28mm Workshop WIP.

Hi Chaps,

well I caved in and bought some Victorian miniatures for the "Steam Punk" type of game despite not having a table full of terrain. The free rules from Empire of the Dead just ticked all the boxes and I thought that it would be a fun game for my son and I. So I need terrain and this is the first piece, it is a work in progress, as yet it needs the base completing and a sign above the door with a name on it but I thought that I would share a little of the process.







This is a basic model and it looks totally pants in the planning stage....scoring all those bricks into the card becomes a chore but once the final paint is on I forgot the repetitive work. Next up are some terraced houses and shops then a grander house. Pretty soon I will have a 2 foot square board ready for most adventures....not perfect but very cheap!

Thanks for looking.

    Really effective I have to say. Agreed, the brick effect is truly excellent. Wish I was clever!

    Thanks Chaps,
    I have two boards cut now...this is a learning curve, I will be experimenting with seperate floors, the only problem is where does one stop?? 28mm furniture?
    Oh well after the poor houses its a pub and a shop, altogether this will cost around £6.00 so it is within budget!

    Really nice brickwork. Have you tried rabbeting the corners to hide the join?

    Thanks for the comments...I wish I had come on here this morning...I just glued and pinned two buildings together and then read..
    "Have you tried rabbeting the corners to hide the join?"
    That really was one of those moments when I realised just how limited my IQ actually is! Damn it, I will rebate the future buildings...why did I not think of that....Cheers Versuvius!
