Dark Angels and Space Wolves

   
          More half finished projects from the painting table. The DAs were only primed. The wolves just needed basing.

          DA Land Raiders. Reb flag, the voice, cypher's dirt tricks again, or maybe the fallen have invaded my paint table.

           Plasma Heavies DAs. AHHHHhhhhhhhh buddy

20mm FoF US and terrain items

           I really truly need to finish shit and clear out some room. One selling off old BS on fee bay and crushing almost done projects.
          These all were knock about the painting table. Some needed basing. Others finishing touches.

Swift boat operators

Riverron operators

          "SandS" Trucks. Sweet pieces. I got just about every one SandS makes. These are the first two off the painting table.

City Table V

          Roads.............Holy cow..........roads. A crazy drinking monkey told me I would need more road tiles then any crazy monkey would ever want. Yeah yeah i said, I got me plenty. Well he was right. 200 beans and 2 days later SmoothOn to the rescue. Screw you FW, if you sold the dam things, I would not be wasting me good time.

          I initially planned on mounting a selection of tiles to plexi with white glue. What a mess! Two days of bull docking around got me no where with the white.

          I ran down to CVS for some old school rubber glue. The shit your mates were sniffing in 8th grade. It will get ya high, but attaches roads to plexi like it was its sole job.

         Then right on to the lego tactical ops. I rubber glued them down too. Then lined it out with clay, to stop any leaks.

          Mold release. There is nothing worse than digging your master out of rubber. Two light coats and one high with an after brushing.

         12oz of each part A and B. Total guess! But you'll notice I selected the 60. With the extra pot time, you can add more on top if you screwed the volume/amount guess. Also it allows for extra mixing and time for the bubbles to pop up to the surface.
          I also use an unconventional tool. I hold a vibrating dick to the outside of the blocks and rub it along the plexi. I believe this helps the bubbles float to the top.
          After curing for 20 hours. De-mold time. It need some cleaning up, but I am very happy.

       
          I will have to make at least two more molds. Than I should be able to pour out enough roads to cover two GW realms of battle boards. Plus do some interesting cuts and angles with the roads throughout the city.

RF & F Part 1

          Its not like I don't have enough projects going. Epic city table, FoF, Zombies, Colonials, and M&T. Why not start 15mm Regimetial Fire and Fury too. Well I always play it at the HMGS cons. I have a great time and it would be easy to teach others how to play. The plan is to buy most of it. GeoHex for terrain, and ebay or flee market entire armies.

         First go around I picked up painted 15s at 20 cents a dude. They just needed so love and rebasing. It took forever. In that time space I gobbled up more in the same state. This is going to take forever. I should have bloodly well commissioned the whole project.







         Anyhow these are the first two units. 8 Stands each. The North got a CMD stand in there. But for the most part I will be focusing on INF stands.

City Table IV

          The road tiles leading up to the Acropolis were changed out to the ruined road tiles. I did this because the tiles were smaller and allowed for more flexibility in laying down the road. Also the original idea of pinning the tile down while they dried with magnets caused them to shift position.

          For the road bed Pre-mixed grout was used. I am comfortable using it, its water based, long dry time, and looks like sand when dried. Besides I am sticking down tiles. 
         Bonus when pressing the tiles down into the grout, the grout fills the gap between each tile.

          The completed up hill road. The last tile lifted or flexed off the hill top as it dried. I don't know exactly how I will get it back down. I think my two best options are to; One heat it, glue it, and hold it down with magnets. Two score the top, cut out some of the road bed, and reattach it.

          While things were drying, I began working on the traffic circle's center piece. I took a light house base from some ship steam punk game and the DA from the box set. Both were ebay goodies. The DA was sprayed dark green. Then hit from an angle with light green. The base is not attached and both still need work.






          And I was dicking around with this guy again. Some days I hate painting him and others are a joy. But its a battle just to start up.

20mm Zombies

          Banged these dudes out at work. Slow week. Super easy!Which is good because I have 100 plus to do.

          Color primer, purple wash, blocked in, and dippped.

          Every day Dumpsters, Large industrial/construction dumpster, and bags.

City Table III

          This was the original idea. "I plan to complete at least tile every month. 8' by 6' means 12 tiles, one year to complete." Total fail! Life step in and shelved the project. (Along with painting and gaming.) Also MDF tiles are too much work. A Realms of battle board or two will be used instead.     
          With a new plan and energy. Completely stolen from Carl Woodrow who did it for Games day. Seen here; http://www.dropship.org.uk/epic/terrain06.asp. The GW boards are painted. I ass ton of roads poured out. Still many more to pour. And all sorts of forum-ware collected from across the globe. This is where I start. Actually it's day 5

        I will still be going with the Acropolis idea. The whole hill top will be fortified and will support dual function. One will be a shine and the other a space port. I have started off here on the hill quarter that had the best approach for a road. The approach road will have a traffic circle and fountain/statue at the bottom. The road going up will be blocked and secured.

          The traffic circle road sections below have been attached. Using the tank factory and extras to hold down the sections as they dry. Copying straight from Mr. Woodrow's idea, the roads will be set off angle to normal game play.
          Tonight I will use industrial magnets to keep the road section on the slope down as the glue dries

         These are forum-ware defensive lines. I wish, I had gotten more of them way back when. I could be hard pressed to encircle the top. The slope will have pill boxes counter sunk. Then the slope will be flocked.
