It's getting close to winter so I wanted to make sure that I have all my priming done, any jobs in the shed were complete and the shed itself was secure. Before it starts to get too cold. Instead it got wet. Very wet. Today has been the only day I could even contemplated it and I've been a bit manic.
Terrain projects tend to get done in the shed. The last thing I want is bits of expanded polystyrene in the house. Especially the bobbly stuff. Thus sems to attract static and then get carried everywhere. For some reason everything I need has ended up in the house.
So I have some hexes to finish. Well a whole box of them that are part complete. Maybe two boxes. And a bit. Not to mention I want to use the laser to cut some more.
I have basically been working on three subsets which are modern/modernish/post apocalyptic in nature. It has taken some fettling. Then there is another project, which will split into two sets.
The stuff I have has mostly been sat around for two years. I've just needed to get it all in one place and get some mojo working. The first is the suburban path. Nice simple smooth lines. It's designed to be in good working order but not perfect. The kind of thing you might find in the burbs or a park.The second is the post apocalyptic version the first path. These are designed to look heavily mashed up. I wanted them to fit in with the existing apocalyptic stuff I've done. Sort of a green corridor with a path in the middle.these have taken quite a bit of work to paint and the bashed details took forever. Then there is a test piece.Lastly is something of a rural path. Big flags, mortar and sets running along the edge. I sort of think they are finished. I am also contemplating changing colour of the flag stones.
I have also finished a lot of other stuff. It's part of a bigger project, so not really finished yet. The general idea is to have a near future paved city. The plan was to call it Paradise City. I may have been listening to Guns and Roses in the 90s. This would then segue into a ruined set. This would be called Paradise City Lost. 🧐 Did you see what I did there? Desert hexes was another plan. This would be another 150 tiles. Which is a mission. So I might might start with a transition set. So grass to desert. Or urban ruin to badlands (or a more fun name for desert). Or both. Enough to turn and edge or a corner into something else for visual interest.
There are still a load of tiles to work with. Then there is another hundred, much deeper tiles I need to cut. These are probably going to end up as a trench system. I don't discount the possibility that they will end up as an alien hive.
As I am now knee deep in hexes, I think I might well stick with with the job in hand. I still have the Atomfallish stuff to do. I may have some more in a couple of weeks. I am also thinking about the Witcherish idea. I have some minis that will work. I also got a few Quar, as more of a test. It's probably hexes.
