Building some terrain for African VSF

[Jonas]

I must go and scavenge our driveway... I should probably make some stone fenches too, they could easily come in handy for all sorts of games.

I know I'd seen the stones used for demarcation, but all I could think of was 'But, Sahr, we don't have the rigging to move a boulder.' 'Then paint it white, Sargent Major.'

Hehe I seriously do not think we need to make more stone fencing! 

[Jonas]

No, not if you bring yours along each time, but it would be nice to end up having enough terrain of my own, so you just needed to bring a few models

It's not like I'll be riding my bike there any time soon. 

But sure, do what you please.

ok, I know these pictures are terrible, but they show a small progress.

I added the whitewashed stones and I had some boxes and crates, which I touched up and added.

Edit: I also added some camp fires.

Between the white stones and those tents, from above it looks like you're playing Pac-Man! 


Great job.

Despite that I think it looks great to

[Jonas]

Thanks, it was a quite easy thing to add and it brings much to the looks of the camp.

I ordered some maelie walls, which will be the next thing I'll add and I also have some more boxes which needs paint.

And I have some tubes which I will make into tribal huts.

[Jonas]

Today I also started building some African huts/Cannibal huts, which will be used for VSF and pirate games.



What you can see on the picture is some potato crisp tubes cut to lenght and doors added. Roof cones made of empty cereal box and some towel cut for tatching

It might be hard to see what it will end up looking like, but I think this will work out.

[Jonas]

I put the towel onto one of the roofs and assembled a house, the result was not as I wanted it to be....

When you are standing by the table you just can't see the house, only the roof. The roof extends too long out and hides the house completely.

The solution is either to make the roofs smaller og cut some new and higher tube sections. There is not much to take away from the roofs, so I think the best solution is to get some new tubes and make the houses 1cm higher.

I had chosen the hight after the British house, but on that house the roof don't extend out from the building and "steals" the hight.

I have taken a couple of pictures, but they are not really representative for the in-game situation, they are taken at table view hight and not from an angle where you would normally stand and look at them.

Luckily potato crisps are not that expensive and my wife also has a tube she is about to empty

[Jonas]

OK, I cleared some of my rambling posts from the thread and now I present some finished huts instead:





Now I need some inhabitants and some bits and bobs to make it look like some one lives there.

[Malamute]

They look very effective, excellent stuff

The huts look great!
