Floedebolle´s new gaming board

I have a similar problem with the Shanty Town's lower level. I'm leaving the second tenement loose to allow access. Since my games will probably be solo, access isn't critical...mostly.

At one point yesterday i started to wonder how playable the whole board will become. Of course i always check with based minis first if they´ll be able to pass through openings, or will be able to stand in a doorway( ogres excluded), but with all this lovely small backyard alleys, i think without a pair of softend pincers there is no way of fighting inside those alleys.
But hey, lets find out at the end!

Ya, I think you should build it and find out how it works because it will LOOK amazing.   

Like Alan said, If you only glue in place the first floor, and keep the rest removable, you can still reach in and get to your minis... otherwise it will be a definite pain to get to them (I can speak from experience here... I've made multiple large buildings which don't come apart correctly, and we tend to avoid those while playing... which is a shame!

Thanks for your comments guys, much appriciated!
I will consider the idea of leaving some of the upper levels removeable during the processs of building, sounds good, thanks for that.

This is really good input. I believe we would try to use those alleys nevertheless, , but maybe would cause some damage on miniatures and / or on scenery by trying to move with those pincers.

I love the progress.

Thanks for your comments, much appriciated , as always!
Yesterday, between some work at the atelier, i had time enough to finish those applecores i did a while ago. Made a instant mold of ´em , and that came out: 2 red, two green!
Enjoy!

Those look EXCELLENT...GREAT little detailing pieces. They painted up in a SPLENDID, realistic manner. VERY WELL DONE!    


I'm going to have to try this. Maybe I should start with something larger...pumpkins or water melons come to mind.   

Love 'em! So much character...

Those apples are INSANE. You are crazy Sir... And I love it.

Thanks guys, good to know you like ´em.
Well, that being said, i wondered what peaple might say if i offer each one of you to make a double of this instantmold for only the mat costs plus shipping to whereever you live?
Just drop me a line, PM.

APPLECORES FOR EVERYONE!  

The applecores are the best    

If I had PayPal I'd take you up on your offer...c'est la vie, eh?!   

Solution on its way monsineur deafnala!

apple cores? Are you crazy?!



I love them of course.

Of course i am!  

Update time!
Felt like Terrainbuiding this night, so, took out the WIP house for my gamingboard and continued.
Thats what came out;













( sorry for the bad pics, left my camera at work)

That is a true labor of love. Buildings like that with the interior visible is time consuming, and the time you put in is paying off.

Thanks theomar,
you´re right, just today i thought about the day i will finish all the 4 boards, but think this day will first come in about 2 years, IF i am not lazy about it.
Lucky me, 2 of the 4 sections are not that hard, one being mostly a cemetery themed tile, and the second "easy" one is a badly ruined coaching inn that is almost consuming all the space on that tile.
OH, forgot about the colour,  , ok one more year!

It is a WONDERFULLY IMAGINATIVE creation AND a FINE source of inspiration. GREAT WORK!   

Nice to watch this stuff. Great woodwork and composition   

Thanks al, thanks fat rat!
I will soon finish the roof, and some more texture on the inside walls, then basecoating.
Oh, not to forget about some details here and there,
stay tuned!

That building looks great. I love the attention to the insides as well, makes me want to play with that building on board.

Beautiful ruins!    

MORE!
