Donal.

some times you can really learn to hate these paint slaves for painting so well especially when your staring at their work everyday.

Fantastic work Mark as always!

That is amazing...  :shock:

It pushed me over the edge from thinking "Maybe I could get that..." to "It must be mine, whatever the cost!!"

Bloody brilliant!

Thats the general idea Fabian. :wink:  
When you get it you should get some of the etched barbed wire too if possible. Its perfect for this piece and very handy for other projects.

Cheers, thanks for the welcome; been lurking a while - thought I might take the plunge. I've just ordered me some sand bag goodness, didn't think to get barbed wire as well. Doh! Oh well, that's next month sorted! :D

Just got my resin pieces this morning, absolutley brilliant.

I was expecting to have to do some prep work, filling holes, carving out the bubbles, bit of filing here, bit of greenstuff there etc etc... that I have to do with all my other resin bases but these casts are spot on, hardly anything needs doing at all.

I just hope I do as good a paint job as Klutes to do these justice.
