If you've never been to Middle-borough, remember all those post apocalyptic films of the '70s and '80s? They were all filmed there.

He's not wrong though, see attached photo of the area surrounding Pendraken HQ...!   

As he enters through the second airlock, he grunts. "No eat. Make little men."

Leon, I think you attached the photo of Mordor by mistake!

Mordor's just to the top right, I couldn't fit it in while keeping us in the shot...

So....Does that make Clibby, self, and our colleagues the Nozdrul ?

Careful Phil it's hobbit forming!

It'm my day off. I was adding a few licks of paint to my entry to the competition, which is quite unusual, because I tend not to paint in the mornings, preferring to get the day jobs out the way so I can relax whilst creating the abominations I do.

I logged on to the forum and there was ...

"The brush....... the brush.........Pick up the brush, Nobby."

So mind control is in the Pendraken armoury. No wonder I buy so much ... Oooh! M47 and Ferret and Sheridan! Pretty tanks! Must have them! Must have them now!

That's appalling !!

You've only just worked that out ?.....

Folks, 

I am mightily impressed by the fellowship that exists on this Forum.

I am heading to London in May for work, anyone know if you can catch a train from London to Hobbiton (Middlesbrough home of Pendraken miniatures)?

cheers,

Scott

If I'm reading it right Scott....

There look to be direct trains to Middlesboro from King's Cross station in London. (How many stops they make on the way, is another matter.)

Someone shout, if I'm wrong !

Cheers - Phil

Welcome to Blighty! Yes you can, but it's quite a trek*! Maybe find a show like Reading Warfare where the guys come south!

*Travel distance and travel time do not match up in this country. Driving in or out of London equates to adding at least two hours to a trip. Getting north-south in this country is easy, but east-west is a nightmare. All roads may not lead to London, but the vast bulk point towards it!  Trains are very very expensive too, especially if you try to travel on Fridays in rush hour, but you will find this out!

The irony is, I have loads of friends who have either moved to Canada from London, or are trying too!

Have you got a ring you need to get rid of?

If so, perhaps Techno can guide you. I've got his picture here somewhere ...

I've got far more hair than that !.....As for the rest of the body.....Fair enough !

Thanks all,

Now a UK 'trek' is not the same for us you know.  What you call a two hour drive needed a lunch and an overnight stop is just driving to work for us!

I will be in London from 15 - 22 May.  Anything happening then that they will be in London or nearby?

There is one from Kings Cross as Techno says:

There's one that stops at Eaglescliffe and Darlington which is a straight run, no stops at all until you get to York.  That's the one we use when we've gone down to London ourselves.  It's about 3 hours I think, so quite a trek, and it's about £60 return when booked in advance.  If you did fancy a visit, I'm sure we could arrange someone to pick you up from Eaglescliffe, but I'm not sure if our unit would be interesting enough to warrant 6 hours combined travel and a chunk of cash!

There's a huge amount of stuff in London to do and there's also a handful of UK shows that month, depending which week you're coming over.  There's a 2016 show calendar here: http://www.newarkirregulars.org.uk/

Awesome, I will be there during the Partisan MMXVI on the 22nd of May.

Hi all,

Thank you all very much for the information and advice.

As I said in my opener, I have nor done 10mm before.  I did these today as a test.  Hopefully I will improve as time goes by.  Think I am doing the 28mm things in 10.  Any and all advice would be most welcome.  Oh and I have no idea who makes the figures.





Sorry I know I should probably put these somewhere else.
