The Postman has been!

[JOLLY GOODSHOW]

I have had the last two days off to get a few jobs done and yesterday the postman got out of his van and opened the back doors, the excitement was unbearable!
Two big boxes were signed for then i nearly ripped them open.It was just like being a kid again.
The Rorkes Drift set is excellent.I made both buildings in an afternoon using the walk-thru directions on the 4Ground website and thoroughly enjoyed it.It wasn't very difficult and they look stunning.I think that these mdf buildings are the future.
I was also pleased with the plastic figures as i had seen the 3-ups and was slightly under-awed.

Only one real complaint/disappointment-
The mealie bags used in the wall sections are the size of mattresses and would suit 54mm.I will have to replace them with another make.

Thanks
Paul

Well the mealie bags were about 200lbs in weight according to Pte Hook, so they're going to be a lot bigger than a sandbag (or the mealie bags shown in the fim).

Hi JOLLY GOODSHOW,

Could you advise where on the 4Ground website you got the walk-thru directions.

Have checked but can't find them.

Regards

Jim,
Its on the news and info page as a PDF.



Cubster surely they weren't his big?
The ones on the wagon are beetter.

Cheers

I think the larger mealie bags are realy a little too big. 200 IB equals 90,8 kg. This gives a volume of 145 - 160 liter, according to the type of meal. But they still make a splendid barricade for the gamer.

[Cubster]

Well, if you think 200lbs is as heavy as a big man, then how big would the bag need to be? I couldn't say if truth be told. The ones on the wagon could be something else - flour maybe?

A quick Google later and I find a pick of some charming people posing in front of some 200lb bags of corn.



So yeah, looks like they are too big then. Good spot.

Hmm, if these are full 200 Ib sacks you proved that the Warlord ones are far too big. Compare the photo of the miniature lying on the bags with yours that shows them just reaching the hips of the adults.

Just for fun....
which is heavier:
200lb of feathers or 200lb of coal?
There is a reason for that somewhere that adds to the debate..

200lb of hops

Hi Paul,

Found it. Thanks very much.

Was originally lookin at 4Ground.com which is a telecoms site. Didn't see any pylons at Rorkes Drift.

C'mon Cubster you gotta comment on this.
