This past weekend, during the big East Coast Blizzard, I worked on building the actual dockside for the city of Frostgrave. I used pink foam insulation sheeting for the core of the wharf, and the cork tiles,I've been using for my Frostgrave buildings to do the facings. For the top surface I used some cobblestone roads I got at Walmart over the holidays in their Christmas village section.
I made three 1' sections, and a fourth small ramp piece. After everything was assembled, I primed it all black. After that, I drybrushed all the stonework with three levels of gray, and the wood with browns, and then applied snow and icicles.

Very cool looking. That would be a treat to play on. If you are looking for any docks or piers Lemark makes some in their christmas village range. I'd imagine with only a bit of work you could make them fit right in with that. |

Thank you for the kind remarks! Pictors- thanks for the tip on the Lemax docks. I have some which I use for non-winter games. In this case, I seem to imagine Frostgrave as a more stony place, so really wasn't thinking in terms of wood. But you're right, if I wish to expand, they would be perfect. Sadly, I do not think I can make The Muster next weekend. Cap'n- hmm….Cold Wars… I'll have to think. A lot depends on when I get up there, and whether I'll have time for a pick up game while I'm there. If I was to get up midday Friday, would you be free for a game then? Condotta- I'm glad you like the 1:1 Mage!! |

I really like how the large ship came out. You've got me keeping an eye out for old ship models. |
