Well, after more than a year and a half of absence, I decided to post my progress in a miniature hobby. Too much has passed during this time (I started and finished taking painting kommissions, founded and developed another gaming club in my city, and many more different events), but now I'm ready to continue sharing it all with you.
Unfortunately, right now I have practically no miniatures painted, but in my life there was a grandiose (in my opinion) project for the construction of a terrain for gaming tables! This post will contain photos of several months of work, so most likely it will be very long.
How it all started - my supervisor and a good friend, together with whom we organized the club, asked me to make some interesting terrain for gaming tables. First of all, priority was given to fantasy and the Middle Ages, so the idea was to create something like Mordheim right away. Without wasting time, we immediately bought several construction designers and waited until this pile of sprues came to us:
(We may have screwed up the calculations a bit, but a lot - doesn't mean useless, right?)
According to preliminary sketches, the project was to include:
- several residential buildings without interior
- the magician's tower
- the tavern
- small market
- a castle with a modular system of walls and towers
- and some small accessories like a well, bulletin boards and other things
One of the main requirements for the terrain was the ability to use it both in large game systems, for example
AoS, and in small ones, for example Warcry. Roleplaying games also should not have been ignored. I also did not forget that the terrain should be hardy, not fragile and wash without problems.
Having organized our friends (and random visitors of the club
) who wanted to participate in this, we set to work:
(The first ideas on the castle wall and standard houses, which now look unsightly, without the necessary decorations)
In order to save construction materials, it was decided to make the upper floors out of plastic and decorate them with 3D-printed windows and all sorts of small things. The roofs were decorated with cut bamboo mats and the same plastic, but thinner.
In the first couple of weeks, we made several full-fledged houses, a huge and detailed mage tower (seriously, a lot of details from three different terrain parts, sticks and bits went into this cadaver of architectural ideas
), as well as basic elements of roads.
(The tiny town is growing, and just look at this cute guy next to the tower to estimate its size How will he climb up?)
At the moment, the production of the city has stalled somewhat, but we do not plan to stop there (just as we do not plan to paint it in the near future
) Now the city is overgrown with several more houses, an unfinished stable, a bunch of fences and towers for the castle wall. Also not so long ago I finished a large tavern and a market to it. Tiny shops of merchants with this hardware cute me so much
(In monochrome design, this city already looks impressive.)
(I really like this tavern, but damn, how difficult it will be to paint it... )
In general, this project still has a lot to grow. Thank you for reading this (and withstanding my bad English
), I hope that I will post reports on this project even more often!
