I love those two updates. Poor trigger though :(

The robot head scatter is great and is exactly the sort of thing I want to do for my table when I can go out and look for broken toys at car boot sales

Thanks EndTransmission
The Robot head is a squashed garden light,
I just thought it looked like a mechanical T-rex.
You can spot the wargamer in the supermarket,
he is the one holding the yogurt pot upside down,
trying to figure out what he can make out of it.

Great looking scenery as always. I told my wife I had been talking to you, and she said - is he the one that can take a bottle top and turn it into a space ship. I said yep, that's the one. She says - see I do remember some things.

Thanks Zingara, and Mrs Zingara.

For today's  'Ruined Temple' you will need:-
2 x Old discarded CDs,
3 x Broken playing pieces,
some scraps of card (I use off-cuts from other work),
a bit of filler, some glue, a sprinkling of sawdust
 & whatever paint you have spare.

Thanks Chimpfoot, nice to get positive feedback.

Attached was most definitely NOT made by me, it came up as my
screen-saver, which randomly changes.
However it is what my wargames room will look like,
well it might if I will big time on the lottery.

Some GW 40k bits lying at the bottom of a box.
Based them up on some flower shaped ply, which I
got from The Works before lock-down. They make
useful bases for things like these 'plants'.
I don't know what GW sell them as, but in my games
they are a form of plant. I see them as an additional
hazard to players & most definitely carnivorous.

Tyranid nodes.  I cast loads of them and they feature all over my mid bases as well as scenery.

Talking of which, after the lockdown, you must remind me but I have a lot of cast 40k scale barrels which didn’t quite make the grade for my defensive positions.

I used them for ammoo dumps etc Like these


You are welcome to them if you want them.   I also have a large box of parts from GW building kits if it’s of use to your school club?

Yes please. All donations to the school wargames club are appreciated.
Tyranid nodes you say, that makes sense. I have (somewhere) undone Tyranids.
When I find them I must paint them up.

Some of the LED light casings from PoundLand (see earlier post)
Now turned into Hesco type barriers. With some other clutter.
Done up for a friend who is doing conflict in Syria.

& some more.
See 'Spectre game. Middle east.' Posted by Flatpack for an idea of the
kind of setting that they might get used in.
See my page 17, for what the 'Hesco' barriers looked like when bought
from Poundland.

The Billboard posters follow how I did them for my friend's WW2 buildings.
They are stuck to thick card, and are to be (temporarily) attached to the
buildings with small balls of Blu-Tac.
Bits other than the 'Hesco' barriers come from a kiddies traffic set, repurposed
for action as concrete traffic obstacles & instructions.

My first unit for the fight against Senor Digits & his massive French army.
Spanish Militia. The figures are Eagle.
More pictures on 'Venta De Pantalones- The Anglo-Portuguese'
(i.e. not just 'Venta De Pantalones' which will show you Digit's fantastic French.
Worth a look, but remember they are the enemy!)
