Cloudship gutting and construction
Its been a very long time since I've been on the blog and I apear to of missed loads but this month I'm hoping to be able to find the time to redress this alittle.
So straight to the gutting of the Star Wars Tatooine Skiff.First unscrew and gut.
Then cut out the new decks for the cabin sections.
Then I worked on the main centre deck by removing part of the engine housing to put in a boiler and machine parts and added the main planking.Other modelers have extended the cabin sections at this point but for this model I want as much central deck accessible to miniatures and weapons.

What is a city without a wall?
Not many posts but I've been working away on VSF stuff and with the new Space 1889 books coming out this year I see interest growing.
The cheap version of gaming-glue&cork floor tiles.

Game 2 Part 04
The Martian infantry formations smash the ‘Thin Red Line’ with minimum of casualties and the Brits withdraw.
In my version of the Space 1889 rules, the Oenotrian shield guns are multi barrelled and at close range are fatal against unarmoured troops. A design they developed from their own technology after seeing human multi guns.
Though expensive they are cheaper than human rifles and most importantly (apart from the useful close quarters punch) they are not reliant on humans for supply.
These results bare out over half a dozen test games which we are happy with.It gives back some balance to the Martian forces against mass manufactured rifles, machine guns and more effective artillery from the armies of the ‘Great Powers’.

The British Imperial forces arrive and quickly form up but the senior officers are concerned at the high number of heavy infantry.
