Oldgamer, Wingnut and Daeothar must take the blame for my postal delivery today:



Work starts tomorrow on my Lunar board.

More to come (probably including a diminishing bank balance!).....

[anevilgiraffe]

the space race is definitely on...

We might be increasing Black Site's sales over here bij a magnitude like this 

Welcome to the fold though: race you there 

[Michi]

the space race is definitely on...

I wonder who will be the first man on the moon.
It will be a giant leap for wargamingkind anyway… 

[Oldgamer]

Welcome aboard, l look forward to seeing your painted astros.

[Inkpaduta]

That all you got? Come on, you know you need more....

[Daeothar]

We're all over the moon that you're joining us?

This is a classic example of blame-transference (if such a thing exists). I know His Lordship and I can state unequivocally that he never, ever needed any external influence to persuade him to spend yet more of his incalculable wealth on "oooh shiny".

Annoyingly, he’ll do a great job on it

Just to add fuel to the fire - Amera plastic mouldings do a range of 28mm blast and moon craters in their future range as well as a lunarscape board in landscapes and some really useful looking rock outcrops.

Thanks all, for your comments. In the space race, I'm more likely to be the tortoise, rather than the hare! I found a video on YouTube which is going to provide the method for my board. Grouting powder and lava rocks on order.

Many thanks, Rick. I have ordered some of those Amera craters.

Does anybody have suggestions for painting the helmet visors? Maybe gloss black, not sure...

[Daeothar]

They should be gold, obviously. At least for the Americans. The others are up for debate, but you can't go wrong with black I reckon.

And thanks for the link; I was thinking grout as well...

Thanks. Yes, I think gold for the Americans as you say and black for my Russians. Should make a nice contrast.

All assembled and primed now.

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

...and then, my craters from Amera arrived. There's probably too many for the 2' x 2' board, but there may be a second board in the future for a bit of variety.

[Daeothar]

Alright! 

When you move, you move like the 3rd stage of a Saturn V, don't you? 

I'll be going for a modular approach myself, with a flat board and templated/based features, for flexibility, but those craters are going to look fab!
