FIW: UD 13/5 More Warlord plastic conversions & a skiff

[Silent Invader]

Am not going to show a stage-by-stage with this project but given the discussion about the yoga block above, it's worth updating that the UHU does the job of holding the EVA to the MDF, and the Evostik does the job of gluing the foam board and cork to the EVA.



The filler will be applied over a smear of the Evostik so I'm confident that it will take to the EVA as well.

Looks very promising mate

Will look grand when it's ready!

I think my missus would notice if I nicked her yoga roll... but it sure is a tempting idea

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps

Don't let me encourage you!

[Malamute]

Coming along nicely.

[Silent Invader]

I thank you. 

As an aside, yoga blocks also make great tree holders!!

Those trees look lovely. Are they homegrown?

They're not made by me. They come from

who Jimbob introduced me to. There were a few on the board you played at BLAM.

The bigger they get the more expensive they get (obviously) but fortunately I'm a fan of the small footprint that looks pretty 

Incidentally, I realised that I need to expand the rules a tad to better accommodate natives moving in and shooting from woodland, so I'm going to add something along the lines of the following:

Beneath a tree crown or within 2" of its trunk (whichever is the greater) counts as woodland unless specified otherwise.

If the players designate that it constitutes woodland or similar close terrain, Natives (and those with Native skills) may take the moving and shooting parts of their turn at the outside of the table edge, subject to any standard restrictions that apply. While off-table in this way, they are deemed to be out of sight and cannot be targeted for shooting except at positions from which they have already revealed their approximate location by their own prior act of shooting (or some similar reveal). Minis that are off-table in this way cannot fight while off-table but can move on-table to do so. If desired, such off-table units can be replaced by hiding markers to be used in the normal way.

The intent is to suggest that the relatively open board exists within dense woodland that is the natural terrain of the Natives and which is available to them to exploit.

Thanks for the link to tree shoppe, have been looking for good birch trees for ages, I guess that's one place where to find them.

You're welcome.

An update on the overall terrain progress showing (from rear left to front):
 
1) the basic rock face before adding boulders and scree to the slopes
2) the sockets for the trees, before trimming flush
3) the lake with finer sand to the beach and riverbed

[Captain Blood]

Excellent progress Steve.

Love the boats.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks to you both 

Love the boats.

The beach and lake are really just to justify having the boats
