Thanks chaps - these were super easy and give good results for relatively little effort.

Continuing my retro look at the last couple of weeks...

Fiasco Haul
A group of us went over to Leeds at the end of October for the Fiasco show, we made a weekend of it visiting the Armouries museum on the Saturday, and having beer and a very tasty curry on the Saturday night. Went to the show on the Sunday - and found it was across the plaza from the Armouries not in the museum itself. The appearance of a Spitfire outside (parked) caused us all to question if we had just walked past it without noticing the previous afternoon - but apparently it had arrived early in the morning.

Bought a few bits and pieces

African Animals from Pendraken


And some resin Sci-Fi terrain for 28mm games, but it might well work for Epic too



Also picked up some clever MDF sci-fi terrain from Warbases that uses drinks cans as part of the build to make storage tanks  (no photos of these though)

There's nothing like going to a show and getting a few bits it always feels a little bit like Christmas for me

Take care

Too true, its that rummaging and spotting things that you haven't seen before, that fit with the various games you need things for.

Talking of which... I made two of the Warbases kits tonight, they went together well, only complex bit was working out how the pieces at the far end of the coke can went together (out of the photo).

Not entirely sure about colour schemes, thinking basic grey as a starting point, not sure if the cans should be distinct from the frames?

[Womble67]

Looks really good

Take care

Got some spraying done this weekend. Managed to spray two 28mm British tanks, one olive drab, one sand - but forgot photos of them...

Also sprayed the sci-fi terrain made with the drink cans, as the cans weren't glued into place at this point they kept falling over in all directions   An empty drinks can is light enough, but then putting some MDF on the top really unbalances it.

Here they are sprayed and glued together, now to add a bit of detailing, might try to find some warning signs online and print them out.

Thanks chaps. These have come out nicely, I was hoping they would be fairly quick, look good and take up a lot of space on the table.

[lowlylowlycook]

That's a nice, industrial looking, blue.

[Terry37]

Flocking

Didn't get a lot of hobby stuff done this week, the main thing I did was to flock and add magnetic sheet to a load of 10mm figures that I painted and based a little while ago. this was rather overdue as the LoA figures have already been used in a game with bare brown bases    



These look so much better for the addition of some green to the bases.

[petercooman]

Yes they do!

Especially like the cannons!

[paulr]

Seconded

[Techno]

Thirded !

(I like that particular Sharpie pen, too.....Really useful.)

Cheers - Phil

[Womble67]

They look great Fred

Thanks chaps

The sharpie is very handy it has a normal point on one end and a super fine one one the other- very useful for labelling small bags of figures
