So whilst having Malamute round yesterday for a terrain making session I showed him a little Georgian 300mm x 300mm board to house the terraces I've done and he said "Why not do some sewers".
A simple enough statement but unfortunately the muse descended and I came up with this.
You'll have to excuse the clear acrylic, it will become clearer when it's all got a coat of primer on it. Also, please bare in mind that this is a tester to see if it's a viable project so no smart arse comments about the sewers being the same level as the basements and emptying all the crap into the bottom of the terraces ;)

The loose bricks at the join are just there to hide a nasty join that I fudged ::)
It won't be for release, just a little side project, 2' x 2', if it even gets that far although looking on Google images for inspiration pictures it could go downwards quite a way :)

That's neat, I like the use of clear acrylic. I'm looking foward to seeing where this goes...
-
Mr bibbly I am impressed. This is something to wait for. Are you going to sculpt a fatberg? ;D
Snitchy sends.
-
That Is a great thread title lol
A return to Gothic Horror??? Well well...
A great idea, wonderfully executed, as per usual.
Clever swine.
Will you be modelling some floating... You know... ? ;)
-
:o that's amazing your stuff is always great.
-
Why not paint the acrilic with tamyia smoke or something similar in order to see what goes underground while playing?
-
That is mind boggling!!!...Just intense!!....I love how it is turning out so far!
Cheers,
Carl
-
:o Oh wow ! Am just starting to dabble with Malifaux and how to approach making sewers has just been revealed to me in a most excellent piece of model making :-* Can only imagine how amazing it will look painted....houses totally look the part too...where did the railings and window frames come from if I may ask ?
-
I dunno, it looks a bit rushed, some of those lines look a bit wonky. :D ;D
Lovely indeed, Jim. ;)
So when you say Malamute made the suggestion, did he also ask for the other utilities to be connected and an option to sub-let? :P
-
Bloody awesome mate! ;D
The terrace house is a wonderful piece and the sewers look like a treat, a whole new level for gaming indeed :D
-
Interesting!
Where did the brickwork come from?
-
Great stuff mate! :-* You do realise you're digging yourself a bigger hole by starting this? Sooner or later someone is going to ask you to build a full board of this stuff!......
.....so why don't you build a full board of sewers? ;)
The only minor point, for all the great aesthetics, is it going to be gameable? It would mean taking the upper level off every time you want to move models down there. :?
-
Lovely buildings James - please show more. Methinks they provide the visual treat and it'd be such a shame to have to lift out road sections in front of them to play inside the sewers. To keep the gameplay from the sewers, could they just be kept to exposed and accessible edges?
A Georgian Square has been on my to-do list for years. I'm swooning. :D
-
Niiiiiice! :-* I like the concept. A lot.
Depending how far you go with the detail, will you include smaller inlets?
On another note, that's two potential Georgian build projects now; yourself and Silent Invader. I have to say I'm tempted too chaps.
-
Also, please bare in mind that this is a tester to see if it's a viable project so no smart arse comments about the sewers being the same level as the basements and emptying all the crap into the bottom of the terraces ;)
As if anyone would do that ;)
-
Wow, many thanks for the replies gents :)
Will you be modelling some floating... You know... ? ;)
Are you going to sculpt a fatberg? ;D
Yes, detritus of all sorts will probably be included ::) (actually, it's the bit I'm most looking forward to lol )
where did the railings and window frames come from if I may ask ?
Laser cut ;)

He start waffling about something like that, but I switched off lol

Laser cut ;)
Regarding the playability aspect, we'll just have to see when it's ready. I have two willing participants to see it first hand and comment to the yay or nay :)
Of course the easy solution would be to have a separate board underneath the house board (or to one side) but as I mentioned, this is an experiment ;)
Primed the bits this morning and will start to put the proper colours on in due course. Interestingly (or not...) reading about the road surfaces of London of the period a lot of them were wooden blocks or 'sets', quite often hexagonal in plan, a fair few were just plain macadam and granite sets were in the minority. Who knew :)

Very good start! It isn´t labyrinthic enough for my taste... lol
I sold my own modular sewers to Ainsty, although the floor sections are only advertised as tube tunnel ceilings...

It's your thread I'm using to help inspire me 8) 8)

If it's not going to be a fixed set up, you could also use these as smugglers tunnels for the Dorset games.

Oh, gotta ask, will those street parts / pavement etc be available through Oshiro at some point? I bet there would be a market for those ;D

Possibly mate but it's not a priority at the moment.
Got the whole thing almost painted. Just the varnish in the sewer and basement doors/windows and we're done. The brothers numpty will be round on Thursday and then we'll discuss whether it's viable for gaming or whether something else has to be thought of.
It could possibly do with more 'shit' on the street but it's fine for now (shit being the literal word of course). Oh, and it's been quite a dry summer in Old London, hence all the 'crap' in the sewer (crap being the literal word of course) ;)

Hubba Hubba. That's fantastic.
-
I like it!!!!! Looks great mate. What have you used for the street crap? I've been experimenting with ideas from my recent request but this looks rather good.
-
I like it.
-
Stunning!
-
Well that's a bit crap ;) lol
Wowzers james, that's the start of a super sewer system.
Looks like you will be facing the issue one has with multi leveled boards. I've found single story buildings with removable roofs are fine, but two storeys are a tricky thing to game.
Do you have any solutions to gaming in the sewer and on the road/terrace at the same time?
Cheers
Matt
-
Beautiful? Attractive? Let's go with stunning too.
Are the railings lase cut card or MDF?
-
Cheers fellas :)

Just a mix of chopped up fine straw, pva and some flocking.

Not yet, we'll be discussing it on Thursday :)

0.5mm acrylic and they are fragile little buggers ::)
cheers
James
-
Are the sewer bricks laser engraved too? Fantastic work!
-
You got that painted quickly, and very sweet it is too. 8)

Very nice work James :-*

Awesome!
...but where are the...Rats!

Ta. 30 years ago, when I started on this hobby, I never would have thought I'd spend so much time trying to replicate Victorian poo.
-
Brilliant stuff James, even though it's sh!t you've made it look great :D
Is it just me or does the positioning of the figures in the photo's make it look like there's a game of hide and seek going on?

lol lol Very good Mark ;)

Styrene sheeting. I laser the bricks from 2mm acrylic and getting it to bend around the curves (although possible) is a nightmare.
cheers
James
-
I keep thinking the chap in the sewer is on a mobile phone.
-
Wonderful work :-*
It might be crap yet it ain't surely a stinker :)
-
Great sideproject, James ... 8) :-*
-
Kudos Jimbo. This is one of those projects we all think about but you have managed to pull it off with aplomb. Needs to be much bigger and sprawling though ;D and where are the drain covers up top from where the poo is coming down the walls?
-
Cheers fellas :)
Svennn, old bean. It's seeping out the walls ;)
cheers
James
-
Great Stuff Jim...I assume this is one part of a larger setting?
-
Beautiful work! Reminds me of the old sewers and tunnels in Seattle. Amazing what gets buried when you are rebuilding after a disaster.
-
Awestruck, I've never seen anything quite like this. You've taking gaming boards to a whole new level!
-
Sewers are among our greatest achievements and your cloaca (like the Cloaca Maxima of ancient Rome) is among one of the great achievements here on LAF - you should be very proud of what you have made. My miniatures wish they had such civilised amenities.
-
Even my roman street gangs would love to play on your sewers. :)
Lovely work.
-
Excellent work! :o
-
Thanks again chaps :)
Maybe something bigger will be done but not for the time being.
cheers
James
-
Great work!!
I am really looking to see this finished.
-
Brilliant execution. It opens out a table for a new level of gameplay, both figuratively and literally. Victorian sewers, modern sewers for spy stuff, Stalingrad, horror (Ghostbusters, Cthulhu, etc) and even underground lairs.

Beautiful work! Richard
