The cothouse model...

This weekend I broke out the cereal packet and began a cothouse...

I have begun with a basic cardboard structure which I will build upon. I have placed the figure for scale. The basic corner stones have been drawn in with pen and will be built up with card etc prior to painting adding detail...

Yesterday I sent off for Figure samples from Front Rank which I hope will come within the week...

I have fifty pages of Lamplighter to read then Factotum can be started...

I have downloaded "Songs of Blades and Heroes" which look like they can be adapted well to my purposes. I am excited about potentialities and possibilities! Any Monster figure suggestions most welcome...

  1. I haven't read any Cornish, but it strikes me that City of Vice may also be of interest.

  2. Hi Alan
    I read Foundling - then called "Monster Blood Tattoo" as a proof copy well over a year ago. Thought it a good read but was more taken by the naval warfare than the Lamplighters. I will have to go investigate the other 2 at the Childrens book group conference next week. Hoping to abscond on the Saturday to get to Salute. Very naughty of Julian to raise the question of Irregular 42 mms on FLW, I was intending to go all 1938.
