Victorian Buildings for reference

Hi Chaps,

Often without thinking I will take my camera out whilst shopping or paying bills to capture little bits of Victorian England for my own files. It may be of use to any gamers out there who play IHMN or indeed any other system to have a quick look at our sometimes crumbling and sadly usually unappreciated Victorian buildings.

As you can see you could justifiably create any building you want. It could be a plain Jane brick and stone affair or you could start throwing fanciful stone edges and arches all over it....just think what Elton John would like and you can't go wrong.

I have some factory pics to dig out but they are pretty depressing-I have first hand experience of working in one of those soul sapping holes so I will wait for a while before I even bother looking.

Have a good weekend Chaps, keep blogging, keep painting and enjoy.

Vice in miniature! (an a cart or two)

Hi Chaps,

For my bases I usually order from Warbases http://war-bases.co.uk/ this excellent company not only can sort all your basing needs but also your miniature vices as well! My last purchase of bases also had with it a few ladies of the night which have painted up OK and will help populate my slowly growing Victorian metropolis.

These are a work in progress and will eventually have cobbled or stone bases....one of these girls looks worryingly male-maybe it was a thing but my research will go no further on this.

Another purchase was from ebay and consisted of three Lledo carts, they seem to fit 28mm close enough and will in time receive a new coat of paint and a base....less than £5 posted proves that bargains for skint gamers are still out there.

Finally the bartender from reaper mini's who has been waiting patiently for a year or more has gotten a coat of paint....now just to build him and the girls a bar to work in.

Keep blogging Chaps....this hobby can still be cheap.
