Dorset 1700s * 17.04.16 Some Salute game shots*

Thanks gents (and Jackie  ) 

Will the caves lead to select locations on the board? I'm looking forward to seeing the lighthouse.

Yes, there will be several possible exits from the caves but no lighthouse (not in the brief).

I can't wait to see the hand crafted sea shells in 28mm...

They are already there 

Does this mean, James, that the other terrain boards will now need to be raised up to the same level as the top of the cliffs? 

Nick is going to prop them up as he's about the right height 

cheers

That's a great sculpture. And a lot of blue foam. Must have cost you a packet...

Just curious, how expensive it is over there? Here quite cheap as one brand is called Finnfoam so a local product and used extensively on constructions sites due to our winter weather and all that.

It comes in boxes of 600mm x 600mm sheets at approx £64 including delivery, the number of sheets depends on thickness and it based on a total thickness of 300mm - so 6 x 50mm sheets or 30 x 10mm sheets.

I just took delivery of 3 sheets, 2x 25mm and 1x 65mm - Dimensions are 2500x600. £40 through my builder. Pale grey colour made by knauf, seems to be the same as the pink stuff B&Q sometimes sells.

Here 5 sheets of 50mm thick 2500mm x 600mm costs 43€ / ~£34.5

I wonder what the postage to the UK would be?

I think I will rent a truck and load it up full of Finnfoam and drive to different wargamins cons over there next summer

Looking good James 

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again chaps 

I know a lot of people would baulk at the price but I think it's quite reasonable 

Taken the day off today as I had to work all night Tuesday through to Wednesday lunchtime and I'm fucked 

I have however started carving the cliffs...



And here are some actual pictures of the cliffs in question (stolen by Mark from the www)






The bottom one is my main reference the only worry is getting the colours right 

cheers

[Constable Bertrand]

Cheers

Looking good so far, mate, and if that is style of cliff face that you are going for, it is going to look the nuts.

Dont say that: I can feel a touch of vertigo coming on.

Very impressive  - the carved cliffs do look very realistic.
 
I am looking forward to the finished project.
