Back to Square Six

After another fine night of drybrushing, we’re almost back to where we were before the varnish.  I’m really not at all happy with the way those shoulders no longer line up, but at this point it’s probably not worth the effort to re-do these highways yet again. Those are...

More Local Kine Terrain

As mentioned previously, these aren’t just any roads, they are local kine Hawaiian-style roads.  Red dirt, local signs, and of course, palm trees: Stolen straight from the kids’ dinosaur toy collection.  The gray stuff is kitty litter stuck on with thinned out white glue. With the same color spray...

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...

Whoops!

The state highways looked a bit cartoonish, what with the too bright colors.  The plan called for a dark stain that would seal the gravel, protect the paint, and tone down those colors.  The plan failed: Those turned out way darker than anticipated.  Looks like they need a few...

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....

Mystery Revealed!

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...

New Project – The Suspenseful Post

Ahhh, the sweet, sweet anticipation of a project not yet fully planned, not yet begun, and not yet totally screwed up. Gimme a little time on that third one.  After a bit of fol-de-rol at the hardware store, I managed to get 8 tiles of 12″ by 12″ pressed...

Packing It In

Three posts in three days!  Woot!  Gotta love those three day weekends. It’s also fun to have things to show you guys that you haven’t seen yet.  Wish it happened more often.  Here it is – the whole shooting match. All nine square-feet of real estate can be tucked...

Gamer’s Eye View of the City

Merry Christmas!  My own little gift to you is a few shots of my completed cityscape.  Check this bad boy out.  Nine square feet of battleground ready for armies of little plastic warriors.  Of course, if you have more table to fill, and you have a ice gray drop...
