More Foamcore Buildings

 Today saw the completion of 2 more of the commission buildings I've been making for a local store.

 


Both buildings were based on the same template. a 2 story building with usable interiors.

 


As with all the builds I've done, I always add something new or try a different technique.

 


This time around it was adding stairs between the floors & built in such a way that a typical base could be inserted between the stair slats.

 


The upper floor needed to match where the stairs led too, & I used some bits of wood to set the building upper floor once aligned. The can be seen on the image below.

 


For the 2nd of the buildings I went with stonework lower floor walls & a different wall colour.

 


And the side view of the building.

 


These will be off to their new home once I make arrangements for the transfer. This leaves me with 1 remaining building to do for this consignment, but what to make?

Up next are the splash markers I've completed for my Pirates game I am running next weekend. Stay tuned!

Pirate Skeletons & Zombies

Getting some last minute pieces painted up for running my Pirates game at RPG-a-thon  this year after being approached by the organizer. It's been a good year for us at the Edmonton Wargames Group, as this is the second event we were asked to host games at this year.

I was even able to get the organizer to play in the game at Mayday, so he knows what the players are in for!

But enough blather, onto the miniatures!

 


I got these figures from my friend Will, when he sold me a pile of Pirates figures he had before heading off on some worldly adventures. Not sure where the stringy stuff came from, maybe a spider who got involved while the matte spray was drying. Will need to get rid of that!

 


I have quite a few others that have pistols, but wanted just ones with melee weapons for this game. As they've been lying in wait for those seeking the treasure, their weapons have gotten quite rusty & corroded with time.

I also got a few Pirate Zombies, so figured I would get some of them painted up also. 

 


Looking at their faces, they could also be used as Deep One Hybrids!

Nothing fancy in getting these painted up, as time is short. Thanks for visiting.
