Small Warehouse finished

 It’s taken some time to get around to painting the Warehouse, but it’s finally done. 

I've the same colour palette as with the other rendered buildings. 

The Doors Still open & close, Just! 😂

For the mossy roof i used a mixture of AK Interactive mossy deposits & Vallejo Slimey Grime Dark & normal paint just dabbed on

Scratch built 28mm Scale Small Warehouse/Workshop

 I decided I needed another building, this time a small warehouse or workshop for the docks, with sliding front doors & a wrinkly tin roof. 

I started the same way as any other building with foamboard walls & a card roof

I doubled up the roof though with a mounting board inner that fits between the walls & a thinner outer that just sits on top of the walls.

This was so that when the wrinkly tin roof panels are added they sit reasonably flush with the roof

The base is a sheet of plasticard with milliput rolled out and stamped with bricks. The brown bricks are standard grey/yellow milliput with a bit of brown stuff added, i really like the colour & wished i done the same with the forecourt

The building was the 'Rendered' inside & out with a mix of powder filler & PVA to get the right consistency, then rubbed smoothish with fine grit sandpaper (same as the last building!)

The Wrinkly tin is made from beer cans & I used my fancy new Green Stuff World Corrugator tool  (rather than the old block of wood with nails glued on it that i used to use!)

I will carry on with the build in my next post

Lead Adventure Forum Build Something Contest Building Revisited

 I originally planned to make this building in February 2024 for the LAF Build Something contest. 

I had it all designed & the walls cut out.

Then i thought it would be a goo idea to put the impact driver bit through the forefinger of my left hand & of course it went septic & I couldn't use it for about 6 weeks, which stopped any hobby related modeling completely.

So nearly 2 years later I thought that I'd better get off my arse & finish it 😂

I finished cutting out all the windows & doors, then got all the walls glued together. 

The Doors, Windows, Head & Cills were all added next, then followed by the Yard floor & some paving round the front.

Then built the roof & Chimney, adding barge boards & Fascia's

Then using a mix of powder filler & PVA rendered the building

I wasn't entirely happy with the yard floor so I cut It off & made it the same as the Garage floor.

I needed to a Lamp to go above the doors so this building could be used as Police Station, I had already glued magnets into the walls to allow it to be removed.

I had been given a 3d printed Lamp already & needed to make a gallows bracket for it sit on.

I cut a piece of metal from a coffee tin, drilled a couple of holes in it & glued in a bent piece of paperclip. I then bent more paperclip to look like a scroll work infill

The building was all painted in various shades of Beige Brown & the roof a slate colour, with the doors & windows in Black

I will hopefully be using this with the Tenement Building & Quay in the upcoming Pulp Alley UK Games Day

Quay For Pulp games

 I've recently made some raised quay pieces & wooden jetties for my scenery & I finally get some where to moor the boat. I can use these for a fictitious Channel Island. 

The raised quay bits were made from the  same plastic fascia board that I used for the Adobe Walls.

 

I dis a test piece from a off cut, I just scored some stone blocks with a sculpting tool. I was happy how it turned out & then made some 12 inch long ones.

They were then painted in a reasonable stone colour & done.

The Jetties are made from wooden coffee stirrers & the posts from wooden dowels, the type that you get with flat pack furniture. Then the usual old wood paint mix chucked on.

A few pictures below with figures on

And some black & white ones

The Hollow - Old West Re-skin

Instead of the Old woman for The Hollow scenario, that I will be taking to the Old West Pulp Alley Games day, I've decided to use a Native American From The Silver Bayonet Range.

He is from the Trading Company Unit in the Canada Supplement.

Also He needed a Tepee to Live in & as I didn't have one anymore I had to make one!

For this I used some bots of wire & another clean washed baby wipe. 

I first made a pattern & cut out the baby wipe Glued the wire together & stuck on the outer layer.

I didn't do a very good job of getting it central though! It was then covered in a few layers of PVA glue to harden the exterior. 

I’ve painted it in various shades of beige & off white & the poles in Foundry Spearshaft triad. 

If I get chance or the inclination, I might put some patterns on it.

Next it is the Major plot point, rather than looking for a grave the players have to find the magic tools to stop a Wendigo

The Hollow Re-Skin - Wrapped Dead Body!

 For one reason or another, I Didn't actually manage to make it to the lats Pulp Alley games day, so I thought that I would still take along the Hollow Scenario slightly tweaked for the Old West Pulp Alley Games Day.

So no street lamps this time, the lights will be patches of light shinning through the clouds.

I also decided that the graveyard could be a Native American Burial ground. For this I needed some Burial Scaffolds & a wrapped body.

I thought that the body would be the hardest & this would be best to make first (if it didn't work I could scrap the whole Idea!)

I whittled a bit of balsa to look like a body, next I covered this with a clean washed baby wipe covered it in PVA 7 glued it to the balsa dolly, then i used some thin string to look like it was tied up

After this had dried & I was happy with it I got my pack of Blue Stuff out, I hadn't used this yet as I had bought it & not got round to using it? 

Anyway I melted it in hot water, as per the instructions (I had also made a little jig from Lego, so that i could keep it all square) & pushed in the wrapped body sculpt & waited for it to cool off.

When this was ready I removed the sculpt & mixed up some Brown Stuff & Pushed it in the mold.

I did this 3 times so that i had 3 bodies, I must say I was quite impressed with the Blue Stuff molding stuff, it worked a treat. Whether it would be any good for more complex sculpts, I wouldn't like to say............
