Florian, these are excellent shots, I'd love to have a sprawling board like yours!

What did you keep and what did you toss? Did you give anything away or did you litterary toss it?

Thank you very much. The board saw a lot of action. Often we just set up models in a way we thought looked cool and then diced it of from this situation while we had a couple of beers and relaxed after work  lol

I did give a few models to my gaming buddy (he was rather keen to get his hands on the matchbox model that looked very much like a 15mm version of the Rogue Trader orgus flyer); i threw away a lot of my unfinished terrain and sadly I alos threw a Mars board made on rather heavy and barely transportable wooden planks.

Most of my terrain in these pictures is still stored in boxes and hopefully survived rather good. We have found a bigger place by now and want to move in in October...

Sometimes it is like that, some pieces won't be finished anyway, some pieces are just too big/hard to transport. I gave away a huge factory complex in 28mm that I built for 7TV, which I never painted, last time I moved.

I hope that you'll move to a place where you'll be able to have a proper hobby space with the ability to put up a board filled with your wonderful terrain!

Yes, you are probably right. Still, I didnt loke it. Thank goodness, in the new place (finally a proper house!), I will have a real hobby room and wont need to store my stuff between books, my working desk and all kinds of not-hobby stuff.

Here is another couple of pictures of my old tabletop.

And two more.

In the background you can still see our old living room that got frequently "reinterpreted" for my very own version of A Dune/2000 AD/40k mashup.

Lovely pictures, it makes me happy to see your setup.

And it's great to hear that you'll move to a proper house, with space for your hobby!

And since I am currently on a trip through old phones picture directories, here are some older pictures when I had a go at painting (and repainting) Star Trek models.

First a stand off between a Galaxy class and some bulky but old Klingon cruiser.

Second: Starfleet coming to the rescue.

Third: a detachment of Romulan battleships

The centrepiece of the whole thing was an old model of a starfleet science base. According to the Enterprise model that was in the set, the rest of the ships are pretty much on scale.

Details on that Galaxy class. It was a prepainted Japanese (?) model. Much better than the shitty wizkid stuff. I just black primed and repainted it without bothering to strip off the paint.

I like it a lot. Just makes you want to have a 2mm Picard model as well! lol

Romulan warbirds.

These are repainted models from the collection sold by Eaglemoss in magazines. Amazing models and again much truer to scale than the official gaming pieces by wizkid. Which is a bloody shame!

The Eaglemoss Warbirds are really nice. Here is the original next to a prestage and a finished repaint.


And so,e more game/action shots. They are even a match for the future enterprise and should be spot on for the wizkid mini.

At that time my wife had a playing mat as a birthday present and it looked awesome.

Here are my warbirds and an intrepid class starship (Voyager) on it next to a plastic sphere painted as a class M-planet.
