    That's excellent! I like how playable it is for DnD. You can put minis on top of the skull, the eyesockets, the nose, and inside its mouth during play. Thanks Mel!

      I was thinking the same. Or do they call every holiday in the UK Christmas? Kinda like how everyone calls soda "coke" in the south of the US...lol

      They do things a little different in The Potteries. Still not at outlandish as the Welsh and their undead horse rap battles though.

    I love the build. I did build a tower with a skull for the gate house. The chain to the draw bridge ran through the nose hole as the guard s look out the eyes hole the bridge did work. At the was where the wizard did his spells.just under his living quarters was a captured maiden that was guarded by a two headed dragon, one head slept the other watched. The wizard had a small band or Orcs. Too bad it got damaged and threw away some 20 years ago.

    Awesome seeing you enjoying yourself! I have to agree with a previous comment that some simple LED flicker lights in the eyes, maybe one shining onto the pool in the bottom would look really cool!
    Be a cool piece for a undead army.
    Trying to finish off some of my own terrain projects, finished off a small palisade here recently.

    Rather than putting filler on, you can lightly sand shiny, smooth plastics to gently rough up the surface and give it some tooth for the paint. But stippling lightly as you did is an alternative I haven't used, but has the added advantage of giving some nice texture.

    Alas, poor Yorick, for we modelled thee well. Looks Awesome Mel. You've definitely got your mojo back! It will be interesting (by the power of Greyskull!) to see what you do with Rita, Sue and Bob too...

    Quick tip Mel. If you spray a clear coat of varnish before you basecoat that often will give you something for the primer to grip to. I'd recommend matt varnish.

    Awesome idea. This could be used for many scales from 1/32 to even 1/6 depending on how it's dispalyed.

    I have few of these skulls from Wilco and all of them have the same hole on the side. As far as I've noticed the shops attach the kimble tags through it. Pretty stupid if you ask me, they can just use a sticker.

      I think it’s actually a part of the manufacturing process. Probably a hole to let air out during vacuum sealing or something
