Thanks guys!

Honestly my first thought this morning when I got online to catch up on my reading, and saw that there were so many replies to this thread, was that someone must have hacked my blog and replaced all my pictures with porn or something. I did not realize that Mr. Murch was a Newby on these forums, just kind of assumed that he had always been a member. After all where else would people who love pulptastic action hang out on the Internet. Anyway, welcome.

I will try and do a quick tutorial on how to build them. They are pretty simply to do. My biggest problem is that I get so engrossed in what I am doing that I usually forget to take photos.

Oh, we like simple... Our problem (well, mine anyhow) is a tendency to over-complicate.  ;D

They look very good. I have a tutorial on my blog for the constructing of shanty town, one of my earlier ones so not much pictures but maybe useful. If permitted by the section 8 I will post a link here as I'm not looking to hijack this superb thread  ;)

Post away brother! I would like to check them out.

I have that problem quite a bit :D


Tonight I gathered all my shacks up to take them downstairs and get them out of the way until I use them in a game. On the way down the stairs I tripped  :o and they went flying down the stairs. Luckily only one was slightly damaged and I managed to not break my neck. My son got to hear lots of driving words though!   :D




...and thanks again guys.

Thankfully you and your shacks survived the fall. Great work.  Don't worry about the new vocabulary, some one was going to teach him that eventually.  :D

Thanks, here's the link to the shanty tutorial: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2012/10/how-to-shanty-town.html and here's another link to a post on how to create cheap and nice corrugated roofing: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2012/11/how-to-scratchbuild-corrugated-roofing.html I have also made some more modern shanty towns in the past, I don't have a tutorials but have these pictures.
