As Monday was a bank holiday, me and two other members of my gaming club, met up to do some good old fashioned board making, off we popped to a local builders merchant and came back with my car loaded with sixteen 2' by 2' tiles of mdf, not bad for 30 quid...
We sat around and discussed what kind of boards we could make for a while, we eventually settled on two 6' by 4' boards one to be a Martian Desert, the other, a World War-esque No Man's Land, the latter, to eventually be extended to a massive 12' by 6' complete with trench system and so on...
anyway, here's how we got on:
 |
| A nice sunny day, perfect for board making... |
As you can see the No-Man's Land board is coming on nicely, needs a few touch ups, but it basically there, I even started building some scenery for it...
 |
| Don't worry, there will be more scenery than this on the board |
The theme for the No-Man's Land board, will be heavy devastation, blown up vehicles, forests that have been obliterated by shell fire and even the odd ruined building...
Now for the Martian Desert, here are some WIP shots, of both the board and the scenery, the theme for this will be Rocky Outcrops, Sand Dunes, a Mechanicum Research Facility etc, etc.:
And here was how the board was looking this morning:
 |
| Certainly coming on... |
This was until the weather decided to be a wanker...
 |
| Not looking so smart now... |
And so here is the board, as it stands, I'm praying that my hard work making the Martian board has not been wasted...
 |
| Sat in the Airing Cupboard... |
Bloody Weather...
