It’s a travel week for me, and that means no update on my late, lamented project.  Time to cut my losses and move on from the car wars highway.  While I figure out what to do next, here’s a quick shot of my son’s latest acquisition: Warhammer 40K Cadian...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hope the suspense didn’t kill you.  If it did, then the fact that you’re reading this post is very troubling.    So here are my latest terrain tiles.  Those of you who have been following this blog won’t be surprised to learn that these tiles are destined to become...

Should I put real money down on AK-47?  That’s the question I’ve been asking myself since this past weekend’s test drive.  It took an hour to play the first turn of the game.  Part of that is the process of figuring out rules for the first time.  Part of...

Before jumping headlong into the AK-47 Republic game, I put together a basic ‘test drive kit’ using plain cardboard marked up with markers.  A few big irregular chunks for terrain, and me and my son were off to the races. Now that’s budget terrain. The main event featured a People’s...
