Well it's been a different build-up to Salute for us this year. Sadly we're not involved in any games this year but just as well because I've managed to get our humble Slug Industries range carried at the show this year by the mighty Fenris Games. We're very excited by this but it has meant a lot more work, namely getting around to painting all our pieces for a show catalogue, and generating stock - the latter we haven't really done before because we cast to order.
These are our city ruins, which Akula is using a set of on his Planet of the Apes boards. I've gone for a relatively light paint scheme on these.
They're quite large and at 5mm wide on the walls suitable for fitting in with anything you might already have made of 5mm foamboard. Works across tons of periods.
This is half of our ruined building set which is a bit more modern, but still works across a lot of periods and genres. This is in a more typical
ruined building grey.
This is the other half. It was odd to revisit these with a paintbrush so long after making the masters. I've put a lot of detail into the rubble and picking it all out took quite a while.
And the rubble set, which is designed to fill out either of the sets above, although these have been painted to fit in more with the latter.
At last the RV with the decal set. I'm not sure about the windows, too dark?
Big thanks to Bungle for helping me with techniques for painting the glass.
A much better paint job I think from Mike Awdry, he knew I was after a painted photo of this and rushed into the breach. Unfortunately his decal set
was stolen by some scumbag at the Royal Mail didn't turn up in time. Thanks Mike
Please have a butchers at our catalogue on the Fenris stand TB02 if you have a chance, stocks are limted, and if anyone would like to be our first show pre-order ever please PM. Big thanks to Ian of Fenris for being so accomodating, encouraging and an all round top chap.
By the way the LAF badges will be available on the Fenris Stand too. For those not attending and unable to get a chum pick one up for them there will be some sent off to LAF HQ in the week after Salute.
Hope to see you there.
