On the workbench...

Working on a couple of figures.The first is a nicker.It is a Gripping Beast figure of the monster Grendel.The second is a figure I have had for years and I can't remember who made it. It is a Lamplighter in personalised bad weather kit in the form of a large oilskin cloak and putees/bindings to protect the lower legs. The books suggest that Lamplighters choose their own weapons/kit to some degree so I have taken that idea and run with it.I need to give him a weapon ,perhaps a musket slung on his back.

A trip out...

I was in the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh yesterday and took this photograph-

The moment I saw this line of lamps (used to lead people along the path at night from the gate to the Caledonian hall where meetings,events etc take place) my mind recalled the Lamplighters. I looked at this blog and could not believe how long it is since I posted here!!
A welcome to some new folk leaving comments too. I am resolved to go back to the novels and have a go at this project once more.I see others have carried on in my absence and I am fascinated to see where it has taken them.So with no more ado books,figures and rules( there's a thorny subject) and we will see where it takes us...
