My October Project. have tons of rebased Horrorclix, and Blue Moon horror figs, need a game for them. Decided to change it up. Due to the size and scope, I am first doing a "Haunted Cantina/Taqueria" BIG, 28" x 24", two stories plus a very large basement/dungeon, evil scientist lab, vampire tombs, etc. It will be adobe over brick, so it can be used for Old West, or even modern zombie games as well. (Modern features like tvs and electric appliances will be removeable, with 19th century stuff to fill in) Could be part of a large hacienda or Mexican town, as well. Its SWO much easier to do adobe mexican style, than a huge, clapboard and stone house. I will do that, but not now
What do you think?

Sure,Smokey, I made adobe out of foam core, covered with DAP. I cut out some pieces of model RR card brick,and glued them on first,then plastered around them,for some irregular exposed look. And you can print floors,and even shutters and doors,if you want to go fast and cheap. Don't forget La Abuela Bruja,you'll need one of those! |

Sounds great, track your progress. I am doing a large buildings/table for a game called Uber Soldat where the U.S. are going into old large German medieval type castle with buildings to root out a "Mad doktor" and his evil experiments so your post intrigued me. Doing operation rooms, experiment rooms and such :) Good luck and have fun with it! |

Warlord, my solution was to do a Adobe Spanish/Mexican style set up, because I love the style and can use it for lots of my games, AND because doing a huge, stone/brick house, OR a wooden clapboard one, is a massive undertaking, and having it 3 stories high, with a dungeon system, is REALLY hard to make look nic e when its all together (playability vs construction)adobe works, and its set in Florida, where we have big, old, adobe style mansions all over the riverfront in St Lucie Village. I will make a wood mansion like the Addams Family, but not this time. :)
As for the dungeon, thinking of using a 4 inch blue foam base, and carve the damn stonework and corridersa and rooms?

Well, I've got to say yours look better than mine. I need to go back to work on them. My figures look at least as good as the ones in the pic,though! |
