Big Time Terrain

One of the things that I’m trying to do with my wargaming is keep everything compact.  This post details one of the reasons for that. When I jumped back into the hobby, I really didn’t look very hard.  I just bought up a couple sheets of foamcore and a...

Sneak Peek

One Box Car Wars is essentially complete.  All that’s left to do now is play the game.  There’s always the temptation to go back and add just one more thing, or to tinker with it just a little more, so don’t be surprised to see a few more autoduel...

Kid’s Stuff

Time to start introducing this little hobby to the boy.  A few weeks ago, he got a box of Warhammer 40K figs to practice on, but I can’t let him have all the fun.  Tonight, we glued them together in whatever way seemed cool.  Here are our results, sans paint. Warhammer players...

Smoke ‘Em if You Got ‘Em

More dropped weapons today.  This time it’s the smokescreens first previewed here.  First up, a distant shot to show what they look like from a distance, and then a close up view of the texture. As always, click images for more details. These are scraps of soft, but stiff, packing...

Up For Use

If anyone out there in internet land wants to use a few of my billboard designs…here you go.  I can’t imagine anyone really wants to use the Hawaii or Kailua one, but heck, Uncle Albert is a classic, and who couldn’t use Gold Cross?  All I ask in return...

The Box Within A Box

Not a lot of time today, so here’s a quick shot of my space saving solution.  In order to keep it all in one box, I tuck my pedestrians into the bunker.  Appropriately enough, the safest place for them in transit is also the safest place for them in...

Ready to Paint the Arena Red

Here they are, the ten pedestrians ready to bail out of their cars and run for safety.  These were painted in a rush – 1 hour total for the lot of them.  I used The Dip method of painting, so they look a lot more grubby than I had...

More Shameless Commerce

Keeping with the local Hawaii flavor, 808 Armor is Hawaii’s largest independent armor importer and installation service provider.  They also sponsor the weekly amateur night.  But their community support doesn’t end with the Hawaii Autoduel scene. They also founded and run the Adopt a Mutant Foundation.  Remember, folks, for...

Revenue Streams

You’re probably going to have to click on those pictures to get a better look at the billboards.  I realized this past week that something was missing from my arena – something to give it the look of a true sports facility and not just a random parking lot....

Pedestrians Double Crossing

On those rare special occasions when your driver actually walks away from a wreck, you need a figure for the other cars’ aim.  Caesar Miniatures sells a box of Modern Militia (Asian and Somali Militia) that should serve just fine.  A lot of these guys are obviously Arab terrorist types with...
