00 The castle gatehouse is coming along at a pleasing pace. As it progresses I am getting a clearer picture of how much effort is needed to build this table and, yes, once again I have bitten off much more than time will allow me to chew! So I’ve begun to set myself daily tasks […]
00 July is going to be the month I spend working on the castle gatehouse. I will alternate between the castle and other smaller terrain features for this game table, in order to keep the interest levels up (it’s so easy to get bored witha big project). The plan is to get the Gatehouse completed […]
00 Work on the barracks is progressing at quite a pace! I am being unusally productive – normally I take ages to build anything, but this one seems to be taking shape incredibly quickly. Here are a couple of shots of it nearing completion. I’ll post more shots when it’s finished too. The roof is […]
00 The Jurassic Reich table is progressing very nicely at the moment and I think I’m ahead of where I’d like to be at the end of June. The castle has been put to the side while I get some of the smaller projects out of the way. I’ve finished a sentry box and road […]
00 My first finished piece of terrain for the Jurassic Park demo game. I made the sentry box a week or so ago but put it on a base last night and painted it up. It can be used for any WWII game in the European Theatre since these sentry boxes were found all over […]
00 I did these over the past few days… I’ve also made a master model of a 6″ x 4″ section of rough stone wall, which I will make a mould from and cast up several times to do the wall surfaces of the castle. It’ll save me an enormous amount of time and effort […]
00 Nope, it’s an enclosure for dinosaurs in the game of Jurassic Reich. I thought I might get some of the small models out of the way first so I can concentrate on the castle and landscaping and not have to rush these other things at the end. So last night I started working on […]
00 … but I hope I don’t offend anyone by these: Had a bit of fun with Photoshop over the past couple of days. I just thought it might be a cool idea to do some promotional images for the game using actual wartime propaganda or war bonds posters, but with a dinosaur theme. What […]
00 Been working on the main gatehouse over the past few days and it’s really starting to take shape. I’ve merged elements of Teutonic medieval architecture into the original Corvin Castle design to try to make it more German than Romanian, but still keeping its essential spookiness. The strong vertical lines and deep shadows are […]
00 Took delivery of some more Incursion models: 3 APEs – the flamer, a grunt and Sarge, as well as the German Blitzhund and a stack of Sturmzombies (thanks Jim, excellent service above and beyond the call of duty). That just leaves Slugger Murphy and Ilsa and Otto von X from my collection. It’ll be […]
