Gaslands – A Few Thoughts On City Streets

 My Gaslands set up is a little unusual in that all my fights take place on the streets of Midville, USA. This leads to two big differences between the games shown on The Joy of Wargaming and most other videos – two differences that largely balance each other out. ...

Small Droppings

The littlest Gaslands project is just about ready to hit the road.  I traced the N-scale templates out onto heavy cardstock and cut out the appropriate sizes.  The thick cardstock can be bought at the local craft store cheap – the offcuts from the framing shop go for a...

Tiny Turns

 These N-scale turn templates from Litko should work fine for my 6mm Gaslands game. It is a little bit, but we can make it work....

The Littlest Gaslands

Picked up a batch of the “Mad Ron” road warrior vehicles from Irregular Miniatures on a whim.  Just look at these tiny little knights of the road: Still have to paint those motorcycles, and the big dang semi-trailer slash war-rig.  The good news is that terrain is already done. ...

Leaping Lizards!

This post is the big reveal post.  Here’s where we see exactly what the highway of death will look on the table, complete in all its miniature wargaming splendor.  Cars, terrain, the whole shebang.  This is the culmination of weeks of effort.  It’s gonna be so satisfying.  It’s gonna...

Eight Feet of Duelling Ground

Finished!  Using the wrong kind of dip meant this project took twice as long as it should have.  But now, at long last, here’s a full eight feet of Hawai’ian roadway just waiting for some auto-duelling mayhem.  Look upon my works ye mighty wargamers and despair: It’s still a...

Catch Up Time

It’s been a busy weekend what with the stuffing of the face and the last desperate gasp of football before the long dark off-season that doesn’t end until last August.  And yet, somehow, I still found time to start fixing last week’s horrible mishap with “The Dip”.  Nothing a little spray...

Road Construction Ahead

Just two quick shots of the roads in progress.  Looks like the markout crews in the 2050s are as accurate as they are today.  That red dirt looks really, really red, but these are Hawai’i roads; red is the color of most of the rich flatland soil.  So it...

Two For The Road(side)

Slapped together some stands for the billboards.  The ads were designed and printed on a standard printer then glued to each side of a…whatever you call that thick cardstock they use for mounting artwork.  It’s roughly 2mm thick and makes a great backing and decent stands for the billboards....

More Billboards

A couple of billboards ought to help break up the monotony of the autoduel patch of highway.  Keeping this a local affair I whipped up a handful of local kine ads. Things get a little complicated at this point.  Here in Hawaii, the home of your humble blogger, there’s...
