I love the new additions.

When do you fancy doing a group shot of everything so far....?

It might be quite difficult; the only place I can set everything up is not somewhere that the lighting is all that great, so I might have to pack everything over to a friend's since he has a proper photo studio. I'll see how it goes (or just bite the bullet and buy more lights, I guess).

Anyway, in the meantime here are some more trade goods, courtesy once again of pillar of the community Curtis at Ramshackle Games:

Brilliant additions, that Ramshackle catalogue is wonderfully useful, isn't it?

I fully sympathise with the difficulty in taking pictures.
No worries, I was just being greedy and demanding more.

All right! I have completed the original four market stalls and taken a few photos. Here's the group shot, and I'll try to post more shortly.

It is from a novelty gifts shop thing called "make your own zombie movie" which I got in a charity shop for a quid
 I have two more, which I wrote about here:

Blog post is now up. I don't think there are a lot of models that are new if you've been reading this thread, but I did finish the food stall:



Anyway, the whole thing is here: http://gonzohistorygaming.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/post-apocalyptic-market-complete.html

I think I will always be adding stuff to this -- I still want to do a gate with sign, a clinic, some cages, a stage and at least two more guards -- but I'm going to say that the core of it is done.

Another fine example of capturing worn, corroded and rusted stuff. Just excellent!

+1 for the dead bugs. I bought a load from a cheap shop after last Halloween, based them ALL up for 1950s 'B' movie games. Never thought of your idea. Can't bear to rip stuff off bases, so I'll have to wait until after next Halloween.

Yes, my bugs came from the same kind of thing. I used some of the others to make swarms and things for D&D, but I'm particularly fond of this guy:


He's a bit crude, but memorable.
