That's a cracking match Paul! This is going to be another triumph! Hope the thumb heals soon too.

We've all been there with little scalpel accidents! Ouch :? I find with a sharp blade you don't always know you've cut yourself straight away. Hope you heel well enough that your dice throwing isn't impeded! ;)

Lovely work on the scenery.

Next is a tower.  I built it some time ago to match the Snapdragon items.  Just needed to touch up the paintwork a bit.






 :o :-*

That is brilliant.

Only just caught up with the thread. Excellent stuff, can't wait to see it  in just three days :o ;D

I still have my Ainsty bus and the Snapdragon barricades, all unpainted of course. :D

I like the tower idea to match the other stuff, consider that concept nicked. :)

See you Friday :)

Thanks for the comments.  :D

Painting will have to wait until Thursday night when I'm home.  It wouldn't be BLAM if I wasn't painting something at the last minute!

Your stuff is excellent. At the GLAM two years ago, we talk about doing things. I think when I see your stuff it is not important how much thing you do, it is important to do one project. Hope we get a chance next Blam or Glam to make a game on your fantastic tables. Will you give we a hint what you are doing at the salute???

@NurgleHH.
I wish I was disciplined enough to follow a single project to its conclusion Dirk.  Like many people I tend to flit from one thing to another.  My Post Apoc collection is typical; I built the Mad Max tanker chase game and did a bit more scenery and miniatures, but have lots more I'd like to do including a group of vehicles I have and mostly converted already.

This has been a side project to put something on at BLAM at the last moment.  At least it has got me to finish a few items that had sat half-painted for years.  My Darkest Africa has been sidelined whilst I do this....

At Salute I will be helping out running games for Crooked Dice.  The London Zombie table by AndyM being one of 5 quickplay games we hope to run.  Its unlikely I will be providing scenery for them this time around.

More pics will have to wait until BLAM or after, as I've only just finished all the bits I need for the game tonight.

Glad to see I’m not the only one testing the efficiency of a new blade on himself… ;D

Nice work Overlord, the bits and pieces you’ve done greatly enhance the Snapdragon stuff and the elements you’ve build give the whole lot a "coherent" looks 8)

Thanks, I want to eventually build an entire compound to match.  That was the idea when I started 5+ years ago....  ::)

In the meantime here are a few photos (phone quality I'm afraid) from the past weekend at BLAM:












Hopefully some better quality pics will emerge.   :)

Well done, sir.  What did you use for the ants?
