a pursuit of fruitless endeavors and endless refinements

Expanding Terrain Options

When the weather was a bit warmer, I played around with an idea I came across using expanding foam.  Andrew Pieper posted a how-to on making terrain hills from expanding foam insulation spray and it looked easy enough so I decided to give it a go.

Dropzone Commander Sappers Complete

Not much done for the early week but I did wrap up my Sappers by sealing and basing them, cold weather be damned.

A Dream To Be Realized

A big spoiler was revealed on Facebook this morning for Test of Honour and I had to share.  A new set will be coming up based on none other than Kurosawa’s amazing classic film, Seven Samurai. Here was the teaser:

Test Of Honour Week: Scatter Terrain And Friend Of Sword-Master

The week is winding down but I have a few final things that were completed just under the wire. The first is one of my first attempts at scatter terrain.  I don’t do a lot of this as I usually buy a scenery piece and paint it up.  This time I wanted to have some bamboo-based terrain and that isn’t easy to outright buy so I had to make my own.

Test Of Honour Week: Bell Of The Ball

I received my new replacement bell for my Test of Honour Temple Bell scenery piece and so I quickly set about fixing it up.

It came with a faux bronzing and while that may be just fine in a color setting, it won’t cut it in my monochrome theme.

Test Of Honour Week: Temple Bell

As I continue through the Test of Honour week, I turn my attention to terrain by building up Sarissa Precision’s Temple Bell.  I’ve always liked this model and have had it sitting in shrink for a while now but was glad to have the chance to open it up.

Test Of Honour Week: Sword-Master

After blitzing through my Ninjas last week for Test of Honour, I dug out the rest of my kits and decided to push through to see if I can wrap this game up. I made great progress this weekend, starting with the Sword-Master figure for my Dojo Assault set.

Ninja Progression: A Painting Process In Black & White

Having recovered from my fuzzy primer incident, I went back to my Test of Honour Ninja figures to finish them up.  I decided to take pictures of the progress as I went along, mainly to see how things were coming out and what was actually effective for my standard table-top quality style.  I started first with the ninja hero.

Cold Hearted Orb Rules The Night

I picked up this great little toy the other day and had a little fun with it setting up a few Test of Honour pics.

More Dojo Assault Testing

With my Dojo complete for Test of Honour, I was able to grab a friend to play a quick run-through of my Dojo Assault scenario.
