Feb Update or No not another Martian Project !

I said I wasn't going to start any new projects this year, just finish those outstanding but......................

I've got the terrain bug again!

After some damage it was time for a refurb of the canal board plus adding a frame to try to stave off warping. This time a much darker and deeper colour for the clay/mud banks. After another coat it may get a dry brush of a lighter colour?

Martian outpost? From Amera Plastics. I've got to add a door to the rear on the upper level and maybe some shutters. Not a fort but a defendable "way station" for travellers on route through the steppes or deserts.

 

A ruined city idea? Maybe the city of Bordobaar? This may mean more games boards or free standing terrain?

 

Will the Martian madness ever stop? ; -)

Gumme a vile dirty and dangerous trade which makes vast sums on money for the Belgian Crown. Harvested by hand the Martian slaves on the plantations not only risk death from their masters whips but the deadly Chee'peech!
