CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY

Today was a good day, a very good day, I received a hefty box of goods from Germany purchased from 'Cherno' on the Lead adventure forums, this lot will keep me going for eons:

 

Various resin pieces, mushrooms, tavern, bookcase etc

AD&D Gargoyles, ral Partha Rat Swarms etc

Fire Demon, Black Dragon, Chimera etc

Blood Troll, various Wraiths, Xorn, worm corpse thing

Various Mages, a bed, a thief, I think these are all Ral Partha

Bar Staff and some fighters

Various Fighters and robed people

Some Undead and a little gargoyle thing

More Fighters

Ilithid and some unknown creatures. 

Confrontation Ogre wearing an elephant head as a hat and Rogon The Balrog Dragon.

You may be asking how I was able to afford all this as I still have all my kidneys, but this huge haul was only £37, I have no idea what I'll do with most of it but I'm all set for lead for awhile :)

On a less cheery note, please can someone have a look a the two pics below and let me know if the blotching in the two images is the dreaded lead rot (you can click the images for larger views).

I've never really seen the dreaded rot in person so I'm not sure and any advice would be much appreciated. It only seems to be affecting the the main body of Rogon and not the other parts of the kit. I gave the affected areas a scrub with a copper brush and it seems to have removed whatever it was and brought up the model in a nice shine.

Anyway moving on from the doom and gloom, I finished of a couple more old school orcs:

Also here's a little sneak peek at what I've been making this week, the start of a petrified forest/lookout tower.

Hopefully should have some more progress to show you towards the end of the week.
