City Gate and Wall WIP

This is a piece I was dared to make by Dora. I was looking at terrain manufacturers web sites for inspiration and Dora saw a City/Town gate piece and dared me to make one in my own style, so I've started work on it.
I still need to mount it on a piece of hardboard, but I'm not sure if I want to add more wall sections or not, since the whole idea is for the pieces to be modular.

Cemetery WIP and Completion.

I've been working hard on the cemetery, and yesterday, finally finished it.

Luck and the Cemetery WIP

Today, as Dora and I were returning from a trip to exchange some pants, I decided to stop by the Michaels in Rome. If you aren't familiar with Michaels, they are a craft store chain. I needed to pick up a new drybrush and some craft-paint for terrain projects but, as luck would have it, they had their Scenic Woodlands pre-fab trees on clearance. Unfortunately, I was the second guy to find this out and was only able to get two packs, an autumn set and an evergreen set. Jackpot!
I also found a set of headstones in the Halloween decor section. Five headstones for $3! I found the pieces to start on my long-put-off Cemetery. I plan to re-paint them and I'll put them up along with other WIP photos. As for now, I have started the base and taken a pic of it to start the show.

Ruined Wall and Tower Complete.



Having finished the beast, I've been moved to work on greater projects. I'll be adding them as WIP posts as they come along.
Here are a few pics of the finished Wall and Tower section. If you have any questions about the construction, feel free to ask.

Ruined Wall and Tower terrain WIP

Here are a few pics of a terrain piece I've been working on for a few weeks now. It started as an entry for a MiniWarGaming group build contest, but never got really started on. I decided to pick it back up with the re-launch of the blog.
It started out life as a Pringles can, 3/4 of a toilet paper tube and some 1/2 inch blue foam. Some depron foam carved with bricks as an outer sheath, paint, sand and presto, a tower!

Official Re-Launch!

Greeting fellow gamers!
It's been a long time since I've posted anything and it's time for that to change. I've decided to refocus the blog and its content. My older posts covered all sorts of junk, from my rants about old school movements to stupid movies. My new posts will be tightly reigned in and cover mini games, new releases, terrain projects I'm working on, minis I'm painting and RPGs and their aspect of the hobby.
I hope everyone enjoys the new focus and I will try to post new content as regularly as I'm capable.

Been messing with the layout.

I have finally settled on a layout for the blog and plan to stay with it for a while. I hope everyone likes it.
