I’ll try this again…

Six-hour marathon last night on the last two flat battle boards. I got a drybrush down on the cobbles, put down different coloured washes to vary the stones, and gave the works a tan highlight. I put down flock in and around the cobbles, and will finish them at the store after work.

@oriskany It’s not that I’m building a lot of boards. The problem is, I’m having trouble getting motivated to finish them. As I explained to @unclejimmy , all the terrain I’ve donated to the store to date has been trashed or stolen, so I don’t want this latest stuff to suffer the same fate.

I’m almost done. The two river boards are complete:

I’ve finished four of six flat boards (the other two will be done today). I’ll post pics tomorrow. That leaves four geomorphic slope boards that are built, but need to be painted and flocked.

All the scatter terrain is done: four hills, four copses, six trees

Also, it’s harvest and berry picking season, and I work all day, and have an hour of commute time both ways, so I’m spread pretty thin… and the honey whiskey won’t make itself!

@unclejimmy Those Domaru are amazing sculpts. Infinity models are hands down the best sci-fi mini’s out there! As I mentioned, my LGS stocks them now, and it just so happens that I’m being compensated for teaching at a SAGE Teacher’s conference with gift certificates for the store! I’ll be looking at Ariadna models for Traveller PC’s. I’ll need a few female ones as well.

Funny how there was an outcry about pin-up girls, but rather than just put more appropriate clothing on the models, some companies started making them dumpy and androgynous. The girls in our game group want sexy characters, just like guys want beefy ones. They just need to look capable. I know Infinity makes some knockout female characters. I’ll likely get some Hasslefree ones as well. Top choices for PC’s thus far:

My current pick for a genius programmer/hacker NPC. She’ll be the ‘package’ that needs to be delivered to a rogue terraformer. A total princess/bitch. Should be fun. Appropriate dress for a desert world, don’t you think?

Nine votes? Doesn’t surprise me. There always seems to be a passive aggressive crowd lurking in the background on this forum, waiting for an opportunity to support some frothing attack post. I don’t understand why people just don’t find a different forum that is more suited to their beliefs/interests if they’re not happy here.

@mecha82 A shame there’s a pond between us. Our house has become overcrowded since we had kittens, and we have a little four-month-old sweetie named Scipio that will need a new home. His mom is trying to drive him away now that he’s older.

@tuffyears Don’t feel bad. I’ve lost entire painted armies. If you saw my garage you’d understand. 🙂
