DIY Frostgrave Ruins - my modest attempts at modelling.

[mister c]

This is a great project.
The two half buildings are a great idea, you could make a rubble pice to fit inside them, it would come in usefull as a rubble pile in its own right anyway.

Hello all, thank you for the feedback and suggestions. Its much appreciated.

Progress On The DIY 28mm Ruins

What I've got painted, so far.

Possibly not evident from the photo's is that the external and internal walls are two differing colours.
I've left them pretty plain and generic so as to facilitate multi genre and period use.

Cheers for looking.

Looks great, I like the stonework stripped of plaster look on the edges of the ruin.
Thanks for sharing

Coming along very nicely, Roy!

To Do
Four more buildings to paint up.

Possibly tone down the paint jobs - Though they are actually a lot less brighter than they appear in the flash photography. There's also more coloured layers than is to be seen in the photo's.

Think about adding some static grass or grass clumps to the terrain bases so it blends in better with the tabletop - Though this is dependent upon what choice of tablecloth I use. If its of a brown colour (muddy) then I'll probably forego any grass.

Not counting the cost of the Minibits trees, nor the GW grass mat, I reckon I've spent around £15 or so on the DIY ruins so far (there's four more to paint, not shown, remember).











Cheers,
Roy

Just knocked this together in the joiner's workshop. A skirmish-sized battle-board, that I can use for both DMH (Dead Man's Hand) and my Miniature Paintball Game idea.



Originally I measured up for the ruined buildings I've been making, but post-polyfilla I realised it could probably see use as an Old West game-board, too. Luckily, the 4Ground buildings I have fit!



What might not be obvious from the photo's is that the board features four raised areas, and the central x-route is sunken.



Three coats of various brown paints later and it'll be good for the western United States and paintballing among some ruins. Oh, there's Frostgrave* too. I Might have to call my games Mudgrave.

The metal handle on the wooden framework was my Father's idea. Great idea, Dad!

*Yes, it's probably too small for Frostgrave.

Interesting idea for the board, at first I thought you had based it on a pasting table.
what size is it?

[RoyWilliamson]

Hello mister c, sorry for the late reply.

The board's 30" x 24".

There's more shots of it here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=86808.0

I reckon it will now, primarily, be for Old West gaming, as I'm working on a second board to extend the layout. But, if needed, it can be used for other games still.

Cheers,
Roy
