I've been quite busy of late working on the EB Chintoy sets of Cops and Robbers for a new series of games set in the Prohibition period in America - specifically in our mythical Pima County New Mexico - set around 1920s and 1930s. This was for a game at one of our Glory Daze meetings at my place but a stinking cold meant it was called off and had to be rescheduled. As well as the figures I have made some terrain, specifically a moonshiner's still, a diner, a scrapyard and a gas station garage. I will post some photos (they were going to ne an AAR on the game). Still very much WIP are a motel and a Chinese quarter for Salt Flats City, the metropolis where some of the action is set.
The Chintoy sets are excellent as usual, full of character. I painted the first set straight from the box, but have started on some conversions from a couple more boxes.
The buildings etc are made from Timpo and Britians building bits. I had some and picked up a few more from Steve Weston as job lots of pieces. This meant some imaginative use of what I had but fitted perfectly the slapdash buildings depicted in photos. Any old thing seemed to have been used to make and then patch the structures!
Onto the buildings went some enamel signs to set the tone and period. These came from various places, some free off the internet and others 1/35th scale I bought and enlarged on a scanner then printed onto sticky back labels and stuck on card.
