Santa's Toy and Fireworks Factory

[von Lucky]

A few years ago I bought Wargames Supply Dump's Santa Claus Wars range, as they were closing up (they opened again a few years later):

The range was accompanied with a free set of rules from Two Hour Wargames (not available on their site at the moment).

Anyway, that was in July 2008. I never got around to starting that project. The scenario in the rules requires a Santa's Workshop, a structure 6 x 12 inches in size. The miniatures for me have a slight RCW vibe to them, so I plan to build something to suit.

Pictures of my plan to follow in the next few days.

Yup! This sounds deranged, but in a good way!

First sketch. Base size is pretty constraining.

Just make the base bigger! This being said, I really like your drawing. This will be cute.

[von Lucky]

I'm going to stick with the base size as recommended in the scenario. Partly to give some limitation (in a good way) and I have cut and sanded the MDF base - it looks fine (added about an inch all round. Would post a photo, but it's really not that exciting.

Your measurements are off...

they are in imperial!  Use metric my good man. 

[Silent Invader]

Interesting project.  

Ignore Matt, as a wargamer you are obliged to intermingle use of the imperial and metric systems as suits your purpose

Love the sketches. I want to see a stray firework shooting out a window

I thought this might help.....



Good luck.

Thanks guys. I realise I haven't sketched anything for 10+ years. I studied architecture, so hopefully something would've retained in the little grey cells.

building the tower tonight. SWMBO is wondering why I sketched something before building. Heh.

Tony - what is that image? And your project sketches are great - are you an artist/architect/draftperson?

Make it bigger then
