A bit of a WIP trial layout.

As the title says, I am just laying out a lot of unpainted and unfinished stuff just to get an idea of what needs doing before the big game in November. There will be 4 separate tables but they are interconnected by sea (in my imagination). Table 4 remains a closely guarded secret and is likely to remain so until the game begins. The other tables are Government House and it's environs, the chain of small islands and the big table has the dockyard a sort of floating town and the route to a sandy cove which leads to the Government House table. Clear as mud, eh?


The kitchen with 3 of the tables in view, on the left table Government House, then the docks on the big table and the island chain in the distance by the back door.



The island chain. I intend to inter-connect the foam islands with rope bridges.

My maths teacher, Ol Snotty Grot always said I'd be no good at tables, but then I took up war gaming and proved him wrong. Just like you with your set up here. Well done Snappy, let the games begin.

Great work Martin.

Dave Stone said...

This is really starting to look epic Martin, with my vision filling in the pieces you've described. Look forward to seeing it all finished and ready for play

Thanks, got a lot of work to do now, painting all that stuff!

I think it will look good, thanks Dave. Rather a lot of painting to do before November though!

Ivor Evans said...

Wow! That is going to be something Martin! Really like where you're going with the island chain 😀

Martin Thornton said...

Thanks, Ivor. Just got to make the rope bridges next!

Looking good, lots still to do but plenty of time to do it. Should be epic.

You are right, now I've seen how much to do I'm starting to panic!
