Looking for a big covered well (28mm)

Post by BaronVonWreckedoften »

This kind of thing would do (but apparently this one is only available in the US at the moment, and I've given enough of my hard-earned to HMRC and Royal Mail for one lifetime).

Any ideas - or better still, one to sell/give away? (Please don't say "why not scratchbuild?"!!!).

Pay your tax, or scratchbuild and stop being a wuss.

And no mdf kits, please, either.

Just found this one on the Armorcast website, but also only available in the US it seems (unless anyone on here knows any different?):-

Why not scratchbuild :evilgrin: it’s not too difficult:

Could use this as a basis:

Everything else I see has its origins abroad, so suck up those custom duties (while they are still low 8-) )
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

That's a rubbish well - it looks more like a church with two towers and a big door.

They protect wells in Mejixo, against enemies spiritual and temporal. That's why it's called a covered well. Didn't you visit Mexico on your way to the fish and chip shop a couple of months ago?

Just got notified about these on another forum:-

http://www.tabletop-world.com/?product=91

https://stronghold-terrain.de/en/shop/e ... traegerin/

Went for the second one, and ordered a "St Brendan of Clonfert" figure to accompany my SAGA Normans, all for the same postage.

So nah-nah, nah nah naaah to the feckin' lot o' yas!!!! Still find it odd that nobody in the UK makes something like this.

(The reason I was being so snarky about the tax & RM kidnap ransom was because I believe the threshold for paying it is £18 including postage, and the Novus Designs well, with postage, was £18.48. Given my previous luck with customs duties I wasn't going to risk being stung for whatever (20%?) + £8 for the sake of 48 pence. The purchase from Stronghold came in at £26 including VAT at only 19% :finger: AND with two useful figures.)

He's a Navigator. All I need now is a pilot and a mid-upper gunner, and "N for Norman" is taxi-ing off to give Adolf what for.
