1/56 'Village' Ready For Action
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:51:52 AM »
Hi All,

Finally have my war torn 1/56 village ready for some game play! Now to breakout the figures and rules!

"Little Tinkle on the River Wee"...





Full details on the Village of Little Tinkle including fluff are on my Blog...

I was about to say 'haven't we seen Little Tinkle?', then realized just their volunteers.  ;)

Have you plans to 'scorch it up' a bit? At least the damaged?

Also, I don't recognize the 'cobble lane' or 'yard'; care to share?

Handsome little place. My heart goes out to the poor inhabitants...  lol

Very Nice. What are you using for roads?

Hey All,

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen!

I wasn't sure where terrain gets posted as there's no specific forum here but since I'll be using this for my VSF stuff I put it here...

Beast, yeah there will be 'dirtying up' of the buildings especially the damaged ones eventually but as usual just completing stuff is my first priority weathering always comes a very poor second. I even kept a lot of the MDF bits from the building kits where the tab holes are as they look brick size so I plan to make some brick/rubble heaps with them. The cobbling is just an image I found on the net which I shrunk to sort of 1/56 scale replicated it over and over again and then printed, I can PM you the image if you want.

Von Lucky, the trees are from Ebay, with cheap Chinese labour and free shipping they were very economical, I made the bases.

Teld, the roads are not really designed as roads I just liked the look of the stuff which is called: YORKSHIRE STONE FLOOR MODELLING SHEET - MSP218 and made by Model Scenery. The packets have a website on them modelscenery.com (I didn't add this as a link as its never worked for me just search the product name). They make a range of different patterned sheets made out of a material that is pretty cool as you can heat and form it and it will retain the formed shape, very nifty! I'm boring and use it for my 1/56 sealed roads.

Cheers!

 :D

I actually meant the road when I said 'cobble lane.'

The 'yard' did have that tiled image look. You might try rotating every other tile if you wanted it to look a little less regular, but that's 'do as I say' not 'as I've never done.'  lol

Very poor second is just that; you've a table I'd be proud to have my figures die-in-droves upon.  ;)

Doug
