Im going to use this as a place to talk about wargaming miniatures and kits that i collected down the line. Hopefully you will find some of the posts interesting. This is all new to me so lets see how it goes. Maybe one day it will all lead to somthing really great.
I'll start off the blog with a kit i got a while ago but is now sold, its the Imperial Trench system by Forge world! This was long OOP when i got hold of it and now its become quite desirable selling on ebay for around £200-250 (as of 2012).
PRO's : The kit is modular made from good quality hand cast resin. There were loads of upgrade kits available for it including support struts, ladders, firing steps and ladders. Heavy stubbers with crew could be added along side trench system equipment. The components are flexible allowing you to create various trench layouts.
CON's : It was quite an expensive kit when it was being sold, if you wanted to buy every upgrade it would cost around £100 (2009 prices). It was also an unusual kit because it couldnt lie on the surface of the gaming table, it was designed to be recessed into foam terrain board. This meant extra cost and time to craft the foam to create the desired effect.
Verdict: Its a great kit overall if you manage to find one on the internet its going to be a great investment piece for the future as its very desirable. I dont think there has been anything made to this standard and verity by rival miniatures companies. Deluxe terrain is quite a niche and it seems that forgeworld are slowly reducing its selection so buy now before its too late!
