00 I bought the base for the game table today and thought it might be a good idea to spread out all of the terrain pieces on it – to get a feel for their placement in the landscape. It brought home just how much work I still have to do on this to be […]
00 “Metal Tail” It’s a (somewhat cynical) term I have heard used by staff of a large gaming company to describe a range of models that supports a ruleset. The metal tail in this case is quite literal however. I went away on a vacation for a few days before Christmas and when I returned, […]
00 I have been working on the castle over the past month or so, but progress has been slow due to a strange lethargy that has been hanging over me. I can’t explain it, but I’ve just had no energy for so many things that I have committed to, and they all languished in the […]
00 The Jurassic Reich table is to be divided by a small river that is crossed by two bridges. The river is impassable by vehicles but can be crossed by infantry and dinosaurs. The first bridge is high up the hill near the entrance to the castle and spans a deep gorge. As such, it […]
00 Well, I have discovered exactly how addictive Facebook is. For the past month I have been hooked on the damned site and its simple but highly playable Flash games like Farmville. Damn! “Spodding” at its worst – to waste time doing something that is ultimately useless while you should be doing something else. Time […]
00 The Last Alliance website (www.thelastalliance.com) suffered a major blow last month when the hosting company took the drastic steps of deleting the source-code and database backups. Not 100% sure of the reasons for their behaviour but I can make some guesses. Anyway, there are a couple of thousand LOTR gamers who feel betrayed and […]
00 Patiently waiting upon my doorstep last night was a large brown parcel. I knew what it was as soon as I saw it and rushed it inside in a state of child-like excitement. Inside was “Space Hulk” – a 20th anniversary re-release of Games Workshop’s classic miniatures board game. The package weighs in at […]
00 Very much a Work-In-Progress, so excuse the crappy paint job etc. Lot’s to do still – I had hoped to get it finished this month, but it turned out larger than I was expecting and I ran out of time, so it will spill into September now. Good job I’m a bit further along […]
00 I am actively working on two terrain projects at the moment, one is the Jurassic Reich table and the other is a 3D gaming table for a totally cool game called Incursion. I have some WIP shots elsewhere in the blog, but these are the latest pictures – hot off the camera.
00 The beauty of this whole Jurassic Reich table is that I can switch from one model to another and avoid the boredom factor that usually plagues me with large projects. So for the month of August I have been concentrating on the smaller models that will be scattered about the valley below the castle […]
