Don's Border Reivers in 40mm
« on: 17 September 2017, 10:24:03 AM »
Found a lot of 40mm Perry Border Reivers in my mountain of lead....:)

I checked through the stuff and I think I have enough for a small skirmish multiplayer: 4 players each 8-10 minis....;)

Glued a few of the minis together and added some greenstuff.



The minis are really cool...okay I am kind of a Perry-Fan ....;)




After the initial thoughts I realised, that I needed some 40mm Scenery.... :o
28mm houses are too small.



So I builded a sabbot base...:D



...splashed some paint on it.




Oh...and then I realized that I needed some stock to grab for the reivers.
So I started to build something myself from Fimo.



Added a little greenstuff...




Okay, looks a little like primitive art...:D

The project will be more of a slow burner, so do not expect too frequent updates....;)

Cheers,
Don

Thanx, Malamute....;)

Okay, I started a Bastle House for my reivers to conquer or to hide in. In the great tradition of Jimbibbly....:)

Made a few little WIP pics. Everything handmade with a cutter....;)





Squeezed the stone in my hands to get them more round.




And than builded like Bob the Builder...;)










To get to the firstfloor I need a ladder.




In the morning I started putting some paint on the roof...





Here you can see the interior.




Hope to get some paint on it in the evening.


Cheers,
Don
