Individual terrain bits.





7 TV

I picked up 7tv and two starter sets.  Nice crisp figures and our first play of the game went smoothly and was a lot of fun.

Sci-fy Buildings and terrain

I picked up some Antiocities buildings.  Very nice buildings that went together well.  I repainted them and added some minor details. They still need weathering so not quite done.


I also painted up quite a few of my sci-fy bits.  I made them into drop in features to go in the buildings.  That way I can use the same buildings for different scenarios. 






Again they are from multiple manufactures.  Here are some photos of them in place.

Jungle terrain

Just some jungle terrain.  Big ones are based on the 40k death world spines.  The rest are fish and fake plants based up.

counters or objectives

Hi all.  Have not posted for a while.  Computer battery died and the cat decided to eat the power cable. That is all fixed up and I have been doing a bit of work.

First off are these counters.  I figure that I can use them as wound counters or as objectives as needed.





They are based on warbases laser cut counters with a bits from a verity of manufactures.  Hope you like.

Bottle Brush Pine Tree Jig

I had some questions about my process for making trees.  Initially I posted this tutorial.  The guy had a post that is now deleted on how to make the jig so I am including a couple of photos of mine. 
All made out of scrap wood. 
 This one is a photo of the hand crank. 
It is almost all glued together.  I just screwed in the upright since that would not hold with glue alone.  It was pretty simple to build and works just like in the video.  One thing to keep in mind is that the length of the bed (the small board on top) gives you the maximum height of any tree that you make on the jig.  Mine can make pines up to twelve inches tall. 
Hope that helps.

To the trees

Hi all.   First up an update to my rubberized horse hair tutorial.  No photos unfortunately since I had to use it for another project.  The first try did not work.  The hair was brushed off and too fine.  I then used horse mane and tail hair collected over a period of time.  This was washed in dish washing detergent and let to dry until it was slightly damp.  Once it was slightly dame I put it in a salable freezer bag and added my rubber.  For the rubber I used mold making latex mixed one to one with water and added a couple of drops of dish washing liquid to breakup the water surface tension.  The whole bag was shaken up and mixed well and then I drained off any liquid latex left and pulled out the hair.  It was placed on a sheet of granny grating to drain completely.  

The project that I used it for was my forest and thought I would share.  Pines are made using this tutorial.  I followed it to make the armature and I used putty to make the bottom of the trunk.  Once the putty was set I spray painted them black, used spray adhesive to attach the flock and finished off with clear plasti-dip spray rubber.  The birch were made using my tutorial for Birch Trees. I added rubberized horse hair using fantastic elastic.  Once this was set I used the spray adhesive and plasti dip again when I added the flocking.  Bases are from 4 Ground.  I did a total of ten bases with twenty four removable tree bases.

Here are the photos. 



Here is the difference between the homemade rubberized horse hair and the purchased. 

Purchased
Home made

I tried this before without the plasti dip and the trees shed quite a bit.
All my forest together.

They fit in one little 35L box




I had just finished when one of the guys in my game group asked me to base his trees too.
