Now for the showstopper - our set-up for the final encounter. Take a look at this: I sent these pictures to my wife. She said it looked like 'budget witchcraft'. Note the Revolution floating above the battlefield (taken two weeks after the event, slightly deflated, having realised no one...

We mainly use them for elevation now.

As a preamble to a post about my incredible finale set-up, I thought I'd post some pics of our semi-final weekend. In this case, I kept it simple: a big Arc of Reida cut out of thick, white cardboard, on a table big enough to hold it (at 1" = 5ft scale). Then the Voice of Rot was made from...
