Im addicted to building things :
« on: 30 June 2009, 05:25:39 AM »
Ok first off I appologise for those who have seen these before.
I was doing a bit of a tidy up in the wargames room and decided to take a few pictures.  Anyway i thought I would post them on here with a few other pictures I have of my stuff, so I can keep it all in the one place.



28mm Samurai Castle


Terrain Boards i made for helldorado (they can be moved around for different set ups.)   Im guessing they could also be used for a wierd chaos setting.








28mm Roman style Villa


My Olde World buildings (the missing roofs are almost finished) and one off my terrain boards in the background.


Trees.  I have made loads of these but a tree is a tree so no point in taking loads of pictures of them.


28mm Masaka Japanese Patrol Aeronef.  (Victorian Science Fiction Flying ship)


Just in case you thought the Masaka was big, this is a small frigate.  Also for my Japanese Fleet.  Yes I know its not finished yet.
(If anyone is at all interested I also have a Prussian fleet in 28mm)


A selection of floating Islands (this time in 1/1200 scale) For when our Aeronef mass battle games.


A selection of Arabic / North African style buildings


My Scrap Yard buildings












Some Goblinoid tents



Most of the terrain I make ends up getting sold at the bring and buy held at the NWS and usually before I even get to use it in a game.  I am just addicted to making stuff really.

Cheers and thanks for looking

Um....wow. That's amazing how much you have built there. What sort of time span are we talking about there?

I have to know what you made the Hell Dorado boards with. That is supremely covered in awesome sauce. Please entertain us with a synopsis of construction, so we may revisit it in our own homes.

5mm MDF bases cut to size and covered with bits of broken up 5mm thick cork floor tiles.  The alien egg type things are just the top parts of coke bottles, slightly melted and with stripes of hot glue from a glue gun.  The 'teeth'on them are just the ends of cocktail sticks.   Painted black and then drybrushed.  Red and purple ink added here and there to break up the gray.

The whole lot took less then a day to make.

Inspiring stuff - I only hope that I had room to do something similar. My favourites were the Helldorado board and especially the Roman villa :)

Great stuff. I wish you lived closer so I could buy the stuff off you without having to ship it all.
