I’ve
finally finished two of the many 28mm scale wooden Commercial Style Buildings
by “Wargame-Model-Mods” I plan to construct in order to play “Across The Death
Earth” by “Dead Earth Games”. As the rule set is based in a post-apocalyptic environment
and designed as a skirmish game I want to be able to populate a 3x3 table with
as much ‘cover’ as possible.
In
addition I am slowly painting up the five “West Wind Productions” models I plan
to use as the start of my State gang. All the figures are from their “Empire Of
The Dead” range and I’ve now finished most of the blue undercoat on the British
bobbies, and even started double-washing them with black shade. I am slightly
struggling with the finer detail of their black and white sleeve markings, but
think I have worked out an approach using a black ink wash prior to some black and white
line work, that is both reasonably quick and produces a neat result. I’ve also
managed to get some areas painted on my Queen ‘Queenie’ Victoria gang leader
model, having painted her blue sash and the majority of her light machinegun.
Looking great mate lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. Ruddy FB!!! :-)
DeleteLoving the build, great work and that Queen Victoria is certainly a firm favourite of mine too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I can see my 'Queenie' dominating many a game with that light machinegun of hers.
DeleteI really like the texturing on your ruined buildings. You wouldn't think they were made of wood.
ReplyDeleteCheers Vampifan. I'm not a fan of the textured paint - as its seems to go everywhere but on the wood - but when its all over and done with, it does produce some nice effects.
DeleteLooking good matey, very nice work
ReplyDeleteThanks Chico. Much appreciated :-)
DeleteGreat progress so far dude!
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob. Getting there slowly but surely...
DeleteAll looks good, but some rubble (more cover) needed imo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Zabadak. I forgot to put in my posting that I like to keep my floor spaces clean because my rubble etc is glued on circular bases in order for me to mix and match both the looks and periods. I'll post up some pics next time to show what I mean :-)
DeleteTop stuff. This is going to be another case of me seeing somebody else's idea and planning on 'borrowing' it later ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers Roy and don't worry, 'borrowing' is one of the big plus factors for all the blog postings I follow :-)
