Part 1
Michael’s been busy writing a supplement for Burrows & Badgers, and it contains a scenario for a bar-room brawl. He handed me a picture of what he’d envisioned for the scene and asked if I fancied building a bar-room for us to play-test the scenario on… and I relish any excuse to dig out the blue foam, so challenge accepted!
The playing space is based on the ‘Brock’s Rest Tavern’ building that Sarissa make for Burrows & Badgers. My challenge was to make a larger version of the inside of the pub so that there’s room to play the scenario. Basically, it’s an L-shaped room (aprox. 24” x 18”) split into two sections, a lower stone floor and a slightly raised wooden floor. So the first job was to cut the floor sections – Hindsight’s a wonderful thing, and if I was to make this again I’d cut the whole bottom layer from one piece, but I cut them separately and later on glued them together (so it’s all good!). The lower floor is 11” x 12” and the upper level is 18” x 12” which I cut two of in order to raise the level (I used 10mm blue foam).
The next job was to detail the wooden floor, so with my trusty bic pen and a ruler I drew lines ¼” apart along the length of one piece of the upper floor and then marked them into planks.
I then drew some wood-grain details on the planks which will hopefully show up when I paint/dry-brush it later.
