Title: 15mm Innsmouth / CoC
Post by: Oldben1 on October 31, 2019, 04:41:42 PM
As a teenager I loved pouring over books by Lovecraft, and of course the sourcebooks by CoC.  I made an Insmouth table in 28mm, but sold my buildings when I switched to 15mm.  Just in time for Halloween, I thought I would try my hand at some 15mm buildings.  In truth, these buildings might double in my Bladerunner games as well (with the proper roof fittings).  Both are scratchbuilt using brick sheets and some HO walls I picked up at a flea market.  I added some posters and broken windows too.

The Gilman House

The houses are creepier than the Unholy Beings - which is just as it is at its best in HPL. Suggest the horrors, and let half-conscious paranoia free.

Great job.
Do you have more or are you planning on doing more?
I'm pretty certain I stayed in the Gillman House when I was overseas somewhere, can't remember where...

I hope to.  I am awaiting supplies!  My goal is to build a much smaller version of my old 28mm table.  I would like a Marsh refinery, National Grocery, and some ugly harbour type ruins.

I hope your stay at the Gilman house was pleasant.  We aim to please Cthulhu!

What colours are you using to get that dark red brick?
Title: Re: 15mm Innsmouth / CoC
Post by: Oldben1 on November 04, 2019, 05:46:07 PM
Just craft paints from ART DECO.  It's actually called Brick Red  lol  I actually tried to make it orangier like your factory Ockman, but it failed miserably.  I went back to my old method.  Prime black.  drybrush red brick, drybrush red, add a little yellow and white.  More drybrush.  I then hit it with some black and brown ink washes.  Mostly furniture stain.

Here in Winnipeg, the older buildings downtown from the 1890's have a much darker red color.  It seems like the lighter more yellowy bricks came later.

Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I undercoat black, basecoat crimson red, wash with dark tone or strong tone, drybrush crimson red, adding heavy goldbrown to the mix in a couple layers.

Really loved your 28mm board, looking forward to this iteration!

I miss it too.  The plastic like and K-line buildings will probably now be impossible to find.  I had so much fun making it though.  I really enjoyed the creativity. 

Interesting how I inkwash last, and you inkwash second.  I’ll have to try that!

Post by: Ockman on November 05, 2019, 05:39:05 AM
Sometimes I add small patches of ink/wash at the final step, to create variation or break up patterns, but washing it all gives it a sheen I'm not entirely fond of...

This is one very atmospheric table. Others have commented already on the gloomy buildings which make up a major part in every good lovecraft story.

What is really amazing is how well you managed to get the dreary Trostlosigkeit of an industrial environment without going into postapoc. Chapeaux!

I grew up in the Ruhr area, Germany‘s industrial heart - long after it had reached its peak, and it is the small places, like a run down harbor, which for me were always the places that had true Lovecraftian horror.

Matchbox cars are not produ ed in a single scale, but just so big that they fit into a blister. I’ve been using them for years now, and some are small enough to be perfectly scaled for 15/18m, while others are big enough to be more on the 20mm side.

Post by: Oldben1 on December 16, 2019, 03:47:35 PM
I noticed that as well.  There are some beautiful cargo trucks in 1/48 scale that almost fit the part.  They tower over 15mm miniatures though, and I had to give them away :(.  I'm going with 1/64th scale.

I would go to HO scale vehicles they're 1/87 scale and will be much closer to scale for 15's, just check them out at your nearest railroad hobby store, just carry one of your figures to see.

Just an idea;

I think there are several AARs in the graduate studies section at Miskatonic University. Another, translated into Latin in the 9th century, is reputedly in the Vatican library of really seriously forbidden books. One may be stored behind the Ark of the Covenant in Arizona.  Two have been spotted in the Amazon jungle since they escaped from the hold of the Intrepid and killed the crew and a shoggoth....

Well the buildings are finished.  Actually I ran out of supplies to be honest.  I finished the underboard last night.  I found a nice large frame to keep it all together.  I'll post some pictures later.

I am going to use a new solo set of rules called Perilous Tales by Gasland Games.  I want some investigation as well so I will probably use some of my Bladerunner stuff as well.  Strange Aeons is also a  possibility, but with no solo rules or cards I'll probably pass on it.

Thanks for all the kind words.  I probably would have stalled out much earlier!

Those buildings look great! The brick work makes them stand out. is the brick work of your own effort or are they of HO scale sheet?

Patterned brick sheets.  I use them on everything!

I finished my cursed farm board for classics like the Dunwich Horror.  It's the reverse side of my Innsmouth board,

Any pointers on how best to build a barn like yours?  What are the dimensions?

Thanks!

This is one of my favorite threads here!  :o
I love the whole idea of gaming Lovecraft in 15mm. It allows you to include impressive architecture!

I‘m currently resurrcting my own 15mm projects and am happy that I can now get nearly every model I want thanks to 3d printing!

I agree.  I wish I had started with 15mm and stayed with it and nothing else.  Perhaps that’s why I’m trying hard to make up for lost years.  :)

We all make those mistakes, Dan. Recent years had me switching back to 28-32mm, too.
But this thread shows one thing I will never ever achieve with my monetary, spatial and time limits: create believable small worlds!

Finished off a 15mm Devil's Reef on a 12 by 12 tile.

That’s awesome. I love the ‘play set’ feel of your small playing surfaces - really speaks to the inner, obsessive miniaturist in me. I’m going to try and use your approach to play Judge Dredd solo in 15mm - just need to make the figures! lol

Keep up the good work, seeing progress like yours helps to keep me inspired when I’m making no headway of my own.

And another one of those threads that I had somehow completely missed until today ???

Excellent work. Not enough to get me to move to 15mm, but defintely enough to almost make me regret never getting into that scale lol

I'd missed this thread up until now. Reading through it: wow, some great stuff there. I love how evocative your stuff is, and there is something special about the fact that it is all in 15mm.

The reef and the new building all look great! Do you have plans to expand the reef and add more water tile to go around it for use of steamer boat or other small watercrafts.
Title: Re: 15mm Innsmouth / CoC
Post by: Oldben1 on November 06, 2023, 04:45:27 PM
I'm not sure about adding water tiles.  I'm not great at painting water!

Finally finished the smoke stacks for the refinery.
