And finally, the Seminary. I have an update on the progress with the model which will not be ready for Sunday but will star in the follow up games I have planned. More details will follow once it is completed.

This should make a nice centre piece to the table when it's done.

Anyway I'm off to the DWG meet up tomorrow and then we play Oporto on the Sunday, so more posts to follow.
