An exhibition game for Little Wars melbourne 2010
00 Time is running out to get this done in time, so I switched into “Full Panic Mode” and drew up a project plan listing all of the tasks I had remaining and an estimate of the time I need to complete each one. I then worked out how much I can work on this […]
00 Work is progressing at a pace now that panic has set in. I have almost finished the farmyard, just need to do some windows and doors and finish off the thatching on the small shed. The dino lager is my project to complete over Easter, and by then I should also have a substantial […]
00 So after extensive experience at virtual farming, I thought I’d take up hobby farming instead. The construction is still underway at the moment – I need to do one building, finish painting the farmhouse and do its windows, as well as detailing the ground cover and other bits and pieces – but it’s almost […]
00 I’ve got the basic landforms done now and I’m just covering the foam with polyfilla and building up the cliff faces bit by bit. It’s coming along pretty well, but i am behind schedule and am starting to look for places where I can take short cuts to save time. As usual with me, […]
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 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 […]
