check Wagons HO! by bluemoon they might have some wagons to save you from conversions

TC if you make it over in Oct for the Con you can pick one or two up.  I have an Army Card so slash 40% off the price but add the applicable taxes for Pennsylvania.   :D

Great stuff. I'm particularly fond of the black mariah and the victorian ATM.

Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Thanks again chaps. Comments are very much appreciated. I'm working on scenery and street furniture at the moment so nothing exciting to report.

check Wagons HO! by bluemoon they might have some wagons to save you from conversions, alas no drivers!

Malamute put me on to these models a while back and I already have some. Thanks for the heads up though. I forgot Sterling Moose had his Army Card. Hmph!

I like the Lesley Anne Down idea. I've got a copy of the First Great Train Robbery on my shelf, I think I'll have to give it another watch  ;).

Mister Rab, I'll PM you.

As a relative newcomer to LAF, when is this year's BLAM? Where? What's the secret password/handshake? Is it a cake or beer event? You know, the important stuff!

As another newcomer I second this.

Sorry chaps, was side tracked preparing a War of the Worlds game for Matakishi's Tea Party (pics soon). I had to build and paint a few things for the tabletop but luckily most of it will be used for the BLAM game so in a way it is progress:

Thanks old fruit.
Could do with some advice, the green mat I'm using for the board isn't working when it comes to the the 'urban' bit. I'm thinking maybe a grey mat where the built up section begins or how about a more neutral colour?

Hi TC
Go for a brown base with cream highlight & green static grass patches. We used to call this Perryesque @ Foundry. Actual colours are Snakebite Leather(GW), Tamiya Flesh with bleached bone highlight. Add the grass & hairspray the lot.
How did the rules work out at The Party?

At first glance, I was thinking the scene would be part of an excellent chase.

Alas, even mentioning War of the Worlds brought to mind some tripodal entities of which I've been wondering...  ::)

The gates are fixed but that allows the bottoms to be submerged in the water texture.  I made the canal for TC two years ago now but have just finished some extra sections including a junction specifically for the Stepney Job scenario. It is only mdf and polyfilla/spackle and very simple to construct.
