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.

  7. 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!

    "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!
