PuddingWrestler will be proud...

My son is on a weeks school holiday, and they want him to make a fantasy scene as his homework!

So naturally, the first thing we did was check out 'Terrain for Hippos', to show the boy how easy it is - and then...to the ceiling tiles!

tis rather nifty - any chance of superior electro-galvanic daggeurotypes?

I assume 'twill be painted and have vegetation of sorts?

I hope I can take better photos soon - I was using the back up camera - and its never heard of the words 'resoloution' and 'focus'....

Definetely be painted soon, didn't feel so great this morning (too many glue fumes yesterday when I did the rocks!) and vegetation (SHRUBBERIES!!!) shall be applied!

So you'll be going to Roger the Shrubber for all your shrubbery needs then will you??

Ohh yes, Roger the Shrubber has been visited, and more importantly, the decent camera now talks to the computer once more (see, threats and cursing do work!)

And it is done...

brilliant

Will there be a vast horde of inhabitants? it looks kinda empty...
If you don't fancy painting, or lack for the requisite horde of miniatures, you could use paper figures. They are dead easy to do - print, cut, fold, paste, play.
There are a goodly selection on One Monk Miniatures, including a veritable horde of Forum Hordes.
There are also some (mostly bad guys) on my photobucket page.
I can just see a bunch of Porcotaurs fighting to get in...

Ahh, brilliant! I might just print some off when it comes back, thank you - the lad took it into school today, and everyone loved it - the only castle that anyone did!

As an addendum to the post, my son's teacher was so impressed with the work of the whole class, that she put the whole lot on a shelf outside the classroom, for the rest of the school to admire.

Well, we just found out how much the rest of them admired the standard of work - the whole lot has been vandalised

Several of them have had bits ripped of, and some little b#?&"%*d scraped loads of paint off of Mitchell's castle - we might electrify the next one....
