Guys, I followed in the footsteps of Till and grabbed myself the Playmobil arena.
It is fantastic. Im not much of a terrain maker, and so its really nice to have something that's sturdy and ready made. A criteria that my arena was going to have to fit was to be modular so that I can fold it up with all of my models and take it to friends houses/store it etc. This is just that. It breaks into about 11/12 parts, the largest being about 1 foot long, maybe 10" high and 6" wide.
I can see how it would be easy to paint/add things to it, and it could sit on any board meaning the terrain doesn't really have to be set in stone either.
For a head start on any project, or a easy build up arena for the more casual hobbyists, this is a steal for £35 new.
Oh and I've already started to make money back from selling the toys that come with it! So its getting cheaper!
