Ah, that does sound pretty .
Personally, I wouldn't go back. After what the police said. Maybe you'll get lucky and have a good time, but if you go on holiday you don't want to "get lucky", you want a good time to be guaranteed (even if that may be impossible).

I have a scar on the inside of one of my heels from where I dropped a glass between my bare feet as a child. It wasn't the first scar and certainly wasn't the last. Hope he heals fast and gets a cool scar to show off in the future.

Also curious about submersible LED lights?

Question:

Are the walls supposed to be stood on when in the down position?
Asking because I am wondering about the inside face of the walls. Should I make them a continuation of the landing platform, or should I put struts and things on them, the "Official" one looks to have reinforcing beams on it, but how level should it be?

I am not worried aabout strength....(2 large metal minis)





Thoughts?
I always assumed that you could place models on them. But I, like you Cam, don't know the rules.
I would make it look like support beams, but make it able for any model to stand on it.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a great break....and as the doc advises, going back hoping to get lucky probably isn't the best course.....

I'd say if the walls are down they're playable areas so go with subtle reinforcements that don't prevent them being stood on.

Nice little haul by the way, interested to see how the zombie dio turns out......

No, it's either "flaps up" or "flaps down/off".

I think it looks great the way you finished it.

Don't forget the old Orc rule of "it fits as many models as will stay on it, any that fall off roll on the chart" I say someone years ago make a battle wagon which was covered in Velcro. He stacked 60-70 orcs on it and it almost doubled in width, and only one model fell off, but lived .

Cheers guys. bit more done.






At the moment the walls are hinged via bolts. They do come off, thats how I am doing the extra, and should allow you to paint it Gits. Could take the bolts out and replace with magnets later so they can be removed easier.

Thanks for looking, C & C welcome.

you have that really thin wire you can use for floral stuff or other artsy things?... I would add little lightning bolts to the little balls ..wire for the structure and then some sculpting to get the lightning zig zaging effect...

so that this might look like this?...

and I am still not that sure about the runtherder stick you put in the middle......

What sort of thoughts would you like?

Looks good to me. Seems to have plenty of cables (and can't really have any tentacles ).

Little lightning bolts would be a good opportunity to encourage some OSL.

I think there needs to be more loose wires , its not very orky to not have extra wires laying around that might or might not be hot.

Wirez...needz moar wirez....cover everythingz in wirez...lotz'n'lotz'n'lotz'n'lotza wirez. Then throw in a few more wires and a couple of cables just for good measure

Although....Gits may not be that fond of painting wires

Maybe just a couple of wires........


How about stripping some wire and using strands of the inner fine wire to represent electric arcs between the five nodes?



Something like that....but better

Nice looking ramp That is a great idea to have a ramp up to the pad itself....I'll have to remember that whenever I get back to terrain.

Now with the ramp you need a "Evil Sunz Kineivel" to make a jump....and a flaming hoop, you already have the cambulance ready.

Just got to add all the little detail, and pop it in the post. Should I hope have it done today and posted tomorrow, but can't promise nothing just in case.
