Kudos, this has been a fantastic project to follow. I can't wait to see pictures of the final table! |

Thanks! I still have a couple of small pieces to finish including finishing all the tunnels and such. When I get that part finished I will lay all the pieces out on the driveway to show what it looks like. I don't own enough tables to put them all on. I have made 4X4 sheets with metal edges so I can use magnets and some smaller sections to hold the other parts. I'll be able to put all these terrain parts onto the sheets. So any 3 day conventions within a days drive of St Louis want to give me a 30 X 30 foot space for a game? I hope to use this weekend to get it all finished. |

Thanks. I used Minwax Jacobean stain and instead of doing the "dip" I did the cover and wipe method. This was sort of an accident. I had intended to just use the stain a wash but it was far too dark. The cover and wipe method worked pretty well though. I have to finish the interior staining and dry brushing. One thing I don't like about using polystain is it takes a really long time to dry and it just gets everywhere. Ti fix this problem I literally fix it. I spray coat with a matt fixative this also makes the finish more durable. |

Excellent modeling! How many neighbors packed up and moved during this project! (:O)> |

None, if it weren't for the Covid I assume I would have had a few more people stop and ask what I'm up to. I usual have a couple of folks stop by and say hello and ask what I'm up to in the driveway. I've lived in this house for twenty years. Those that were going to move have already bailed. And like this is the strangest thing I've ever done? |

Nice work, tsofian! Looks like it will be one incredible game… Please share reports from con games you run with it! Cheers! |

With the terrain mostly finished and 10 plus months to prep I will be adding new units to both the humans and the bugs. There will be several personality figures for the humans. I think I'll have Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, the newspaper reporter Churchill, Roosevelt and other officers. I'm open to suggestions for other figures. |
