Title: Winter Campaign Prep for Summer Holidays.( cult Idol/altar added)
Post by: tin shed gamer on July 07, 2021, 12:47:34 PM
As it says.
I'm prepping for a Summer Holidays campaign of Pulp. Whilst I was out of action over June I managed to get some painting done( and  some repairs on existing bits.)

The game's will be out in the garden in a Gazebo. So speed of set up is key( and dismantling as it's an English Summer)
So white fleece is the smart options as it can be folded for coast lines, and my existing hill's can be placed underneath it. For a little more variety.
Here's the basics baddies ( Most likely as I'm sure my existing League's will be in use too.)

Possible scenario pieces.
There's bound to be something I've not covered yet.

Plus a must.

(I've plenty of bits to a hidden world so it's not going to get chilly)

Looks a treat! I don't think I have seen the green chopper before, love it! Looking forward to all being arrayed on terrain.

Great vehicles!
Will you be using the Whiteout rules for the games?

I'm not sure I've only Rich.H's beta copy.Plus Chris keeps forgetting to send me a Walrus, and a Polar Bear.So I'd be sort of a few things.
I have toyed with idea of using them to generate the plot and narrative for the campaign.
I'll most likely let the heavy work be done by Pulp Alley ( 1st edition as it's what I have.) I've just to re read the supplement's As I'm hoping to keep the 'reach for the rules' to a bare minimum.

Nice looking collection there Mark. I need another period like I need a hole in the head, but ordered some of the polar stuff you did for Chris. Arrived yesterday and they're pretty amazing sculpts!  :o

I think that's the stock figure, the way he comes. From Sally 4th:

Akula,
It is the 1950's 'thing' .
I finally managed to throw some paint at it.
Lon,
It's the Gyrocopter from the same range. .School boy error I managed to get superglue on the front facing of the pilot not just it's base.So it graciously stuck it's self 3mm off the seat base, and with all luck of Sod's law it's adhered perfectly and is immovable whilst the landing gear point blank refused to stick for a frustrating 20 minitues.
Just got to find some time between painting the Guard's Guard's stuff and work. To paint the air crew,and tweak the ski plane as its looking tired ( it was originally chucked together in an evening.)

This collection looks fantastic: especially the exotic array of vehicles.

 lol
Oh there's more exotic vehicles floating about( totally forgot I've rather Heath Robinson looking Royal Navy Submarine spotting Airship )
I can see a possible use for the walkers. As I've just knocked up another ageing Nazis as a target / objective.

I think I've seen that figure before somewhere.

I tend to get more than one casting, so there's one in my WW2 stuff too. Only not so grey or with a polka dot scarf.So that's possibly where you've seen it.




( or 1st Corps miniatures ,HomeFront with the refugees ;) )

Post by: Bravo Six on July 08, 2021, 08:23:56 PM
Ah ok. That's probably where. As I said in my British Horror thread, the refugees themselves have so much character and can be used as main characters, not just background fodder.

Plane tweak.
Cockpit windows enlarged, Cockpit roof window's enlarged and increased to six. Prop reenforced and reshaped as It kept failing with every knock. Then paint chucked on in a liberal fashion. Job done....Only I'm still not happy So it's like to become a wrecked plane or chucked into a corner( So it can think about it's attitude.)
Whilst the ski plane has proved to be a little one. I'm just stick with the Old Fokker ,and make some removable skis for the tri motor.

Looks good Mark. Is that a plastic kit? Or another cereal packet creation?  lol

Cheers Chaps,
It's still plodding on . I've only managed to paint an altar for the Cultists I'm still making. If I've time I'll plonk some WIP picture's on my workbench thread.( if it's of interest of course.)

That looks great Mark! I finished the same statue recently myself. It's a great bit of terrain.

A Hearty "Well done!" on those planes.  The altar is interesting, as well...

Sorry for the delay in replying( going to be saying that a lot over the weekend replying to everyone lol but I've been exceptionally busy of late.)
I do have quite a chunk of vehicles at my disposal. Mind you Fram has a cracking collection of pulp vehicles ( If you nag him he might post some pictures.)
If you like the Plane's and fancy making some yourself . I did do a tutorial on them over on the workbench tutorial board. In truth the original tri motor took around nineteen hours now I've made that many of them for people I can be painting one on the same day.The Ski plane can done and on the table for a game after lunch. They're very quick and simple to make once you've ignored the idea of building a plane, and treat it as a couple of rectangles and a couple of right angle triangles that just need the top point rounding off.
 ;)
In theory it should all finally see some use this weekend. Way later than intended.
