The Walls

25/10/2016

Previously, in the Lost City of Carcosa, walls were seen…

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.Mother’s gonna make all your nightmares come true.Mother’s gonna put all her fears into you.Mother’s gonna keep you right here under her wing.She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,Of course mama’ll help to build the wall.

After my game with Richard, where I jury rigged some walls, I was shamed into producing some proper scenery items for them. On the Lead Adventure Forum for Frostgrave, I saw an idiot proof example, and promptly copied it.

5mm thick foam card sections 6×3″, on a sturdy card base half an inch wide for stability. Chopped up pizza box pieces for the clockwork.

All coated with textured masonry paint, this 5litre tub has kept me going for 15 years.

Painted grey (I had to get a new tester pot as I’d run out which left the B&Q paint mixer lady bemused) and then dry brushed.

Simples !

I did four, but turns out I might need another couple.

BoB/RCW: First Corps Russian Houses

06/06/2013

I bought a certain armoured car last week that had been advertised on TMP from 1st Corps, a subsequent visit to their web store and I stumbled on their scenery which I’d not seen advertised previously.

So with the upcoming RCW/Bo Big Game, I thought I’d nab them quickly. They arrived today. A house with porch and shingle roof, and a second house with thatched roof.

Outhouse, well and store house – always useful as clutter on the battlefield. The well also comes with a dinky little bucket. This would be a very useful objective in games set in arid/semi-arid areas.

The castings are niceand crisp with minimal flash.

They come as multiple piece castings.

Good internal details and believably thick walls.

1st Corps have now brought out (this week) a few more buildings
