This outpost was burned down many years ago during a goblin invasion…

I finally managed to finish the bloodbowl pitch I started in last April! I was about done the BB field in May but I got sidetracked by a million other things… The fact our group hasn’t decided on starting a BB league yet certainly helps delaying this project completion… Now it’s done. I will be trying to coerce my buddies into starting a BB league (or at least play a few stand-alone games!).

Time for a few pictures:

Another new project: building a portable Bloodbowl pitch. I’m using Hirst Arts blocks, extruded foam, and acrylic paint so far.

I don’t have much time these days to work on my hobby. Here’s a small project I did in-between working full-time and working on a paper. This treasure pile is going to be handy as an objective when I start my next Mordheim Campaign! It was fun and fast to make too! I got this idea from a tutorial posted on Reaper Miniatures forum by Rastl Deeperdown. I used HA blocks, hot glue, acrylic paint, glitter & gems, other bits, varnish. Now I’m rich (if only it was that easy!)…

I use plaster as a basic material to build many terrain pieces. I cast my plaster in RTV silicone molds. I own many molds of the Castlemolds serie (Hirst Arts Fantasy Architecture). I also made many custom mold using different RTV silicones. I found from my trials that the best ones for my uses are manufactured by GE Silicones. Here’s a shot of one batch of castings from this afternoon. I’m still working on my 15 mm WWII buidlings. I also cast a few more of my custom Settlers of Catan 3D tiles. I have enough tiles ready for a basic game but I will need more for an advanced board setup! (More is always good!).
