Martian whimsy

I fancied making something a little more whimsical for Mars... Why not a bandstand and some gardens.

For the bandstand the roof was printed and most of the base and the railings were laser cut. Plastic stonework sheeting was used for the base sides and the steps were cut from xps foam (I think, the brand name is Foamex).

The columns were brass tube with four pieces each. I won't be doing that again as I went through 16 scalpel blades lol. The handrail on the railings was just some half round microstrip.

Painting was fairly simple as I kept most of the parts removable.

The gardens were mainly lasercut (including the topiary hedges which then had growies stuck on them). The plants inside the glasshouses are just various bits and bobs I've had knocking around and the plant pots are available from here

Painting was kept in the same vein as the rest of my Mars terrain and I'll need to do some high walls to surround it. I've also got a colonial style mansion that's in need of some love to go with it.

The Prisoner of Limehouse

Welcome, dear reader, to Limehouse.

A nerfarious den of delinquents and ne'er do wells and the perfect place for Evil in the night...

The local police station had been given instructions to transport a prisoner from Limehouse through to Hackney. No clue as to who the prisoner was or what they were imprisoned for.

Various groups had gotten wind of the transfer and were closing in...

The quiet of the Limehouse dock early in the morning.

The police Mariah begins it's journey.

Bibbly's Bashers, recently back from a much needed furlough have gotten wind of the situation and are moving in for the chance to get some easy money.

Unfortuantely, what appears to be a vampire with his minions has picked up the scent also.

The Bashers start to split up to make sure that they are alone.

But come across some of the vampires minions and a desparate struggle ensues.

The Master himself confronts Rifles McFee and attempts to mesmerise him into submission.

Whimsical Frederick gets jumped on by a minion and does not come off well.

A mystery group, armed to the teeth appears in a side street and start to take their toll on the minions.

The Mariah is oblivious to the interest shown until the Master sends one of his minions to overcome the driver.

The mystery group see off the remaining Bashers but fail to get to the Mariah in time.

Coppers pile out of the back of the Mariah in an attmept to see off the attackers

After a desparate struggle the coppers finally succome to the Master and are killed in the line of duty. The well armed ladies are kept at bay by the minions of the Master.

The Master opens the rear of the Mariah and out steps a well dressed lady of apparent consequence.

Who is this mystery lady that has gone with the Master, seemingly of her own free will...

WWI buildings (picture heavy)

These took a little longer than I wanted but they're done now and I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out.

The floors are removable and there's just some simple card in there ( no furniture or anything).

They are based on variations of the Victorian terraces available in the OSHIRO webshop here

Some Salute photos from the day

Not much to say apart from thank you to all who came by, said hello, bought something or just admired from afar :-)

Plenty of initial photos here and I'll post some game shots later in the week.

In other news, Highgate Miniatures are available now in the OSHIRO webshop (link below) and are proving popular :-)
