Tomato products in our case. The single tall can was beans. The small cans were soup of some kind I think.

Last nights progress.... Primed!
All the terrain and the table topper is primed.
Now to paint it...

Pics.

Well I've prepared as much as I'm going to for Da Boyz GT 2013.

Pics of the table (for sale BTW)

Nice rust, very real.
I've been wondering why you had tanks on bases and now I see they are burnt out tanks. Good job.

Thanks doc. This looks like it could be a very fun weekend. The venue is gorgeous.

I'm now home... and occupied with making food for a benevolent horde on thanksgiving. (I'm cooking for a church "orphans dinner" on Fri. for those unable to get to family, without family, or otherwise alone)

Here is a link to the Photobucket album with all the Pics I took at Da Boyz GT 2013.

So the Leman Russ' are abandoned or wrecked hulks?

That rust effect is really bloody good on the silo cans! very authentic stuff :-) & the idea of burnt out Tanks is brilliant! I must steal that idea....

Yep. how wrecked is between opponents.

Hey sarge this thing is still loaded...

It's a great use for Ebay wrecks that are toasted...

I really like how you built the walkway. Very cool work.

Anyone else having a hard time viewing the P+M forum?

No. Dakka was giving me some issues yesterday, but seems to be working fine all day today.

Nice table arrangement, the tanks look as if they have been left sitting a few years, unsalvaged, the towers/walkways look beaten about by the winds that sculpted the rock towers.

Your welcome Galorn. I had similar trouble the other night.

Had the problem yesterday a couple of different times, just figured it was routine maintenance time.

Yeah it was freaking out for me too, finally yhr maintenance screen appeared, now it's better.

Blerg Boo for getting preoccupied...


Anyhoo....


Pics of stuff in progress.

a 2" by 2" tile


Scenic tiles to make larger arrangements for use as building components or interior of compounds consistent with Games workshops Zone Mortalis rules.


As far as I can tell from looking FW made a set of three tiles (empty, Hub, wall) and arranged these tiles in a couple of different 3x3 tile arrays that they then replicated and added to each other to make each 6x6 tile.

aaaand a crappy pic of my progress on a bit for Skalk's comp. not sure if it will be painted in time.

That looks great!

Thanks skalk. I've been mucking about in Sketch up planning components to get printed and then molded. I had to build to full scale mock ups to see if it would work, but now I have. Soon I will have the pieces to build ANY zone mortalis type layout size I want... at least once I mold and cast em.

That will happen as I get time and finances to pay for it though...

Sub assemblies and components to use in building sub assemblies and tiles


Possible Tile Layouts using the sub assemblies



Now that that is out of my head I need to catch up on Paid commissioned work,
Get the ranges of bases and other stuff Theo designed base ranges molded cast
and painted,
And Photoed
And posed on BIz website
And finish other base ranges I've had 1/2 done (Ice station Z21, Wildlands, Corrupted wastes) and etc... Gah I let the mountain of tasks grow a bit....

When you start producing those floor plates I would be interested in buying some. And I may as well pick up and atomic soda machine in the same order.

Which one/s? the Quad or the 2" diamond plate?

Both.

Nice looking plates.
Look forward to seeing the sketch completed irl.

 Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:

Ah. I'll be putting both on general sale in January. I have a mold for the large Diamond plate tile now . They will be sold for fifty cents a piece.

Thanks Doc, Me too... I have a proof of concept of the hub and wall segment made up, and I'll be getting a 3d printer early next year. I'll try to get them made up before then but I'm not sure off hand when I'll get that done.

That is so awesome. I'm really looking forward to this.

Thanks Skalk. I am just starting to regain my Mental Mojo to really work on things and promote myself. 2012-2013 was a very "interesting" time (in the sense of the Chinese Curse)

Merry Christmas Everyone!.

Merry Christmas to you mate as well
