Title: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Rabbitz on 30 June 2009, 05:25:39 AM: Ok first off I appologise for those who have seen these before.
I was doing a bit of a tidy up in the wargames room and decided to take a few pictures. Anyway i thought I would post them on here with a few other pictures I have of my stuff, so I can keep it all in the one place.

28mm Samurai Castle
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Samcas.jpg)

Terrain Boards i made for helldorado (they can be moved around for different set ups.) Im guessing they could also be used for a wierd chaos setting.

28mm Roman style Villa
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/rom.jpg)

My Olde World buildings (the missing roofs are almost finished) and one off my terrain boards in the background.
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter1.jpg)

Trees. I have made loads of these but a tree is a tree so no point in taking loads of pictures of them.
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter2.jpg)

28mm Masaka Japanese Patrol Aeronef. (Victorian Science Fiction Flying ship)
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter3.jpg)

Just in case you thought the Masaka was big, this is a small frigate. Also for my Japanese Fleet. Yes I know its not finished yet.
(If anyone is at all interested I also have a Prussian fleet in 28mm)
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter4.jpg)

A selection of floating Islands (this time in 1/1200 scale) For when our Aeronef mass battle games.
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter5.jpg)

A selection of Arabic / North African style buildings
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ter6.jpg)

My Scrap Yard buildings
(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks1B.jpg)

(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks2B.jpg)

(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks3B.jpg)

(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks4B.jpg)

(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks5B.jpg)

(http://www.hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/Shacks6B.jpg)

Some Goblinoid tents
(http://hutchs-wargames.co.uk/images/ten.jpg)

Most of the terrain I make ends up getting sold at the bring and buy held at the NWS and usually before I even get to use it in a game. I am just addicted to making stuff really.

Cheers and thanks for looking

Hutch

Post by: Sinewgrab on 30 June 2009, 07:38:03 AM: I have to know what you made the Hell Dorado boards with. That is supremely covered in awesome sauce. Please entertain us with a synopsis of construction, so we may revisit it in our own homes.

Rabbitz... you are an inspiration for all!

5mm MDF bases cut to size and covered with bits of broken up 5mm thick cork floor tiles. The alien egg type things are just the top parts of coke bottles, slightly melted and with stripes of hot glue from a glue gun. The 'teeth'on them are just the ends of cocktail sticks. Painted black and then drybrushed. Red and purple ink added here and there to break up the gray.

The whole lot took less then a day to make.

Fantastic selection of work there. I'm very impressed!

Post by: Captain Blood on 30 June 2009, 09:47:55 AM: Yes, that's one heck of a collection. You must have a big house! ;)
Keep building. Great stuff.

Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: marko.oja on 30 June 2009, 10:44:16 AM: Inspiring stuff - I only hope that I had room to do something similar. My favourites were the Helldorado board and especially the Roman villa :)

Post by: cianty on 30 June 2009, 12:32:50 PM: Wow, and double wow!! So much goodness! :o

I love the atmospheric Hell Dorado table. That's just crazy! But the rest is also great and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Post by: Cosmotiger on 01 July 2009, 02:38:36 PM: They're all really nice, but I think the floating islands are really cool. That's such a great bit of VSF scenery.
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Barry S on 01 July 2009, 02:53:22 PM: Some pretty impresive stuff there Rabbitz.

So, you just break the tile, rather than cut it, I assume? That is still the awesome. I am going steal your idea whole sale, but paint it in my Mars ground colors.

Post by: Bako on 01 July 2009, 10:08:10 PM: All are very excellent! But I swear, I've seen a miniature villa just like that one in a friend's closet back in Alberta. It had a decorated interior as well. I really like your scrap town as well.
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Onebigriver on 02 July 2009, 01:44:58 AM: All great stuff, I find the scraptown stuff inspirational. I'm looking to make some urban terrain for Urban War, something along the lines of the ruins of Stalingrad crossed with Necromunda, so I've saved these pics!
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Sterling Moose on 02 July 2009, 02:58:20 AM: Great work :o :o :o

Love the scrapyard buildings and the aeronef fleet best of all!!

:o you MADE these???? :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

could we have some sort of tutorial please???
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Onebigriver on 02 July 2009, 06:33:43 PM: I second Panzerfaust, those trees look great!
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Bako on 03 July 2009, 06:15:39 AM: Those look like they were made woth rubberized horse hair covered in flocking material afterward.

thats exactly what they are
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Bako on 03 July 2009, 07:56:40 AM: Indeed. I like that idea, still looking for the rubberized horse hair though!
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: thejammedgatling on 03 July 2009, 08:01:51 AM: Have kids!

That'll slow you down. Worked for me.

I still think we need to game that Helldorado board with VSF stuff. Moving lava flows...sinking clanks...hideous spiders popping out of those crags. You can never have enough spiders.
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: thejammedgatling on 03 July 2009, 08:02:38 AM: Oh, and nice stuff!
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Paul Hicks on 03 July 2009, 08:03:52 AM: What a fantastic collection. So would love the time to build one of those VSF flyers.

What about the trees themselves?
Title: Re: Im addicted to building things :
Post by: Bako on 04 July 2009, 02:31:20 AM: They look like sticks or dowels with a controlled use of hot glue gun glue for the roots. I could be wrong though.
