Toy railroad bridges from a Daiso, a 100 Yen shop in Japan.

PBS plastic so use superglue.

I'm using them upside down so I trimmed the corners (the bottom is supposed to be train tracks that I don't have). This got me some nice industrial rubble though.

The grating is a bit large but a 25mm base won't fall through.

6" long

I only found them in one shop, and bought out the stash, but hey, cheap, cheerful and useful.

More pics after they're painted.

Got some modelling done yesterday

Ruins of Middle Earth. The kit is NOT modular and meant to go together one way, but when has that ever stopped me? Tried stacking two of the long walls to make a big building, it works. Didn't go crazy with greebles this time, just a bit to add character.

Nice warm day for priming.

Even got a start on the Defense/Defence Laser tower. Not sure about the red ball turret, worried it looks too much like a Pokeball now. We'll see how weathering comes out.

Nice find Kid_Kyoto.

Tonight's project, LotR ruins+Tamiya sandbags for a makeshift position in an ancient temple.

As with the other kits I am trying to make this one unique, which is not easy, this kit is not modular and not meant to be build any other way. In this case besides the sandbags I added an extra wall from the other half of the kit to make it a 3 sides shape rather than an L.

More to come as I finish off my LotR ruins.

The tower is a nice idea. I like it's dual use a lot.

Some progress on the Defense Laser (Defence Lazor for our British readers).

And in its Void Shield Generator form

Gondor Tower, such a fun kit.

And the last batch of Lord of the Ring Ruins, hopefully I can do a shot of the whole ruined temple ensemble soon.

More progress on the LotR Ruins turned makeshift strong point.

I really like how the contrast between the ancient stonework and the crude sandbags looks. Someone definitely had only a few hours to get ready for the attack.

Still more work to do for the gate way, Gandalf #3 definitely needs a base now that I look at him.

And finally got some work done on the Memorial to the Hammer Wars.

The Hammer Wars were a dark time when three different rivals claimed to hold the Sacred Hammer of Saint Johan Hendrik. Millions died before the High Cardinal proclaimed that Saint Johan owned many hammers over the course of his long life and that all three were in fact true Hammers of Saint Johan. Even then true peace was not achieved until several years later at banquet honoring the end of hostilities when two of the three rivals suddenly died of food poisoning. This not only ended the war, it also led to some of the most stringent food safety laws in the Sector.

TL/DR? When I saw the Thor toy I knew I had to make a Hammer Wars memorial with it.

Neat terrain and hilarious background writing. Not too long at all, keep it coming and don't be shy to splash out on wordcount if you ever wax poetic and the muse inspires you.

Inspiring modelling and painting log!

Loving the LoTR terrain pulled into grimdark. L
