Title: Some pulp fun
Post by: theoldschool on January 01, 2013, 11:42:58 AM
Some of the photos I took for the new Pulp Alley rules. The rules have a real pulp feel and are great fun. Definitely worth checking out http://www.pulpalley.com/

Thanks for the kind comments. The buildings are card from WorldWorks Games. I print onto Matte Photo paper and mount onto 3mm foam board. The windows and doors are recessed to give the building more of a 3D look. The interior shots use 7TV Set Designer from Crooked Dice mounted on 5mm black foam board. Set Designer has some fantastic textures..

We’re so lucky to have oldschool’s expertly painted miniatures and beautiful photos in the Pulp Alley book, but his contributions went far beyond that.

His experience and vast knowledge of proof-reading, editing, and layout were also invaluable.

And even beyond this, his insight and passion for the hobby led to many welcomed debates regarding rules – which made our little game even better.

I am eternally thankful for his contributions, and proud to call him a friend.



THANKS!

Great work!

Lovely paintwork on the minis and you have really brought out the best of the paper scenery.
Great camera pointing too.
Very atmospheric.

Lovely work with Set Designer! :)

Thanks Karl, but most of the credit has to go to Set Designer, it's great to work with and a steal at the price  :) An absolute must have for anyone interested in spy-fi or pulp.

You are far too kind. Thanks to Wolf Girl's work the editing/proof-reading was a pleasure - for a change  ;)

What is set designer?

Set Designer is a collection of printable interiors designed by Kevin Dallimore for Crooked Dice http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product/set-designer/

Print out and glue to 5mm black foam-board for hours of spy-fi and pulpy fun  :) Great for secret lairs and fiendish laboratories.

The buildings are from the old Downtown set, unfortunately this is no longer in production. However, the Swiftscenics range uses much the same textures. Here is the link
http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=catalog&cat_id=1&system_id=7

Avoid the TLX range if you want to mount onto foam board. It can be done, but takes a long time in Photoshop to get it to work.

Fat Dragon also does some cracking buildings in their Capital City range http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/modern.  The base set is the best.

If you are reasonably comfortable with card modelling the best buildings by a country mile are produced by Clever Models http://www.clevermodels.net superb models.

Thanks

Were the WWG you used pdfs? Perhaps I can contact them ?

The WWG buildings all come in PDF format. I do tend to take them apart and reconstruct  them using  elements from different models and companies. The Fox Brothers frontage was put together in Photoshop using WWG and Fat Dragon along with some of my own original artwork.

I find that the WWG buildings are slightly over scale for 28mm (I think they are nominally O scale) so I print at 80% which brings them in somewhere around S scale.
