The Bridge over the River Smut
« on: 01 March 2016, 11:27:52 AM »
This is turning out rather well, I think, so I can't stop myself from sharing a preview of this WIP.

This is a 60x60 square of my modular gameboard. Currently is will serve as a portion of my fictive NWF setting, late 20s-early 30s. What you see is the bridge spanning the river Smut at the cataract by the Pillars of Smut in (you guessed it) the valley of Smut in the general northern borderlands area of the North West Frontier.

Thats looking impressive ;D

I can see a small guage train carrying an Indian Prince and his American guardian under the protection of a stalwart British officer trundling across that bridge ;)

I can see a Belgian reporter jumping off the edge. Very nice start. I think I'm going to enjoy this thread.

Not yet. It is about to be spray painted, hilited, flocked and water-effected.

Hahaha... You are mocking me, sir. Yes, it was a careless shot from the hip with the Iphone. The march of idiots across the bridge was a fluke. :-)

The bridge is made from an IKEA wood wash stand, by the way.
