Yes, cue the Mel Gibson, Kenneth Branagh and even Keanu Reeves jokes... but it's truly Bolt Action that has the Ruined Hamlet to rule them all.
I picked up the three-house ruined hamlet set at Salute back in May, and have just now gotten round to assembling them. Which is easy - the parts are all bagged for you already trimmed from sprue and even cleaned of flash! All that remains is to stick them together, but that was the only issue I have with the kit...
There's no instructions or diagrams! I know, I know, the kit is infinitely assemble-able, you can put the pieces together however you like, but I would have appreciated a bit of guidance or some firm ideas on how they might fit together. The box art is okay, and there are some small pictures on the back too, but finally I had to screw my courage to the sticking point and just dig in.
So now the kit is assembled, and I have to go get some plasticard to make bases for the ruins. Should be able to do that this weekend and from there it should be a doddle to get these done.
Lots of cover to help the French General squad make another daring escape...
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact I just did a mini-photoshoot with the finished buildings and some French! Started to write the post, and storage space issues intervened...
