Hello All,
Today we held the third terrain day for the 2016 season. We had a pretty good turnout and a fine warm day. These two combined into a fantastic amount of progress. We were able to get all of what we finished last time base coated and we made huge progress on the houses that this year are being taken a little farther than last time by having wooden exteriors (made from wooden coffee sticks)
We made a great start on the Age of Sigmar Flotilla. Keel laying no less than 12 Warships. In proper maritime fashion we celebrated at lunch with pizza.
We even managed to get a little airbrushing in at the end.
Thanks everyone!

Prep for today's build
Prototypes- I like test beds and prototypes - (unlike a certain company I know of...)
I feel like testing an idea is far more intelligent than just bumbling into a situation with no plan.
So I sat down and built a prototype of each house design we will be using this year.
 |
| The thatched roof will be made from an old wash cloth. |
 |
| The small cottage needed to be re-glued |
 |
| The first row of boards |
 |
| The concept window. A square of paper towel was used as a drape |
 |
| Pins were used to keep the sticks from warping while the glue dried |
 |
| The corners will get a separate covering |
 |
| Making the Door |
 |
| I found it was easier to let the sticks dry then cut them to fit |
The Build

| New Shelves Added to site (Thanks Blake and Eric!) |
