From Barks: A light snack from the larder (35 points)

Just a little something to tide me over until lunchtime!


I really like this halfling- he's a printed figure from The Printing Goes Ever On.


This cart is also printed.


These market stalls are from Mantic, and are the most frustratingly bendy rubbish, I almost rage quit on them a few times. I'm no stranger to warped soft plastic, but these failed to respond to the hot water/ ice bath treatment, and I ended up melting the struts over a flame to try and get them straighter. Now the ejection marks offend me, and they hide the nice goods below. The tables, barrels, and wares are all Mantic as well, and they're fine. But fine bendy pieces? Avoid like the plague- do not recommend.

Oh, and the manx is a metal Reaper familiar- did you spot him?

Two entires in one day? Solid work that man!  Love the Halfling and the nod to the scene in Lord of the Rings where the Gaffer is showing off his prize gourd.  Liked the stalls too but will give them a wide berth noting your comments. Overall, a lovely entry for the theme - nice work Barks!

  1. The end terrain looks great, but the effort involved sounds frustrating.

  3. I’ll steer clear of the stalls, but they make for a lovely market scene. Great halfling too. Was the cat originally a Manx or was there a tail related accident?

    1. Thanks, Jez! If you could see the red and green stall from the side you'd see the drunken lean...
