started on the plane wreck for scene 2:

1. Take 1 intact Pulp looking plane (model is "A Lockheed 10 Electra" by SkyPilot found on ebay for $10)

2. Hack wing and tail off, scratch up and bend props with soldering iron to simulate crash damage

3. Cut up some mdf to base bits on

4. Spakfiller terrain on base

Thanks for the reply about the 9" tiles.
Your answer makes perfect sense.

Great start on the plane wreck.
I have that exact toy for my pulp hero's ride as well and hope it doesn't end up the way yours has.

Very inspirational thread.
I look forward to more.
Thanks!

OK peoples I have to admit there's no need to panic I still have a working spare of the plane

Here's a few shots of the next stage downed version - very weathered and dusty as it is for a desert map:

Will add some more loose wires, black oil/smoke stains etc but for now just trying to churn out some basic pieces!

Looking at the board for scene 2 it looked a bit empty despite palm trees, oasis and plane wreckage so I decided to add a few tents/lean to's into the mix...

IMG_0637 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

I made these with some .7mm wire and kitchen paper towel dipped in PVA water mix, draped over the frame and then once dry painted and drybrushed. They were very quick and easy to make I just tore paper towel and am sure of you wanted to measure and cut it exactly you could get more symmetrical ones. I think it looks kinda pulpy as is - the texture of the paper towel adds an interesting element...

So the board will look something like this - may still need a hill or something?

Scene 2 will start the next morning after the characters have travelled from Cairo to the site arriving late at night. The factions will wake up to find the wreckage and other factions in front of them with clues etc to search.

Excellent stuff, both the plane and the tents/leans. Do you happen to have that same plane as intact version as well? So that you can get the adventurers airborne in one "episode" and end it with a big crash... starting next one with the plane crash scenario.

I'd just like to say, your Cairo board looks fantastic, but I really love that Sphinx, especially the broken up one!!

This is a seriously good thread to follow for inspiration.

Will be checking back regularly for a an update and a 'fix'.
Thank you!

Great ideas for both the tents and the broken up airplane.

Was walking past local petstore the other day and found these 2 beauties in the aquarium section:

IMG_0674 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

If I was being picky they could use a bit of drybrushing at some stage to get rid of the small green bit on side of head if I get the chance but really they are great as is - in fact 1 has already starred in our first Pulp game even hosting a plot point on the top - see thread here http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=49114.0 which shows back shot of it...

A few work in progress 28mm minis in front for scale...

Pulpthulhu · « **Reply #40 on:** December 28, 2012, 06:52:28 AM »

Speaking of plot points I found some great ones for an Egyptian based Pulp scenario/campaign - look at Crocodile Games and their AEgyptus line (Icons and artifacts - https://www.crocodilegames.com/store/itemList.cfm?catID=23&sort=prodID)...

Mine turned up in the mail the morning of our first game so a very rushed job to get them together in time - quick black base spray, gold paint job and basing and voila...

IMG_0669 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

Just based on 20mm bases with a bit of spakfiller base coated black and dry brushed desert sand colour. Senior Ferrari for scale and yes that could be the Ark of the Covenant!

Another part of my Crocodile Games order included some minis I will use for random encounters/perils/plot points to mix things up.

3 Scorpions and sinister Fu Manchu type piece for scale (from the amazing http://pulpfigures.com)

IMG_0670 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

4 Cobras and Indy type piece for scale ("Snakes why did it have to be snakes?!")...

IMG_0672 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

Again these were all very quickly painted to get them on the table in time - both sets had a base coat of black and then brown drybrush, with additional dry brush yellow bands and spots on the Cobras...

d phipps · « **Reply #42 on:** December 29, 2012, 07:03:10 AM »

I'm really liking all those extra bits you've collected. And using them for plot point was a great idea!

Thanks for posting.

Been working on some more scenery bits and pieces...

My order finally arrived from Scotia Grendal and have to say I am impressed by their pieces especially the centre one below:

IMG_0684 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

The photos and crap lighting don't do it justice the centre piece is great and will add sense of scale/height to the game board...

They all came up well with just minor flash trimming required, a wash in soapy water, base coat and dry brush:

IMG_0694 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

I might paint up some of the hieroglyphics and statues a little but still undecided - they look great just as is sandstone weathered type effect.

You can order the pieces here http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=eb35c5c904d0eb0f17cf1a6cd952778f&keyword=egypt)

Have been casting out of the molds I made earlier in the thread so painted up a few squares to see how they'd look:

IMG_0699 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

- think they might need to be lighter still so minis pop out more again crap lighting makes them seem darker than they actually are...

And combining the 2 just to see how I could set things up...

IMG_0698 by Pulpthulhu, on Flickr

A nice temple entrance...

pocoloco · « **Reply #44 on:** January 10, 2013, 05:09:14 PM »

Very nice indeed!

Planning on doing proper indoors for the temple as well?
