7TV Cops and Robots: Salute 2013 board
« on: 13 December 2012, 02:04:56 PM »
One of the new 7TV quick play games at Salute will be Cops and Robots by the delightful Mr Morgan Nash:

Frank Skelton puts his ear to the ground and hears the tell-tale stamp of criminal behaviour. Following a lead to a so-called "robot factory", his elite team find that the heavies waiting to be arrested are rather heavier than expected!

Now by happy coincidence David Marshall from TM Terrain contacted me. Those lovely people at Skytrex want to showcase their very nice railway and modelling  terrain to wargamers so David offered to build a small industrial area for the game with all their gear! Result! Here's a link their range here - http://www.skytrex.com/

Here are some of the build pictures of the 2x2 foot board:

Initial layout






And now with a spot of paint...

Looking good!

Karl, I've been eyeing up some of the Skytrex terrain features, is this the O gauge range? If so has David mentioned it scales up well with 28mm?

Cheers.
Don't!

Yep, I believe so. I'll see if David can supply some scale pictures.

Excellent, just what I was going to ask for too - drop some of your bobbies/time life people into a shot or three :)

These will be perfect for my new project.
I am forming an orderly queue behind Thunderchicken, of course.
