Season of Scenery 2025

                               To start, let's go with the short list of terrain/ vehicles that I have completed. 

Crimson Typhoon

    Another Pacific Rim action figured based for Mech Attack, his head was lost when our cat, Hubbie, started his own version of Mech Attack. I believe I know where it might be, just need to move a lot of stuff around.

Crimson Typhoon with previous year's, Gypsy Danger

Heart of Ghurr scatter terrain added to swamp base.

    Hope you enjoyed my lack of work this year. Okay, I know, I am giving myself a hard time, summer is always super busy with vacation and the like. I also made good progress on a bunch of my terrain, I was just hoping to have the Heart of Ghurr terrain off my desk by now.

The four largest pieces in the HoG box

    And here in no real order, the "in progress" terrain. First up are corridors I was experiment making out of cold coffee containers. Was thinking to use it for Space Hulk


    I picked up some cassettes (like over 100) for this terrain that Iron hands made for his Gundam models. I hope to use these for Battletech if my brother lets me without hexes. 

    

A quick Mordheim building? This was very rough, "eyeballed" the windows and only measured 3 inches for each level. I might use a template for my next building. That concludes my slideshow of terrain I have been experimenting with. Some more successful then others. 


Next on the Hobby Desk!

    As with the years previous, I get into building and painting terrain, so I will probably continue my Season of Scenery into September. Who's going to stop me? Dave? Well... he might...

Skeleton horde and more

       Whelp! I should probably show an update for all the miniatures I have acquired over the summer. In July, we visited Sentry Box, I mean Rachel's half brother, in Strathmore. The night before going to the game store, I went through their catalog of reaper miniatures and sent Rachel and Rosie to pick them out while I looked through their wide array of RPG, tabletop games, etc. Most of their stock is not carried by our local store in Regina. I might grow a second beard looking through their stock, but we were on a time line with supper looming over our heads after a fun day at heritage park.


    From top left they are:
    I also picked up two Ghost of Archipelago supplements, Gods of Fire, which adds tribal warbands, small boat mechanics and notable beasts like a kraken! and Lost Colossus adds a campaign mostly.

    I picked up Battletech Alpha Strike from Dragon's Den in Saskatoon, which adds another 13 mechs to my already expanded collection.


    Though it is the Season of Scenery over one Wargames Terrain Workshop, I haven't been in much of a paint mode for the Heart of Ghurr terrain that I have started. Especially when I had these Conan mummies and skeletons on the hobby desk. I did a quick wet blending for the whole body before picking out small amounts of metal with some silver. Good enough for undead fodder. I did miss one skeleton that was hiding out in the game's box. I'll get around to it after the challenge.

    Time to reveal all the terrain I was building and not finishing with any sort of paint!
