Most of the models for my dark fairy tale inspired witching trolls came from US sources, but I picked up some of the excellent teddy bear models from Northumbrian Tin Soldier and a lovely “forest troll” from North Star figures…
My friends know I’m a history geek. A big one. You can see it in my Renaissance Netherlands history project (with a Facebook page and very recently launched Instagram account), and my would-be 6mm big battle and 15mm multi-base skirmish…
