The mystery MechWarrior vehicles look a lot better with a fresh coat of paint.  They’ve been de-weaponized so that the Buy ‘N Large crew now have a little runabout (left) and a large cargo hauler (right).  The pink tires don’t look right against the white background, but the red...

Rummaging through the treasure trove that is the box of random toys in my son’s collection turned up these little numbers.  Perfect scale for 10mm gaming, but I have only the vaguest memory of picking them up years ago at the local library’s used book sale of all places....

With this landing pad, I finally pulled the trigger on the whole ‘sponsoring megacorp’ thing.  This colony is brought to you by the fine folks at Buy ‘N Large.  Anybody know where I can find a suitable Wall-E miniature?  Scale doesn’t matter, if they are 25mm scale, they’ll just...

The human colonists now have a way to get on and off planet.  One custom made rocket landing pad with spare fuel tanks, access ramp, and matching rocks and plants to tie it into the rest of the terrain....

For 10mm miniatures, nine square feet of table space is more than enough room for battle.  With a standard six inch move for the fast figures it’ll take six full turns to cross the table, not counting detours to avoid terrain. To keep the colors as consistent as possible,...

These hills are 10mm tall – just enough to block line of sight for all but the biggest miniatures.  Rules-wise they block sight for everyone, but this way they’ll fit into the one box. They are built of two layers of 5mm foamcore glued together and carved to suit....

Banged out a quick terrain piece for the alien world last night.  The colonists need some excuse to move into the neighborhood, and this mining outpost gives it to them. Lot of blank (advertising space on the front of this piece.  Might fill that up with a printed sign...

You can find a lot of places covered in red dirt on this old blue marble on which we live, so red dirt alone is not enough to convey the idea of an alien world.  For that you need aliens, and not just alien animals.  Alien plants go a...

…Preferably mineral rich land on an uninhabited planet.  If you can’t have that, the ‘mineral rich’ is more important than the ‘unihabited’.  At least for rapacious human colonists.  To that end I picked up more 12-inch square boards to build a modular terrain setup for some tabletop sci-fi action. ...

With all that rule nonsense out of the way, we can talk about the other fun stuff like figures and terrain. As always, I’m looking to keep it cheap and contained in a single “under the bed” style plastic tub.  That means 10mm figures, found items, and terrain boards.  For father’s...
