Those are really nice. How do you do the paper debris on the bases?

Zargon18 Jun 2016 8:19 a.m. PST

LOL. Orderance Officer need his a*s kicked. Nicely done.

Paper debris is just laserprinted scaled down real newspapers, cut, crumpled and soaked in coffee and glued down. I've got a whole bag of them now thanks to a friend with a colour lasercopier.

The scaling down part seems to never work well for me – any secret to keep the pictures intact?

Gunbird18 Jun 2016 10:42 a.m. PST

I do it in Microsoft Word, just copy the pic, paste it, and scale it down, then copy-paste an etnire row of them, and repeat.

Redroom – You could also try playing around with Grinning Skull Studio's 15mm Apocalypse Newspapers & Magazines. Depending on your scale you might have to up or downscale them, but it's a starting point at least. link

reminds me of my time down the Falklands, I was there just after the war as an air photographer. we had a tailfin off a 500lb Argentine bomb that we used to drop in the peat, pour a kettle of water on so it was steaming like it had just been dropped and then took photos of all and sundry next to the unexploded bomb that had just missed them lol ;-)

"The boy spoke two words, the first a short guttural verb, the second 'you.'

'People lose teeth talking like that.' Spade's voice was still amiable though his face had become wooden. 'If you want to hang around you'll be polite.'" (Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon, 1929)

@Redroom

Corel Paintshop pro allows you to resize images while not loosing detail by multiplying the dots per inch/cm when resizing. If you want to reduce an image to 1/4 its original size you would multiply the dots per inch by 4 so that something that started at 180 dots per inch would now be 720 dots per inch when resized. I have done this when making flags for my 6mm ACW figures.

great looking bombs.
