Salute 2011

a good day, if long day, back at around 10.40 last night... three Frother's games and there seemed to be a lot of interest... the mansion in all it's glory, the first game was a bit slow, but the rules were trimmed back and the later games went better...

the mansion game together really well, especially considering how scattered around the UK the contributors are... of course, Akkie's Battlefield game was just one chaps efforts and was outstanding to look at...

the Tron game, oddly only got one pic of that, but it was genius in it's simplicity and won an award...

and Crooked Dice launched 7TV rather spectacularly... table looked great...

even down to the scale map of the table in the villains lair...

CD also had a Who game going...

other stuff included a nice looking VSF Aeronef game and a few ECW games (which considering my recent dabbling was nice to look at)...

Witch Hunter WIP

post-Salute-build, pre-Salute motivation means he now has hair...

after several attempts since January, I quite like that... gave up on windblown and went with long and a bit of chin hair... quite a relief to get the Library out of the way... sigh

the library at Cthluedo Mansion finished

it's finished... well it's done and I'm stepping away from it before I cock it up in a spectacular fashion...

the table is scratch built from foampvc and beads for the legs (not that you can see them very well, but they look bloody great) and the books/cthulhu idol mark out the spaces on the floor so players can climb on/over it as they wish... the wallpaper on the outer walls will tie this room in with all the others (that's the plan - as ever the Frothers build doesn't come together until the day) with some suitable staining... I had planned on putting some Mythosy pictures, but they haven't turned up, so have used the ones the frames came with as most could pass for sinister in some way... removed 1 picture though to help fill the walls up with removed portraits... not 100% sure that has worked very well though... hey ho...

I never want to paint another book in my life... sadly I have some more to do for the table... if I can bring myself to do them... sigh... oddly, the photos make it look much brighter than it is, but the basic room is done, just the corridor side walls to finish and to put in the windows to have a playable room... everything else, including the table is just gravy at this point as I'm quite sick to death of the bloody thing...

and in a desperate attempt to add a bit of Mythos to it all, a Mi-Go brain jar on the shelves:
