It’s Worse Than That, It’s Gym, Captain

Here’s a nice open space for a shoot-out.  The ship’s gym comes complete with a futureball court and target, and a sparring/wrestling mat.  I’d hoped to do without the Necromunda style yellow and black striped caution marks, but darn it those patterns just plain work.  The boys at GW...

Bridge Construction

Tell me this bridge doesn’t evoke a TARDIS feeling.  That’s a basic hex base for a 28mm figure with cereal packet painted with dials, screens, and other controls.  I took the same style syringe cap used for the engines and stuffed it full of green and unpainted toothpicks.  The...

Little Touches

Every little detail added makes the rocket come alive just a little more.  This shot shows some successes in that department.  The engines are starting to look the part with bright green glowy cores surrounded by plastic casements. (Those are the tops of big syringes over a painted bamboo...

Ladder for the Lads

Like I said – a little drybrushing and those zip-ties really pop as ladders.  If you don’t think about it too hard. This shot gives you glimpses of other design decisions.  The vents turned out just fine, but they still need numbers on them.  The teal and orange will...

Brilliant Solutions

The best comment section on Blogger is right here, folks.  Early this week I lamented that my storage case was almost perfect.  Two, count them TWO, loyal readers pointed out that I’ve got pointy blades that could nip a small notch in the case, which would allow me to...

Almost Awesome Storage Solution

Down to the local craft store this past weekend, looking for a small plastic box to house my Mangalorcs between games, and stumbled on this slick little number.  It’s a carousel of five small boxes that detach, with a larger and deeper central  bin on top.  It’s only nine...

Rocket Lessons, Part the Second

Do as I say, not as I do.  I did as I do, and it was a mistake.  So from here on out, I will do as I should have done and would have done, if I had somebody making these mistakes for me the way I’m making them...

Who Is Number One?

Notre Dame, for the next month at least.  But on my table, this warboss is number one: That power sword turned out pretty good. The 28mm grenade becomes a big frackin’ bomb at this scale....

Sporc Boyz

Quick update with some painted GZG Space Mercenaries.  Brummie pointed out that they look more like the Mangalores from Fifth Element than orcs, but let’s be honest here.  Mangalores are just orcs by a different name.  Big, green, ugly warriors? You could call those ugle mugs Cutieponies and they’d...

Cheese it Boys, It’s the Copse!

This looks like your normal wargame tree stand.  Art posterboard cut into a circle, a few dollar store plastic trees, some rocks, sand, and paint, and it’s an instant forest.  In my world it becomes a low-cost oxygen generation machine.  This is designed to fit right into the heart...
