Hello all and particularly those of you in the UK and Eire.

I recently stumbled upon this website

3Ws(.)lotr-models(.)co(.)uk

(Sorry, as this is my first post, it is not letting me post a URL)

And was amazed at the number of cool models that are available, in particular it looks like some of the trolls/ents/sauron etc are possiblly compatible with GWs LoTR minis in terms of scale, not too mention some of the scenery type pieces like the Tree of Gondor, Balrog statues from the bridge over Morgulduin and Rohan king statue from helms deep.

My questions are thus:

- Have any of you guys in the UK/Eire bought any of these models and are they compatible scalewise.
- If they are, would any of you be willing for me to send money (for postage as well as purchasing of course) and get you to purchase some of these and send them back to me? i live in New Zealand, and very frustratingly, cannot order these online or get them sent to NZ.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards Chris :), (aka Hubminator)

Never seen the site before, but their Treebeard model looks great! Does anyone know how tall it is?

edit: NVM, I believe it is 88mm.

Unfortunately they seem to be out of scale with the citadel minis. Gw's LoTR minis are 1:45 scale, and those minis are 1:29 scale. So they're a bit large...

Perhaps though you could get away with using various monsters (treebeard, balrog, mumak), as they're size as shown by Gw is a little off, but those ones compared to the GW onse might work.

Totally over-scaled for the SBG. They are all from 42 to 69mm, much bigger than our warriors.

They come already painted too... and very basic quality is usual in this sort of collections. Not sure if its the case though:?

I believe DurinsBane got a few some time ago... maybe he can give a more proper review.
