For Your Dice Only - 7TV/KKBB

[Overlord]

As some LAF members will be aware I have wanted to build an underground/volcano base for a secret agent game for some time.  Other commitments prevented me doing much work on it for most of the year, but I have finally found a bit more time.  The complex will form the basis for a game at Salute using the 7TV Rules from Crooked Dice, due out in the New Year.

Laboratory and Bio-containment facility.  
You will note the air-conditioning shafts located at the rear of the lab.  Worth remembering should a discrete entry or exit be required.


The main Laboratory providing the scientific support for the global evil.


The Bio-hazard containment area.


Viewing port into the containment area.  The padded table awaiting the fate of some poor individual, no doubt.
To the right is another view of the entrance to the airlock.

The complex will be a modular build for ease of storage and tranportation.  It allows the various parts to be assembled in different layouts.  It will also enable me to use it for Aliens/Sci-Fi, Zombies, Stargate, Weird War, etc, as well as 7TV/KKBB games.

Construction is of 5mm Foam PVC walls on a 3mm MDF base covered in a tile effect embossed plastic card, forming one large room.
This can be sub-devided by a removeable air-lock and viewing port built from 3mm and 5mm foam PVC, a clear CD case and plastic card.
A/C grille is of etched brass with framing in plastic strip.

EQSET2.  Medical Examination Room
EQSET3.  Science Lab
EQSET4.  Hi-Tech Research Lab
EQ5.  Bio-Hazard Security Entrance x2

It is likely that most/all building for the complex will be done before I start painting so that I can keep an element of commonality to the finished project.

Paul, stop being awesome.

It's not fair, share a little! 

Seriously, really good work. Looks like this is going to be another very active blog!

[AKULA]

Nice one Paul - am glad you are doing this.

This exact same thing was my suggestion for the Frothers Salute game a couple of years back, but we went with zombies instead - its still on my list to do one day, but thankfully someway back down the to-do list.

I look forward to seeing your take on it - am sure the quality will be top notch throughout.

Loving your work Mr Smith!!

[Andym]

Yea! Another overlord project! I'll be keeping a close eye on this one!

Good start!

[Phil Robinson]

Looking good Paul, it will certainly be a View to a Thrill.

[Captain Blood]

Wonderful Paul. Been looking forward to this production! 

Will there be a shark tank and a missile silo? 

And a Goldfinger-esque model of Fort Knox - diorama within a diorama style, that rises from the boardroom table?

Very very nice. I'll be following this closely all the better to acquire your secrets Mr Overlord. Underground modular bases seem all the rage as two days ago I just cut the hardboard tiles for mine.

Just a question on the airshafts. Will you be opening up the ends to connect to other tiles or will you be abstracting it during play. Curious.

Please keep the photos coming.

[gamer Mac]

WOW 
This is going to be great.
Will watch with interest.
How big is the base going to be when finished?

[Col.Stone]

wow, that's inspiring

[Ray Earle]

Very good Mr. Smith. 

Look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

[Centaur_Seducer]

I'm with everyone else on this one, Paul. And I really look forward to this project as you have an ability to do your stuff really, really well

Damn, I really should try to attend Salute this year :/

[Mr.J]

Very cool board! Can't wait to see this develop.

[Andym]

Will it include a monorail and the orange boiler suited gentlemen you can see in the pic?
