Porky, this is your fault! The other day I put up a tutorial on making a ruined apartment building, which reminded Porky of an old Necromunda demonstration building. He found a picture here, and my deranged mind began to work its mad magic. First, I am not making a ruin with that many storeys, although this plan calls for 3" storeys, whereas the ones in the picture look to be about 2" with pretty thick floors. Anyway, I went up to the attic and peered at things. I knew I would have to get something pretty sturdy. I had bought some wood the other week, and was considering using that when I had a Eureka! moment. In short, I had found the perfect thing: an old table. It's sturdy, so I don't need to worry about it falling apart. It has no legs, but instead some bits of chipboard which go to the floor in an X-shape.
I have a vague conception of how the building will look, but for once I am going to make some proper plans before plunging ahead. This is not because I am getting sensible, but because I don't have enough hot glue to put the floors in place, and will not acquire any until Tuesday afternoon. So until then there will be lots of scribbling and preparation. If anyone has any handy suggestions, by all means send them in! For the time being I present a few shots for you of this planned insanity. The playing space here will be pretty sizeable. My back of the envelope calculation suggests it will be a little over six square feet, if one includes the base. Though I freely admit it won't be much use for tanks (except the base). Take a gander at the sheer size of this bonkers idea. This is going to be a hell of a project, so don't expect it to be finished any time soon.
Until next time, folks, happy 'gaming!
