Reduce the mountain!! 2017 painting progress!

[petercooman]

Well it worked for these ones i made a while back!

[petercooman]

Still no painting done, but more papercraft. If i keep this up i won't make my target  

two little boats


Two bigger ones


A free papercraft hut i got on wargamevault



I should really paint my pirates to use those boats

Is that your dummy in picture 3?
Technically, if you've made it, it's a figure and reduces the mountain.
To quote an ex 'Techinicalities count!"
So +5 to your score please!

Nope, the score is just for painting!

Those boats are really effective.

They are indeed! Are they just on heavy card stock?

Printer paper stuck to cereal packets. Recycling all the way!

[toxicpixie]

Handy! I wonder if we've any such left in the recycling...

[petercooman]

It has its drawbacks though. Since Dave graffam had his dollar sale over at wargamevault, my wife's cereals get dumped out of the box when they are still half full.

Hooray for sealing clips!!

I'd get shot if I did that. Assuming t'other half noticed

Absolutely! That's the way to do it. Do you scale Dave's kits for 10mm? If so, what percentage do you print them out at?

Cheers, M.

Actually these are all 25/28 mm scale. I have some buildings I want to try for 10 mm (world war ruins), but I think I'll just try to print them at 15mm scale and see how that goes. I have the 'older' pendraken ruins, and I think those were closer to 15mm and I like the way I can move figures in.

For ruins in 10 mm I would suggest getting his 'low ruins', those are simple enough to scale down:

Managed to finish dave graffams' biggest ship, the marauder. This big boy was the reason i went with his ships in the first place!

Mr Long John Silver (28mm scale from eureka miniatures) has kindly offered his services as the token pirate to show off the size of the ship(s).

comparison of my previous ship and mr Silver next to the marauder (their backsides are aligned, showing how much longer the marauder is)


comparison of the small boat and mr Silver next to the rest


Was a bugger to assemble, but i think she turned out great!! My only complaint about the kit, is that it has really low sides.would have liked them to be a bit higher. I imagine the decks getting wet constantly on that one!

Nice!
