Need a bigger building! Red Devil Inn.WIP.Nov 2017 Post

I came to the conclusion that the first Red Devil Pub/Inn/Tavern wasn't big enough. At first I thought I could save the front wall and add it to a bigger base. But it wasn't that simple.So I had to start from scratch.



Above the old and the new tavern.



Front view


East Wall
West Wall

Rear Wall



I haven't finished it but hear are some internals shots of the ground floor.

It should be big enough for internal combat. As you can see the Irish Volunteers have made themselves at home.


I've loads more to do light add lamps,finish the bar.Add stairs to the rear wall,finish the floor and then finish the 1st floor. But its more work than I've done in 6 months!

So the old Red Devil Inn/Tavern will become "The Ship Inn" among other things.

North Star AlienTribal Warband Review

I don't often do reviews as there are lots out there and they can do a better job than me. But my latest buy from North Star Miniatures inspired me to jot something down and take a few pics.


From their Death on the Red Planet range.You get 10 figures and there seem to been 12 different sculpts in the range from the website pic. Its pot luck if you get different poses from the 12. I assume its a bin pick to numbers rather than by sight.I ended up with 6 different poses.



The weapons are interchangeable or could be replaced with rifles etc..


Could be a casting problem but the chap above had a "slipped" right leg. Hopefully not a mould problem. Not a big job to fix but as its the only leg to make ground contact it will need pinning after removing the extra white metal as I've just did before the the pic.
They all need a good clean and there is rather a lot of flashing.But its not the end of the world.


Monkey faced which works well with my plans for them.
Extra high Martians! Add wing flaps under the arms, hair on the heads,backs and face,extra toes and we won't be fare off the RAFM original High Martians. As they are ground based what I'm thinking is a "Tunnel/Slave Guards" for a Kragg. I thought about junking the shields as it's not practical for flying beasts. But in tunnels you can use a shield rather effectively.
I plan to buy some more next year, hopefully the other poses but may keep them without change for another game?
