A fun way to keep track of potions! I like tiny bottles - I think I will try this.

The oil refinery build continues with some more scatter terrain - 50 gallon drums and jersey barriers.

The refinery project continues with a building and some storage tanks.

Aaand, the refinery is complete! The players will see it in a better environment than my messy craft table in my messy garage, of course. |

I've been using BMC-style "stackers" for a while but there was something missing: corners! Finally got around to making some this week.

N-i-i-i-c-e! I game with 54mm Army Men. We've built some buildings out of MDF, with window and door cut-outs. Need to paint them, though. We have not built a lot of terrain for our Army Men games yet, as we mostly cobble stuff together for them -- storage for 54mm sized terrain is a challenge...
Your work is very inspiring, to say the least! Love it! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

I seem to end up making or modifying an awful lot of trees. Recently tried turning some cheap ones from Wish into something more or less resembling flowering cherry trees.

Those turned out nicely. You might try to get a little more pink on the edges of the branches, but not too much.

The foam arrow slit add-on pieces ended up more fragile than I was comfortable with, so I managed to TinkerCad my way through making some 3d printable ones to use. The STL is available at the blog link above if anybody wants it.

Wow! Nice! I recently discovered his channel, as well. I think he is quite good at what he does, and I really enjoy his, "Until then, I'll be in the Archives," line. I hope to continue to see great things come out of his channel, in the future. His videos are informative, entertaining, and professional. His crafting ideas are fantastic, as well. It is really nice to see others taking his ideas and running with them!
His modular castle concepts are very playable, and easier to store than my heavy-duty cardstock castles, which are fixed pieces. For RPG use, they are ideal. Looking forward to seeing some reports (with photo's!) of them from your games. Cheers!

In the meantime I'm working on the gate piece and some "corner-ized" versions of the main blocks similar to the corner stackers mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread. |

In previous builds I've used cheap plastic under-gravel aquarium filters as metal walkways and commented that they'd also work as tiles for modern computer room interiors, starship decks, etc. I decided to try to add some versatility to them by making some swappable inserts that snap in underneath them. It didn't work out very well visually without having to compromise the filter pieces themselves to make the inserts more visible, but was still an interesting exercise and an idea I'll keep in mind for future projects.

I see what you did with the last 2 pics, I have several similar mounting brackets from my work that would fit over piping and conduit.... Killer!!

Bouncing between projects and not posting much but still crafting. I recently decided to build a display-oriented diorama to sit atop a bookshelf where I keep a lot of larger minis that are harder to find storage solutions for.

...aaand, still gradually improving with my mini painting skills:
The Rock and Troll band is tentatively named "Petty Thom and the Heart-eaters" but I'm open to better suggestions.

Great paint job! Although I'd hate to have that gory ankylosaurus around...

While I was waiting for a tool to arrive for the more detailed diorama, I worked on a simpler project to feed the crafting urge. Based on an older Wyloch video and I didn't entirely screw it up

I'll probably try to remake them differently at some point but they'll do for now.
Cheers!
