Walls Come Tumbling Down

Not a very exciting update this week I'm afraid, as I've let the miniatures rest and instead painted up these walls I bought from an eBay vendor a couple of years back. They are in resin, quite nicely detailed and should work for a number of periods from Dark Ages to more modern times, as well as in fantasy gaming. The casting is unfortunately a bit on the dodgy side – small parts of the rubber mould had stuck to most of the pieces and there were quite a lot of air bubbles all over the them (which is noticeable in the close-ups below).

Consequently, there were quite a lot of cleaning up to do and to be honest I got so fed up in the end, I didn't even bother to fill in all the air bubbles. With all those cracks and details, it was also a bit of a challenge to undercoat the walls. However, I think they turned out pretty decent after all, especially once they were finished off in my usual basing style.

A picture of the whole set laid out:

The longest parts are approximately 160 mm long (approx. 6.4 inches), and the overall height is 22 mm.

To give a sense of scale/size, I let my Saxons pose for some action shots:

I think the walls will be a nice addition to our terrain set-up. As I said, they're quite versatile, which is always a good thing of course.

Finally, the same shot as above but from a different angle:

Oh, right – bonus points for those of you who can spot the musical reference (without googling it!) in the title of this post ...

Thanks for looking!
