For castley castles I should point out that a stones throw away from Tate Modern is the Tower, very castley.

And rainy. <br /><br />Regarding 'fine art' - The Chapman Bros. whose work references diorama model-making and painting in a direct way, well worth looking at if you haven't done so already, especially Fucking Hell. Jim Caulty (formerly of the KLF) Riot in a Jam Jar series is also on point.

I was on a short cycle ride yesterday and passed by a pool of fetid water, perfect inspiration for a nurgle base! A fantastic post, thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
