I wish I had learned about this game in time for the Nickstarters.  Any idea if these can be ordered now from somewhere?

Love your work, Harry. The marbling looks great.




that marble effect is great Harry.
Thanks very much....I have seen this piece done in a wood effect and it looks really cool like that too.

Excellent work Harry, I wanted to get some ideas for the breading pits ,thats sort of where
my ideas were going, but it was one of those that I couldnt quite fix in my mind.
The walls and doors are perfect.
Im wondering if the scenarios will be an "exit the board by the doors only"?
That could make for getting the treasure out just that little bit more exciting!
Especially is you have wandering monsters coming in :D
Very good work mate.

So Frostgrave has a river running through the middle of it apparently.

I also need a river for another Project I am working on at the moment.
G.R.O.G (Gloucestershire Retro and Oldhammer Gamers)....have settled on a plan for Oldhammer day this year
This year G.R.O.G. will be running a game we have been calling ...

"Coldhammer"  

This is a 'Frozen' version of Oldhammer .... specifically first edition Oldhammer.
We will be doing some stuff set in the Redwake River Valley campaign included the First edition of Warhammer.



As you can see the river is a bit of a key feature .... and crossing the river is a feature of a number of scenarios.


Here is the start I have made on the river.

I started off with some river sections from my good friends at Amera plastics, :D
As soon as I got these I realised how easy it would be to ceat a great frozen river as the thin plastic sheet would be perfect for ice extending out into the middle of the river. So the first thing I did was to cut each piece in half witha wiggly line straight down the middle ....
Then stuck them onto some more whte plasticard and cut to shape.

Next I was going to need a way across.
So a long time ago when I was a boy I had this great Airfix kit that was a checkpoint. it had a tower with a spotlight and a barrier and a sentry hut and it had a bridge.
Here it is



They have recently re-released it



So I needed to do aa bit of work with clay to get this to join the river pieces:







Finally I needed to make a ford ... fords are a feature in the red River valley campaign.

Then just needed to 'pimp' the pieces up a bit with some vegitation and the odd rock .... Here they are ready for the paint job:









Here is the last piece I made by chopping up two of the smaller corner pieces to make myself a tight bend:

Indeed. this (rivers) is going to be great.  :-*
And your Christmas board earlier in the thread is still one of the best boards I've seen.

Amera do some nice stuff don't they, and you've made it look fantastic.
always nice to see an Airfix box too ...  :)
