Title: [WIP] german antarctic uboat base
Post by: knoxville on December 07, 2006, 08:57:03 PM: I'm working on a german u-boat base for an antarctic-style pulp game in february. My parents dropped by for a visit and I managed to snatch their digital camera for a few preview pictures :)

Of course, there's still a LOT of work, but I hope you get the idea:

some adventurers. Ignore the savages in the back ;)

The base. It fits the Brigade games uboat perfectly. I'll put a gun on the platform (where the tentacles are lying around now).

Another view, I'll add another board with ice floes.

Some flags and the doors

Pls let me know what you think :)

I hope we get to see more pictures.

Post by: Wallyocerous on December 08, 2006, 03:09:02 AM: That's a project that I want to do eventually as well. Except in mine, there would be tentacles... :)

Those are some well painted polar explorers, especially the penguins!!!

This makes me think about a possible scenario based in John Carpenter's film "The Thing". Maybe in a future....

Hans: So, those were the Americans, naja?

Dieter: Naja.

Hans: Really blew the hell out of the U-Boat pen, didn't they?

Dieter: Naja.

Hans: ... So what now? Should I contact OKW? Let them know that the Americans blew the place up?

Dieter: What, are you crazy? They'll just send us to the Eastern Front! Hand me my rifle. I'm going penguin hunting.

Hans: But what are we supposed to do? We can't just stay here?

Dieter: Of course we can. We have lots of vodka, some rations, and the burning base will keep us warm. And after I shoot a couple of penguins, we'll have more vodka.

Post by: Poliorketes on January 18, 2007, 06:57:30 AM: Penguins. I always knew it. It's not playing Doom or Quake that makes Teenagers ruuning amok in their school, it's watching 'Happy Feet'.

By the way, did you know penguins and polar bears are deadly arch-enemies? Their hatred is that bitter, polar bears hunted down every penguin around the north pole, as did the penguins with polar bears in Antarctica.
