First of all I hope you had wonderful holidays during these rather stressing time. I managed to finish another building for my Hue project over the holidays. It is a 3D print from the WOW Vietnam kickstarter. There are another 3 different shops in the kickstarter I have already printed but not yet painted up.

Here is another Full Metal Miniature civilian. A woman pushing a bike. A very nice figure especially the bike is very neatly done. A treat to paint.

Now As I got a 3D printer last year and I acquired some STL files for smoke effects like missile exhaust , explosions etc from Deadly Print Studio I tried there smoke marker STL . I modified the file a bit to get different sizes of smoke . Then I printed them out based them in the usual way and added a little smoke grenade. Here are the results:

Very nicely done, but something that really adds that extra detail and realism  :)

The smoke makes me think you should be seeing skulls or faces in the effect. Something that should be rising from a witch's cauldron holding the souls of the tormented!

madman indeed like Apocalypse now....

This is a figure of a snake catcher. Figure by Full Metal Miniatures. He is carrying a Y staff for catching the snakes and a basket with lid for disposing the caught snakes.

Thanks Russ!

If you build a city you need some groundwork to place it on. As my terrain tiles are all grassland and not suited for a build up environment. I started building thin overlays as ground for the city/village. I will build streets running over the rest of the terrain in a similar way later. I uses PVC sign makers tiles for this.As the tiles are very thin( but not warping) you can take them with you to other locations quite easily. As you can see on the picture. The setup is on our dining room table and not on my usual gaming table in the basement. This could be a nice lockdown project as you get everything you need on the net.
