Liking the dockside layout. You intending on having a few water bourn beasties coming out of it?

Well after seeing the awesome job you did on the Dunwich board I anxiously look forward to following your progress on this Innsmouth board, and incidentally thanks for sharing.

And to all the LAFers and Lovecraftian fans I'd like to wish a Merry Cthulhumas and a H*st*r New Year to all.

Indeed I do Wolt! I have a vision of the players participating in the Raid on Innsmouth, battling Hybrids, then Deep ones, and finally Uncle Mikes submerged giant Deep One (Dagon?) surfacing and heading towards shore whilst the players look on in terror...
-BTW thank you to everyone here for the comments and whatnot, Dunwich was my first board and I hadn't GM'd in 25 years!

Hint: Don't leave foamboard in the sun.

Some progress made inbetwixt Solstice celebrations. Board warping fixed by careful application of various heavy objects while paint and glue dried in evening sun..

Hint: Spray paint apparently has foam dissolving abilities. Can make for some interesting texture effects, however.

Awesome build, I love the Harbour.  This could easily be used for a waterfront in New York.  I'll be watching this thread closely.

Well this is coming along quick!

I am looking forward to seeing this finished.

The beginnings of some beachfront property...
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: diehard on December 30, 2013, 04:09:16 AM
Ooh, an expansion board already! Now, this looks interesting, any hints on what you might have planned for this?
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout

All I know is I'm not going for a swim!  No sunbathing either.

I'm watching from my fishing boat far out to sea. Nice view from here.
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Asthmathoth on December 30, 2013, 06:44:52 PM
I'm thinking some old seaside manors, something along the lines of the Innsmouth Hamptons? Or perhaps some sort of shanty area. Also, I need a name for the "beach"...
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout

Martin's Beach?

Here are some details, including but not limited to: ham-handed water effects (low tide), Secret Sewer Entrance, fish packing plant boat unloading crane covered in resin when it fell in not yet dry water effects, and Martins Beach rocks and dirt and foliage and stuff.

Liking this. Sorry to hear about the setback.
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout

THX! No big setbacks other than my own impatience and disinterest in reading directions.

Looks great so far. Whats the plans for furnishing the town?
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Asthmathoth on January 06, 2014, 05:56:49 PM
I have been using a lot of O scale model railroad stuff. I thing the MTH Grainery would make a good Marsh Refining Company with some smelting type stuff stuck to the side of it. The Steam Era Structures Munitions Plant would make a great Gilman House Hotel.
Probably have to scratch build them though. I'm working on the Marsh mansion right now. I Saw a post for a set of shacks from th UK that looked good and well priced to use as houses, I will have to track them down after work...

Cool project.  What are you using for the cobblestone paths/roads?
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Asthmathoth on January 08, 2014, 03:07:52 PM
They are from a large roll of Xmas scenery that was 80% off at a large craft chain called Michaels. I will see if I can find the manufacturer. I did see someone else mention using it on another post...
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Troll on January 09, 2014, 02:04:29 AM
The roll of cobblestone looks like it is from Lemax. http://www.lemaxcollection.com/enhancements/landscaping/large-pebble-mat (http://www.lemaxcollection.com/enhancements/landscaping/large-pebble-mat)

Some Innsmouth folk...
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout

They've got the look, to be sure!

Nice looking boards!  Looks like they will be fun to play on.
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Kitsune on January 10, 2014, 08:21:39 AM
Great looking folk. Keep seeing these models appear and the "want" itch is starting up. Where are they from? RAFM?
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Asthmathoth on January 10, 2014, 11:30:03 PM
The hybrids are from Rattrap. They seem to be getting hard to find for some reason....

Post by: Nedo on January 10, 2014, 11:35:15 PM
I LOVE all this marvelous gameboard.....all except the miniatures bases  lol ...maybe they're too tall
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Asthmathoth on January 11, 2014, 12:48:36 AM
I agree they look pretty dumb like that.
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: marcusluis on January 11, 2014, 09:38:42 AM
I think black cats do some hybrids as well..
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: Diakon on January 11, 2014, 05:48:27 PM
Those deep 'uns and hybrids look great. Agree about the bases though. They look bizarrely tall.

Black Cat do excellent Hybrids marcusluis but I've been waiting for mine to arrive since August. They're really slow at the moment. There's a huge thread about it on the Commercial board.

Don't feel silly, I really like your board.  Your harbour is really awesome!  The problem sometimes on this forum is that all the work is so good.
Title: Re: Innsmouth board layout
Post by: thebinmann on February 13, 2014, 08:54:21 PM
Absolutely, your work is stunning!

If I had half your talent I'd be more than happy!

Nothing to feel silly about. Your board looks great. Plenty of room for different interpretations on Innsmounth.  :)
