Title: Grymvayl update (Picture Heavy)
Post by: Bobble on 08 October 2014, 02:20:25 PM
After trawling through the lead and plastic mountain under our stairs I realised that I had an awful lot of Fantasy stuff sitting there doing bugger all so time to do something with it. A few bits of scenery to start with I think. After seeing Masons amazing Upsheet Creek I decided to take the plunge and base my buildings (not something I would normally do)

It is fun making a small 'scene' out of each building, isnt it?

Cheers guys. Yes it's great fun making a little scene out of the buildings,really helps them come alive. And yes the cottage is an Amera vacuformed piece,picked up a load of different bits off them at Salute a few years ago and this is the first one I've done

LOOKIN' GOOD! Basing makes quite a difference both with minis & terrain; put a mini/building/whatever in its proper environment...or improper for shock value...& you've made your creation a narrative piece. Keep up the FINE WORK!

Nice start to your project. Looking forward to seeing more.
Tip. Try taking the pictures with the light from the window from the side or from behind you.

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y368/bobble13/imagejpg2-2.jpg)

Been having a good think and have decided that my new fantasy land is going to be called "Grymvayl" (Grimvale). What do you think of the name?
Title: Re: Fantasy project begins
Post by: Brummie Thug on 13 October 2014, 02:15:47 PM

Post by: Bobble on 03 November 2014, 02:06:06 PM
Haven't had much time lately to get on with much so,I'm afraid,nothing new finished. Thought I'd post some WIP piccies though to keep myself motivated  :)

First up are a couple of resin buildings that I got off of Mason (thank you very much,mate. I love 'em)

Nice start on those buildings, mate.
Good to see someone actually doing something with them.
They will look great when you have finished them.
 :-* :-*

I missed the update on the trees, they do look the dogs.
Oh, yes.

As for those figures that you are going to use, there are some great choices in there.
Loads of old classics.
Looking forward to getting some close-ups of those when they are finished.

The Woods & W.I.P.s pieces are all SPLENDID. You have some WONDERFUL things done & on the way. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

I missed the update on the trees, they do look the dogs.
Oh, yes.

...that does sound like the perfect way to describe trees. WELL DONE, Mason!

Big Beastman came from a boardgame by Bandai called "Navia Dratp", had quite a few cool minis in it.

Title: Re: Fantasy project begins (Grymvayl Emporium)
Post by: Bobble on 08 December 2014, 02:48:53 PM
Finally got a new piece finished. Welcome to the Grymvayl Emporium run by the influential and law abiding (yeah,right!) dwarf Mr Maurice Stoutbottom

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y368/bobble13/imagejpg2-4.jpg)

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y368/bobble13/imagejpg3-3.jpg)

Due to several incidents with the local Swamp Dragon population who although not "bad" do have a seriously dodgy indigestion problem,Mr Stoutbottom decided to build his shop on a nicely raised stone foundation in which he keeps his stock to avoid it burning down again!

LOOKIN' GOOD! I never came up with a way to integrate those LOVELY Grendel pieces...GREAT idea. AND I LOVE the hoist. VERY WELL DONE!

Stunning work, mate.
Absolutely wonderful.
A story all of its own.

Big Beastman came from a boardgame by Bandai called "Navia Dratp", had quite a few cool minis in it.
Funny, I didn't recognize him despite being a fan of that game and collecting all the figures. I saw him and thought, "Hey, he'd make a good Maseitai figure!"
Did you replace the haft of his weapon with brass rod? Navia Dratp figs are kinda bendy and weapons are seldom straight.
Title: Re: Fantasy project begins
Post by: Bobble on 08 December 2014, 06:39:47 PM
Thanks guys. Cheers for the kind words
Yeah,I did replace it with brass rod

They are from the Scotia Grendel fantasy market set and great fun to paint up

Great work! The size and scale of each terrain piece of really impressive when viewed all together. Such a wonderful battlefield .... I'd never get bored with that!
