The Modern Stone Age village of Slatestone
« on: 14 November 2020, 02:32:16 PM »
In anticipation of an eventual relaxation of Tier 3 Covid restrictions I set about creating a village for a fun game with the grandchildren. 

I found a bag of old stuff in the back of a wardrobe and in it were the usual furry toys, old broken toys and a bag of McDonald's Bedrock houses.  So I decided that we might try to incorporate them into a game of "Eat Hitler" or maybe a prehistoric zombie game or a stone age hunt or whatever.  After cleaning off the dust and debris of 20 years (or so) and filling in some of the cracks I undercoated and painted them grey.  The foliage is a mixture of shredded foam from figure blisters, flock powder and lichen.  The murals were applied with a Sharpie.  Not bad for a wet Friday the Thirteenth's work?

The village of Slatestone, a few inhabitants and their transport.


Grumpy Staghorn, his daughters Axeah and Hornah stand outside their home looking at Grumpy's new Woodwagen coupe


Silt Bogg stands behind the family car


Ellie Whetstone watches her husband Nifer Whetstone show Staffie Bonehead how to remove the scrape on the woodwork of their three wheeler.


Young Sludge Bogg is angry because his father Mudd Bogg has refused him the bone keys of the car.


Shard Splinter, in the centre, is leaving MudDonalds heading for her Stoneacre Smilodon sports car.

Thanks folks. 
It was a bit of fun.  I hope the game will be, too.
