Terrain Tuesday #2

OK, it's Wednesday, but it was a Bank Holiday...

My idea of having a weekly terrain post to prompt me to do some regular painting failed this week, but was rescued by a couple of serendipitous charity shop finds this morning.


With a Grendel Scotia tomb entrance
There a bit big, but that the point of monuments - monumental.


And I got a book on the art of Tintin as well...

  1. A couple of very useful acquisitions

    My last charity shop purchases were three non-fiction paperbacks
    Roy Porter - Enlightenment [50P]
    Jeremy Paxman - The Victorians [£1]
    Giles Milton - Big Chief Elizabeth [£1]
    All in excellent condition [only slight slight creasing to the spine].

  3. Great luck here! I've been looking for a suitably sized sphinx (say that 3 times fast!) for my SAGA Crusades games. I've not been as lucky as you!

  6. Great finds.
    I'm always on the look-out when I visit flea-markets and such. Sometimes you're in luck.

  7. I couldn't agree more, you need your monuments to command awe and inspiration as our heroes come across them.
