This evening I set about filling the gaps in the Sumo Ring.
While doing so I realised it was much bigger than the small ruined house I made. With the help of the miniatures I realised that although a bit bigger it wasn’t super massive. I did it with a 60% reduction. Problem is o cannot remember by what amount reduced the house by. I really, really should write this stuff down, or at least put it in the same place!
This evening I fought with the PC to download some more miniatures for the Geek Club. I eventually got some stuff sliced and printed, but too late to take them in tomorrow.
I couldn’t find any of my Vallejo Air that had WW2 German armour colours among the ranks so I did the next best thing… Contrast fir the tracks, Xpress colour for the German and Speedpaint for the British.
Not perfect, but they will do …apologies to any purists out there.
So tomorrow I find out where is available for me to move onto… for those that have been following for a while, they decided to go with HQ and my little school is to shut and my most amazing team are being redeployed, as am I for that matter. None of us want to go, but have no choice. As an officer of the council I have to be careful what I say, but it is an absolute crying shame (feel free to add in any expletives you see fit).
Well this evening I went a bit wild and undercoated whatever I could find black. This was mainly terrain.
I also did more printing, this time it is a Sumo ring in 15mm for my mates birthday next week. I already printed and cured the street fish ponds. An image can be found Here
One of the kids at the Geek Club really likes wolves so I have printed her three new ones at 150%.
On Friday in Geek Club we made the start on a cave for them.
I spent more time on the foam than finishing my lizardman. We still have to get some foil work on the rock and base area. It is still a bit boxy, but will sort that next week.
This evening I sorted out the new chemical tank. This one is a little more complex than the other one. It has screens and buttons etc, but it is still going to work well.
I have sprayed it black ready for the white dry brush tomorrow.
I am printing a second one right now. My plan is to have at lest two joined by a walkway. Three would be better but I am not sure if I can be bothered to paint three.
Well I downloaded Alien Isolation… bad for two reasons… one I need to change my underwear and two I got sod all done this evening.
For anyone who hasn’t got a clue what I am talking about… the game is set after Alien. Ripley’s daughter is trying to find some information about her mother’s disappearance.
Off they pop to Sevastapol Station (a giant space station) where it is believed that the voice recorder from the Nostromo has been deposited. Weyland Yutani has bought the station off Seegson… basically two mega corporations… with good old Weyland winning the total spithead of the year award.
Sadly the voice recorder is not the only thing to have arrived on the space station. I am now hiding in a locker in game until my heart rate slows down a bit. Sadly the beating AI is very good and it will start checking them.
Well this evening I was a busy boy! I redid the new vehicle and added my own supports and they seem to be working, the first build plate was a success. This included failure pieces from yesterday.
I also did some posters for the terrain, first off they were far too big, so I had to shrink them down by 50%.
My nail art jewels came today to become rivets on the MDF terrain.
