All this talk about Salute is well and good but have you made a decision about Derby yet?

Righto! Almost all of the terrain is finished for the Dalek game, so I thought I'd share the build and WIP pics of Exley Airfield - a WW2 Allied airfield.

Here's my initial drawing - some ideas have been tweaked a bit, but the main elements remain:

BASE BOARDS
David of TM Terrain is just putting the final touched to the base boards, but here are the build pics:

And here it is painted and weathered and nearly finished. Thanks to Jens over at Pardulon for advice on materials as this was inspired by his urban boards. Grass still needs to be added to the darker areas. They are also a number of drill holes in the board to pop in some trees.

The bunker had to be adapted a bit for budget and size, but again David did a cracking job:

And the final build:

BUILDINGS
And here are the main buildings produced by Darren Couch of Black Knight Studios. Darren has provided builds for me for a long while and produced last year's oil rig. He's pulled out all the stops again this year for the central hangar, barracks and air traffic control tower:

Central Hangar

And these last two show the Dalek Saucer and the internal gantry. Marines used for scale!

Barracks
There are three of these - final positions will probably shift a bit.

Air Traffic Control tower
I love this one - there's some great detailing!

DALEK SAUCER
This is simply a repaint of a Pegasus Saucer - only £15. The green glass comes as standard with the kit.

Scatter terrain
There are few extra bits of scatter produced for the game including this Pardulon bunker and some sandbags. Thanks to Dags for pjs on these.

David has also built the radar array, but I haven't had a chance to take an pics yet. Lovely piece though.

I'll be receiving Darren's buildings in the next couple of days and David is on the last stretch of the base board builds. Once I have it all together I'll do some test set-ups and take some more photos to show how it all comes together.

Absolutely Breathtaking stuff. The air traffic control tower and the hanger are beautiful. Can't wait to see it in the flesh

Cheers! A lot of credit for the hangar has to go to Overlord - as it's based entirely on the footprint of his Geezers warehouse that we used for last years game.

Fabulous!

This will be great to see at Salute – can I put my name down now for a game please?

Truly beautiful work. Going to be a very impressive board! Wish I was in the neighborhood--would love to see it in person!

Sangennaru - apologies! A huge amount of thanks needs to go to David at TM Terrain and Darren Couch of Black Knight Studios.

Darren's current site seems to be down, but here is a link to his Photobucket page:

Well, if that doesn't win the "Best Game" award I'll be deeply shocked

TheMightyFlip · « **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2011, 08:04:28 AM »

Great stuff, though thanks to those scale shots, Im wanting to play a game of WW2 British against Space marines now

Thunderchicken · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2011, 01:00:00 PM »

Wow!

Doomsdave · « **Reply #28 on:** April 01, 2011, 01:46:51 PM »

Is the tower home-made as well.

That is just amazing and the weathering on that hangar is fantastic.

Tremendous!

Oddly, the cracked runway made me think immediately of The Avengers episode, "The Hour That Time Forgot".
