Since I was quite happy with the results of my test desert building<\/a>\u00a0I decided to take Tony up on his challenge of making a town comprising of ten bases in a similar style.\u00a0I’ve not finished them yet but thought I’d offer a peek of the current progress. The first five are upto the point where they are ready for painting with a few more still at the cutting and glueing stage. Must admit that I find the cutting and glueing more fun than the painting as it feels much more creative.<\/p>\n

I’ve stuck to my original plan of where I can only using items from our own ranges. I’m trying to work bits from each of our ranges into the models. I’m probably most happy with a fence made up of solar panels from an Iron Stars battleship<\/a>. Not quite sure at the moment though how I’ll manage to work a 28mm fantasy figure<\/a> into a 15mm Sci-fi town!<\/p>\n

Since these pictures were taken the buildings have been undercoated and given a base coat so hopefully I’ll have the finished items to show off fairly soon. Obviously “fairly soon” could actually mean several months\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
