Taking advantage of the long weekend, which has had Wildfire Smoke filling the air the past 2 days of it, provided me a great opportunity to get my terrain & stuff built for The Last Prospector Scenario 6 done.
The scenario, Mine Mayhem requires a 3" tall 3" wide raised area surrounding the centre. I had to dive into the crawlspace to dig out some old sheets & pieces of pink insulation foam.
Cutting pieces which were 1.5" high meant there would be some gluing & the cutting with foam cutter to make the mine wall. I also ensured I marked the underneath with the number & adjoining numbers to make it easy to set up.
Once it was painted, I set it up around the edge of the gaming matt that will be used.
Another thing that was going to be required was an Excavator.... It happened that my wife needed some birthday cards, so we stopped in at a dollar store. While wandering I saw this item. I recalled it was meant to be quite large, so for a couple bucks figured I would take the chance.
Happy with the fact the front scoop extends & raises to allow it to lie flat, it was time to prime it & paint it up to make it less 'toy' like.
The wheels are a bit wobbly on it, so once they were painted, I glued them into place.
So overall quite happy with how it turned out. Now to dig out the other items I will need to run this scenario next Sunday! Thanks for visiting.
