Title: An Old Chinese Warehouse
Post by: Howard Whitehouse on December 18, 2007, 04:40:12 AM: I was commissioned to make something for a wargamer with a lot of my Chinese buildings already in his colleciton. I decided on a decrepit looking warehouse: see what you think of it! H

Post by: Howard Whitehouse on December 18, 2007, 01:47:43 PM: I did it for $100, plus shipping and insurance. It doesn't weigh that much (being foamcore and corrugated card on a Masonite base) - H

That's good money. I wish there were more rich people wargaing in Scandinavia so I could become rich making scenery. Fiver, son of hammershield, needs money for his imperial retinue, you know.

3 or 5 mm foamcore?

If you feel up to it, start making some and offering them on Ebay - you might just hit a spot in the market....

Post by: Howard Whitehouse on December 19, 2007, 12:25:07 AM: The foamcore is pretty standard in N. America -- I think that it's about 5mm thick, although it doesn't say so on the sticker. I have had some thinner stuff from an art supply house once, but this is the 'cheap and widely available' variety. H

Warehouse.

I must learn to read thread titles properly. :oops:

It's very good, anyway. Nice work!
Title: The Chinese Warehouse
Post by: Leapsnbounds on December 27, 2007, 03:53:21 AM: Well, I just gotta ask, do the the roofs lift off. If so, this is really fantastic. It would be a great place to stash the drugs.
Title: An Old Chinese Warehouse
Post by: Howard Whitehouse on December 28, 2007, 12:55:43 AM: Yes, the roofs do come off. I think that a building designed for 28mm skirmish gaming should have accessible interiors - the bigger building has a narrow loft that runs around the upper part, so that defenders can shoot out of the windows - as anyone must surely want to!

I did not include any drugs when I mailed it to its new owner. That seemed a bad idea. He can provide his own opium -- H
