Good to see you found your way to here too, Christopher. Welcome at a fun place! I really liked your buildings on your blog, but these photos are bigger and show them better.

:o
Wow!
Welcome to the forum.
And don't hesitate to post more photos... those are stunning!

Love that saloon. Those short horizontal boards between the uprights. Don't think I've seen that before. Very nice.

Ty guys for the reception. :)

Ty and yes it's a nice place.I don't have much that fits into this forum just yet,but what I really like is this new subject matter here.Several topics open up whole new possibilities to explore ones imagination with things like Atlantis,Weird WWII and other pulp subjects that never really occurred to me.Modeling ideas and exploration ideas have just been realized! :)Only problem is I already have 10,000+ other projects I'm working on or interested in!I'm hopeless! lol
Cheers

Very nice looking figures, buildings and terrain. Do you also game? If so, which rules do you use?
How did you do your signs? Do you paint the paper, print the lettering,that kind of stuff? I have to make signs for my buildings and I am still trying to figure out the best way to do it. Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
By the way...welcome to LAF.
Regards,

Now that's just great!
I like how you base all the scenery items and accessories. Looks good, and is easy to move about (I didn't do nthat with my 28mm western town, and end up pouring detail items out of a box and long set ups :( )
That marshall's office, the saloon, everything, is just great!
Christopher, you should add a colonial game into your repetoie (sp?), we can always use great terrain makers on the Colonial Board. Darkest Africa, it's your future! lol
-
Darkest Africa, it's your future! Laugh
Ty for the nice words,but Darkest Africa just hasn't grabbed me.......yet! lol

If I remember right on these I used water downed ink wash that you apply like painting in other words use controlled application and not just wipe the whole area.I hope this helps. :)

Very nicely done Christopher, though I should have expected no less having seen your WAB figures :D
Welcome to the mayhem too ;)

Ahhh Hello,
TY and it's very nice to see you here as well! :D

Hehe, I wouldnt get them for Aztec gmes ;). They seemed fine for VSF though it was my first game. There does seem to be a lot of tables and needs for stats etc as it is a small skirmish game with a battles supplement, so I think tables save lots of dice rolling but took a while to get my head around it. That and there was lots of stuff with custom build automatons, walkers and steam wagons etc each with their own stats.
Under normal circumstances it uses 3 units olus a couple of heroes and a handful of manchines per side. As far as I understand it you could need a goodly few of the books which doesnt work out too cheap if you havent tried before buying.

I saw them on a board representing native people of Atlantis.That's why I mentioned it.

Oh really,I just saw the rule book and didn't know they had supplements as well.Still,it seems interesting as do many topics here! lol
I just opened up a thread to ask questions about it on the VSF section of the forum.

Darn tootin! The whole lot look fantastic :)
I am looking forward to seeing your terrain for some of your other interests (mainly the sci-fi ones).
-

Thatīs awesome! Great buildings!!!

Ty guys. :)

If you mean by weird WWII and Victorian Sci Fi then I might do a few things,but straight Sci Fi I have no plans......yet! lol
