<r>I found a few more boats (thanks to Endar's post showing us his gladiator arena) at Manorhouse Workshop (<URL url="http://manorhouseworkshopmindstalkers.wordpress.com/manorhouse-workshop-catalogue/mhw-boats/"><LINK_TEXT text="http://manorhouseworkshopmindstalkers.w ... mhw-boats/">http://manorhou...

<r>@ Arcarius<br/> <br/> That's Psomminiature of course! (<URL url="http://www.psomminiature.com/">http://www.psomminiature.com/</URL>)<br/> It's their "ENVIRONNEMENT ENTREPOT/GRANGE" which could be translated in "warehouse/stables environment". Their web site is still only in french but you can pro...

<r>The most common resin product I have seen and would recommend for casting clear water features is Envirotex Lite. It is a 2 parts resin product available in all descent art supply stores. Most commonly, it is used as a very thick and sturdy varnish but it makes very good miniature rivers/ponds to...

<r>Dwarven Forge is not producing any Gladiator arena.<br/> <br/> Here is a link I know (amongst many) where you could get a similar product (painted/assembled or not):<br/> <URL url="http://terranscapes.com/products/structures.php">http://terranscapes.com/products/structures.php</URL><br/> <URL url...

If you get to pay only half of what retail value is with no shipping fees, taxes or customs fees, It's a rip off!!!... for the seller. If you have the means, the craving for such products and you live far from the US (crazy expensive shipping fees), do not hesitate one second and buy!

<r>Hi Monkplayer,<br/> <br/> If you'ra a "NEWBIE" as you say, think twice before investing yourself into unpainted metal miniatures. I, for myself, paint metallic minis and I'm now quite good at it. Unfortunately, it took me a lot of investments, many years of practice and far too many hours paintin...

<r>What I don't like about the Mat from Hotzmats (earth green: the one most likely to be used for outdoors fantasy settings) is that it is quite uniform. The same applies for the ones from Woodland Scenics (uniform tone of green). I've been considering lately to buy a Mat from <URL url="http://terra...

<t>The original Octagonal Room Set had 6 pieces of diagonal walls. All the other pieces from that set are also readily available within the classical room set. So, unless you are into collecting "Complete Sets" and you want to make sure to have one box of everything Dwarven Forge ever produced, do n...

<t>The ships from Arsenale Shipworks look good, but they are a little bit too "cartoony" for my tastes. They are available painted or unpainted.<br/> <br/> The Privateer costs $89.99 painted or $74.99 unpainted.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The Merchant Caravel costs $59.99 painted and $49.99 unpainted.<b...

<r>I found the following blog/link which describes the effort of a guy and his group at doing RPG with pirates! He converted a plastic toy from Disney (The Black Pearl itself) and the result looks terrific!<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://arteis.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/a-pirates-life-for-me/"><LINK_TEX...
