Hiya
I was thinking after looking at that katana and sword. You could make some great dungeon or castle room fillers.
For example
Weapon racks, with weapons
Swod and Shiel Wall hangings,
Tables, chairs, beds and furnitures
Torches and sconces, lamps
Bows and arrows for conversions
Shields
Polearms
Chests,
But I'd really love to see you make youre own style of kitset dungeons, castles, houses etc. Where the kit would have a dozen or so wall and floor pieces we can paint and assemble ourselves.
Not that I'd neccessarily buy them..but I reckon there would be a market for it here or on ebay.

Always open to ideas!
This really appeals to me. I have thinking about "complete" swords rather than just blades, wondered about application, since they would not be as easy to fit to an existing mini as a blade / tang. These complete weapons would go great as wall hangings or on racks.
As for racks and other furniture; you can probably tell I like making tiny things! I had thought about exploring the dolls market, but i see there could pe potential for diorama builders.
I have considered arrows too; something along the lines of the basic spear. Bows shouldn't be a problem; I already string the bows on any of my own or customers' minis so armed.
Polearms; no problem at all. Likewise shields.
As for chests and other accessories along those lines, I already havce a few crates, barrels and the like, and am working on similar things at the moment. I was planning on selling packs of barrels, in resin or lead (I have both) and also packs of assorted chests / crates.
The kitset building idea is something I am aslo curerently working on (there is a lot more going here than you ever get to hear about; at the moment less than ten percent of my prototypes get any further than just that)
By dungeons I imagine an interior dioram setting rather than an exterior building / wargame terrain type kit. Is that what you had in mind?
Interestingly, many of the now defunct mini manufacturers who were around in the 80s produce packs of accesories for dungeons, wizards' labs and so on. There doesn't seem to be as much of that around now.
"baggage" is an area I am looking at, since many historical gamers are introducin baggage and camps into there games as objectives (capture the enemies, protect yours sort of thing)
Great suggestions. If you or anyone else has more psecifics on these sort of things, I'm keen to hear.
