Well that’s all the game board finally finished!!! With time to spare before the show. The board has been varnished and all the tufts have been added… lots of tufts added 😢 it took ages to stick them all on. More graffiti has also been added to the backs of [Read more...]
A good amount of work done this week… The track has all the extra sand and gravel added, oh and now even some rocks! One coat of yellow primer has been added to the surface, once this was dry I started working on the track-side blocks, wrecked vehicles and other terrain, this all got a [Read more...]
Well a little more progress this week, things are coming along nicely. The cars are now getting their weathering applied, first a wash to darken / fade the paintwork a little, even the yellow vehicle is looking a lot better now. Then a few bits of rust and bare metal have been painted [Read more...]
Well it has been a fairly slow but steady week on the project, over the first few evenings of last week I had been doing a slow and slightly boring job of cutting all the blocks for the track, these blocks will be the concrete blocks (when finished) forming most of the track edges.

So this time I wanted to again try and make a paddle steamer but this time with side wheels and decided on two ships that I didn’t have. The first was going to [Read more...]
Yep billboards, these have been scratch built from plastic sheets, coffee stirrers and balsa wood with a few other little added extras to finish them off. I have seen many post-apocalyptic gaming boards and a lot of them have billboards of one kind or another so I decided I would have some as [Read more...]
( ok technically its a wooden or tinclad ship ) Well I tried something over the last couple of evenings that I haven’t done for a long while and that was scratch building, and it was a lot of fun. I have a few ACW ironclads which I use for Blood Sweat & Iron, but I am a little lacking in [Read more...]
I had a little spare time over the last couple of evenings and thought it was time that I put together some more 15mm sci-fi scenery, the main bulk of this I printed out a while back but had not done anything with it. Now my 3D printer is not the best for delicate detail and it does leave lines [Read more...]
