Review - Terrain Crate 2 - Trees

Review - Terrain Crate 2 - Trees

So its been a while, between lockdown and work exploding, but i have still been painting… and buying stuff.

I backed the original Terrain crate and have 95% of it painted, barring a few pieces that don’t fit my stuff or are too thin to be of any use (one major issue with terrain crate).

So when the 2nd one came up i backed it straight away, especially as it covers more genres than fantasy.

In the end I got one of each crate and 2 extra boxes of things i thought i wanted more of.

TT Combat Comms Tower

TT Combat Comms Tower

I have always liked TT Combats kits, i have heaps of them, almost all their residential houses, quite a few of the commercial buildings (including ruined versions) and some of the moonstone ones. i just started with their scifi stuff and the first one i got was the Comms Tower.

Annddd, it was a pig of a kit. i have assembled worse but nothing like this from TT Combat.

What I painted this 'week' - 18/8/19

What I painted this 'week' - 18/8/19

Trying to keep track of what i painted each week, so i dont forget and its easier to take small batches of photos than lots at once. Reality is it wont be weekly, and this post is for what i finished last week, but this week is the post. essentially everytime i post i want to post what i have finished since last time.

I am only posting whats finished, so sometimes it looks like heaps as i finished off lots of small things that were 90% done. and we will definitely go through phases as i work on different games.

Shipping Containers

Shipping Containers

I got inspired by watching the Black Magic Craft video on making Shipping containers and remembered the ones i built over 10 years ago.

I had realised you never really want just 1 container and i always wanted to play a game that was set in that awesome scene in Batman begins when he is taking down bad buys in the container yard.

So i decided to make my own. now back then my ex wife and I ran a painting studio (well she did the painting) and we also sold resin bases - business was Ironhalo Painting. the business is defunct now, but i have all the molds and originals if i ever need anything.

Weathered Cars for Zombie Games

Weathered Cars for Zombie Games

I am building a table for a convention my club is having in August, for a large TWD game. Heaps to do and i may need to scale it back a bit if time and work (and a 3 month old daughter) get in the way.

the table is going to be able to be changed, so the pieces need to be seperate rather than a sculpted table.

Starting off i am working on some of the abandoned vehicles that will be laying around.
