A detailed account of my various commission/hobby projects.
Historical – This is the second batch of 20mm Modern figures I’ve painted up for Force on Force. I think I really enjoy the simplicity of painting up small scale minis to a basic standard. This batch is more Insurgents and US Military.
Read MoreTerrain – 3D printing is all the rage these days. There are some amazing designers selling stuff on Shapeways, super creative generous people that upload designs to thingiverse and a plethora of etsy shops that specialize in table top accessories. In fact there’s so much cool stuff out there it’s sometimes hard to cut through the clutter and find the best stuff.
Read MoreGaslands – I'm incredibly excited to start playing Gaslands. Having converted a few cars, I picked up the dice and templates as well as material to build some gates. Wandering around my local train/hobby store I found that the HO scale stuff looked to be close to Hot Wheels size. (The clerk informed me that Hot Wheels are technically "S" scale, but the don't carry that because most Railroad guys don't like that size so it's a specialty item.) The carry a very inexpensive plastic girder system that seemed like it would suit my needs and budget for this game. (part of the draw for this game are the 99¢ models honestly, followed closely by the nostalgia factor of playing with Mad Max style cars)
Read MoreGaslands – One day I'll finish a race – honestly. I had a chance to play several games of Gaslands and have yet to make it further than Gate 2 before losing all my cars. I probably am pushing to hard and not managing my Hazard tokens well enough which means I flip or hit something and then the rest of the pack catches up.
Read MoreGaslands – One thing about "mad-maxifying" Hot Wheels cars is it's pretty easy if you're not concerned with be accurate or to scale. It's also really enjoyable to mash together parts to make something unique for your Wasteland Warriors to ride in.
