A shame I missed this topic.

A wonderful lost city, magnificent scenery. It must be a blast to game extraordinary adventure in this place. Hollywood should learn from tabletop gamers 

Cheers

You mean like HG Wells? Who kind of started this whole thing. Or Peter Cushing?

Thanks for that!

I love a bit of HG Wells! Though hollywood have never really got the "War of the Worlds" quite right!
I do love the old 1953 version though, with Gene Barry! But the only other media version I ever cared for was Jeff Wayne's Album. 

I would hardly call my stuff "Visual Panarama" as you would find in most film modelling!
(Except maybe those cheapo "Asylum Productions" things!

I beg your pardon, sir.
I was speaking about the film industry of the 2010', that I find lacking ideas. I'm not in pulp gaming,but I found a lot of good scenarios in the Pulp forum, and a lot of great scenery like in this topic. Again, a great "bravo" to all those nice people who dedicate their time to give us such fine inspiration.

Best regards

No need to pardon at all! 
I agree with you about most of the "Newer Movie industry" (Showing my age there! MOVIES! LOL)

I do like most of the new Marvel films though. Especially the ones With Cap America in! But I am and always have been a fan of Captain America and Captain Britain. Not a big X-man fan though.

But Yes! Your point is well taken. All of the threads on LAF are very inspirational and so much to look at you are bound to miss something! I know I do!

As you say thanks to all the great People who inspire us all!

After my esteemed colleague further inspired me with his own efforts in his Frostgrave thread! (See earlier link up this thread! Coopdevil)

I have started my Building blocks and Cotton reels project to add further jumble to Jaffa!

I got a massive tub of 100 blocks from my local Tesco at £10 the tub! This has been somewhat denuded as you can see. But I slapped in my Jenga blocks so I knew where they were!   Also in the bag is my collection of Brain-teaser wooden puzzles full of useful bits! More on these in a later posting!


My one man and two man tents! Tents made by gluing two traingular wooden blocks together then wrapping in labels to make the linen effect (When painted of course) add in two little plastic sticks and a bit of milliput!


Still need work on the tent flap!

Cotton reel column rows. Made from the sides of Domino boxes and cotton reels in between. Labels applied and elastic bands to help glue.

For a sense of scale.


The ensuing build.

Big block on the left is an After Eight Mint box.


I am still working my way through bits and pieces and having a lot of fun deciding what I want to do with the leftovers!

[d phipps]

Excellent work! 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

I've given in and ordered some blocks, it's all your fault!!!!!      

[MalcyBogaten]

Excellent work!  

Thanks for that. though I Know they aren't much to look at at the moment. I just get started on a project and usually forget to photog the stuff to show how I did it!
You can tell I nearly forgot here! As I had started painting most of the bits.
I am Chaos!

I've given in and ordered some blocks, it's all your fault!!!!!      

I hope you will post what you have done! When you get them.

Feel free to stick in a link. I am always happy to see if I can knick Ideas!

  Yes, the Jaffa bug has bit me, too.  I am stockpiling cheap dominoes and wooden beads.

[Gulix]

Very inspiring ! Thanks !
I got to go in the sewing room of my wife to steal some empty "columns"

Very Brave Man!! I salute you Sir!

I am now wondering if I put all my Jaffa stuff together? Would it be visible from orbit?

I know I can't fit it all on the table. So the garden may be an idea!!!

[MalcyBogaten]

Here are some of the bits I have been playing with plus some Dinos from Poundland with a tiny bit of repainting!

I wanted to make some Pallisade walls to add to my other bits. Purchased some kiddy colouring pencils 48 for £1 and some lollipop sticks 80 £1. You get three pieces of pallisade 4.5 inches long and 3 inches tall out of each pencil packet! Of course loads of lolli sticks left over!

They will of course be painted and possibly strengthened.



Dinos also £1 each. A tiny bit of painting around the head and in the mouth.









Graveyard layout.

Tents around the campfire. Those wooden blocks.


Modular temple rebuilt again!


I am still in the process of doing more building blocks! I think I have ploughed myself under!

[d phipps]

Fantastic! I really like how your tents turned out. 

[MalcyBogaten]

Thanks! It was another what if!?

Sorry I have not had a chance to post more WIP piccies yet! New Part-time job and my internet has not been great and still isn't! 

I will try to get pics of my new pallisade walls and Tanagram dock wooden puzzles up tomorrow as I am waiting for someone to take samples from my water supply for Lead content!!

As I said to my mates! Considering my Miniatures collection size! IRONIC!
