Crooked Dice: 7TV: Apocalypse Salute Demo Board
« on: February 07, 2018, 06:15:23 PM »
David Marshall of TMTerrain has been building me a new board to run participation games of 7TV: Apocalypse due out later this year. It's 6x4 with a camp along a cliff edge made from the classic Pardulon shanty and scrap walls that Crooked are now the proud owners of.

http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product-category/post-apocalyptic/

Here's David's report as he started the main build:

PART ONE
I have started laying out the 28mm post apocalyptic settlement for the Crooked Dice demo game for their new game. The final board will be 6ft x4ft but this board is 4x2. It is full of the resin sets that Crooked Dice sell. They are very flexible so I have been able to design all sorts of different shaped dwellings.
The big tipper truck is from Figurebitz. That has been fun to paint and pimp.

I am pleased how the resin looks old and rusty. I just airbrushed loads of different colours onto it with the odd dry brush in between. I will do a final dry brush near the end to blend it into the landscape.

I have more resin to add and the settlement extends onto the next board but there will still be lots of open space to run around in buggies shooting things!















PART TWO
Today I have been working on the Crooked Dice Post apocalyptic board. I have been able to paint the base coat on the Crooked Dice board. It will be a desert look in the end so I need a couple more highlights on it to make it look right.





PART THREE
I have been playing around with the camera today getting a few shots of Crooked Dice’s post apocalyptic settlement.










Something Crooked this way comes...

To make something that looks so random and chaotic actually requires careful planning as well as great skill. This is looking most impressive.

It's not big, or clever, but let's do it anyway

A great board, Sir! The barracks look very authentic, not so full of colours. More rust and old. I love your boards.
