Purchases for various systems from May '40

 I made a pre order with May '40 for the Starterset of Pillage and tacked on some other items. Order arrived today after Sander received a ton of stuff on Saturday. Only missing a extra set of wattle fence (was in Backorder) but I will pick that up at Crisis this year. 

Starterset with extra animals (dead and alive)

Armed ladies for Pulp and SCW/WW2 and a Windmill that should work for Silver Bayonet up to modern times. 

Miners for Backwater Hicks, from Western days up till today, mostly Majestic 13.

"The Good" is purely for my own amusement. 

 

Hammer Time!

 Just not in the way you would think.....

Years ago I liked this post on Reddit.

 I liked it so much I wanted one for my Fallout gaming table. So I asked Patrick from Pat's Laser Cuttings if he could lasercut me a 28mm one after I sent him the details. And that he did.

As it always goes, I built it, but had issues with keeping it properly upright so after some bodging I got it to work. Primed it, painted it a little bit was stuck on how to get the text on.....and then into The Box TM it went in one of my many cleaning runs....

Out it came last week. I own a laserprinter these days so the lettering was 0 issue anymore. Some extra weathering, basing and done. Will work for my Modern, Post Apoc, Zombie and even my Cyberpunk table (if you visit a backwater). Yes, fun build this was.

Sarissa Precision N605 Colonial House (15mm) finished.

 This goes right into my Nam and Wadiya collection. No modifications other than adding 2 beads for planters. Fun and cheap little kit.

Warbases Sci-Favela Sewer Grate

 Went for something brighter to cheer up the table. Build is very easy, not that many parts, and I did not glue the grate to the top. 

You can get yours at: Warbases sci-favela-sewer-grate

 

My new vice is Vinted, it seems...

 Picked up this lot in Italy.

 

Gates for Gaslands, a sewer grate for Zona Alfa, a raised platform for Mordheim and yet another 1900's Warehouse. 

Hobbynight was spent well.


 

Changed the gates by reversing the Finish and Start signs (the 2 sets are identical) and using the big ol bag of lasercut letters I picked up a while back. My Start gate will just be 2 girder columns, a bit more space for a crowded start is always fun :)

Sarissa Precision N010 Destroyed Small House (modified)

 Finished building and modifying a N010. I sawed out the corner and extended the roof remains on the other side. Also some other detail changes but more about that some other day. 

Also took a pic of our local church when picking up the kids at Nonna's place. Should be nice to replicate for the roof.

I had a Sarissa Precision Weekend

 I've been a bit busy this weekend.

That is the Destroyed Town Scenery set done bar 1 Bombed Out Terrace House. That will be done this week, and maybe the other 2 I found in my stash (oops). For this lot I need to do the detailing, and the finishing toutches like tiles on the roof of the corner house, magnets for the shop (and I could use another 1 or 2 shops if I am honest). Fun little project this. All of the to be built extras will theme the board. Posterwalls for the Netherlands, UK, Germany etc. Old cars or Modern cars. Telephone poles or modern street lights etc. You get the idea.

All of the kits are easy to build and I even got the roofs now down to a quick process.

 

Finish it! - TT Combat OTS026 Wild West Warehouse finished!

 Started: October 2024

 And it is done.  Yes, I could do a ton more, but I won't. She is done and can go with the rest of my scenery and live on a shelf. Again, a shame this is OOP, but there are more MDF fish in the sea. 

Enjoy! 

 

 

Finish it! - WIP TT Combat Warehouse

 Date started: October 2024

Original topic: Warehouse for STALKER

 

 Right, I need the space for a Groupbuild so this one has to be finished by the end of the weekend tops. Need to finish the glazing today so it all can dry overnight, then final detailing on Saturday, Sunday at the latest.

Sarissa Precision - N022 Destroyed Single Storey House - WIP

 Received a coupon for 20% off from Sarissa this week, put a few items in the Shopping Cart and then went in the attic to see what I had in my stash. One of the items in my carst was this, N022 Destroyed Single Storey house. So....I removed that and started the build.

The house part was easy to build, nothing shocking there. The doors feel a bit weird as they are different from what I'm used to, so I opened one. They both still need a doorknob, I just rememberd, so I need to remidy that and just added it to my todo list.

The roof.....wasn't fun to build. The intact side isn't an issue, that had plenty of grip, the other 2 gave me a lot more issue. But eventually that was sorted and the roof set cleanly. Then I had to remove the nubs of the ground floor wall cause those interfered with the position of the roof. Something simple and quick to do. I cut a ton of 6 rib wide card sections of 3cm long and used those to cover the roof. For this one I'm going for pressed fibre plates. Added plenty of damage. 

The card is now coated in superglue, both outside and inside so it has a lot more strength. 

It's not the perfect house for Russian compared to the others, but you can do a lot with paint :) . This is the third house and I am aiming to make a total of 6 houses with ancillary buildings so I can mix and match for the village feel.
