A bit of a wierd day. I had been volunteered by the Ministry of the Interior to help out with car parking at the local agricultural show, so spent the morning playing at traffic control in a field. It was actually quite good fun, although I'm now very sunburnt. It was all to raise some money for my son's scout troop, so well worth the effort, even if I now glow in the dark.
We also have some French guests staying for the weekend so it was off to Stonehenge in the afternoon for some touristy sightseeing. It doesn't seem to have changed much since my last visit in 1973, as the concrete soviet style bunker visitor centre thing is still there in all it's post modernist glory. It's a bit embarrassing to be honest but the actual henge bit is still pretty impressive, once you peer over the assembled coach loads of people.
Anyway, to save something from an otherwise unproductive day, I bought a Build Your Own Stonehenge kit from the gift shop. I'm not sure what I'll do with it but it does have potential for Adventures in Jimland and Tusk, although some pre-historical suspension of dis-belief will be a pre-requisite. It's a nice little injection moulded kit, in what could be 6mm or 10mm at a push, so worth the £5.99 that I handed over for it?
Ha that's quite cool....might make quite a good stronghold for a HoTT army.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I've seen that a few times in Waterstones but was never sure of the size. Probably too small for my use, but it would be interesting to see yours on the table!
ReplyDeleteLol...I thought you'd made this up...but I am guessing not. You have an eye for these things!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post, I nearly spat tea out at several moments! Too small for 28mm then?
