Building Revisited

 I originally planned to make this building in February 2024 for the LAF Build Something contest. 

I had it all designed & the walls cut out.

Then i thought it would be a goo idea to put the impact driver bit through the forefinger of my left hand & of course it went septic & I couldn't use it for about 6 weeks, which stopped any hobby related modeling completely.

So nearly 2 years later I thought that I'd better get off my arse & finish it 😂

I finished cutting out all the windows & doors, then got all the walls glued together. 

The Doors, Windows, Head & Cills were all added next, then followed by the Yard floor & some paving round the front.

Then built the roof & Chimney, adding barge boards & Fascia's

Then using a mix of powder filler & PVA rendered the building

I wasn't entirely happy with the yard floor so I cut It off & made it the same as the Garage floor.

I needed to a Lamp to go above the doors so this building could be used as Police Station, I had already glued magnets into the walls to allow it to be removed.

I had been given a 3d printed Lamp already & needed to make a gallows bracket for it sit on.

I cut a piece of metal from a coffee tin, drilled a couple of holes in it & glued in a bent piece of paperclip. I then bent more paperclip to look like a scroll work infill

The building was all painted in various shades of Beige Brown & the roof a slate colour, with the doors & windows in Black

I will hopefully be using this with the Tenement Building & Quay in the upcoming Pulp Alley UK Games Day

Pulp Nastiez Big Boss

 Thought that I might as well paint up the Robo-Adolf from Copplestone Castings, A quick simple Job of Panzer Grey body & black rubber arms, with a very pallid Complexion

Pulp Nastiez

 Just done some more Evil Weird World War 2 Nastiez, for Pulp Gaming. 

3 Officers of The Black Sun: Projekt Nekromant

I got a couple of figures from Lucid Eye & used the Heinrich Gross from K47, that I've had since the first edition! I’m glad I don't have to pay the new hiked up prices!!

The two figures from Lucid Eye have had hand swaps from the North Star Plastic Frostgrave Wizards, the open hands & the wizards staff (maybe should've used a fancy spear for the Spear of Destiny)

I'm Hoping to use these in the upcoming Pulp Alley Uk Games Day in February 2026, the theme being Modern Magic (1920 to now) 

Quay For Pulp games

 I've recently made some raised quay pieces & wooden jetties for my scenery & I finally get some where to moor the boat. I can use these for a fictitious Channel Island. 

The raised quay bits were made from the  same plastic fascia board that I used for the Adobe Walls.

 

I dis a test piece from a off cut, I just scored some stone blocks with a sculpting tool. I was happy how it turned out & then made some 12 inch long ones.

They were then painted in a reasonable stone colour & done.

The Jetties are made from wooden coffee stirrers & the posts from wooden dowels, the type that you get with flat pack furniture. Then the usual old wood paint mix chucked on.

A few pictures below with figures on

And some black & white ones

Bandits & Villagers for Pulp Alley's 'The Bounty Scenario'

 I'm taking two tables to the next Pulp Alley UK Games Day, as well as the re-skinned the Hollow, the other is The Bounty, where the Leagues are searching for a group of bandits (Which are the Major Plot Point)

I've just used whatever desert terrain I have, to represent what I think that an Old West  Mexican village would look like.

For the Bandits I Got Some Figures from the Gringo 40's Mexican Revolution range. These are nice miniatures but some of the rifles look a bit small on some of the figures, so I swapped them for other guns or a rope.

For the four minor plot points I've used some 1st Corps Miniatures Villager Figures, these are The Woman, The Beggar & The Kid. 

For The Stranger Plot point I decided it would be good to paint & use the Wargames Illustrated Giants in Miniature figure of  Alan Quatermain, as he looked suitably Western to me & he really needed painting.

The Hollow - Old West Re-skin

Instead of the Old woman for The Hollow scenario, that I will be taking to the Old West Pulp Alley Games day, I've decided to use a Native American From The Silver Bayonet Range.

He is from the Trading Company Unit in the Canada Supplement.

Also He needed a Tepee to Live in & as I didn't have one anymore I had to make one!

For this I used some bots of wire & another clean washed baby wipe. 

I first made a pattern & cut out the baby wipe Glued the wire together & stuck on the outer layer.

I didn't do a very good job of getting it central though! It was then covered in a few layers of PVA glue to harden the exterior. 

I’ve painted it in various shades of beige & off white & the poles in Foundry Spearshaft triad. 

If I get chance or the inclination, I might put some patterns on it.

Next it is the Major plot point, rather than looking for a grave the players have to find the magic tools to stop a Wendigo

The Hollow Re-Skin - Burial Scaffold

 

I loosely based the Burial Scaffold on the image above for the Hollow Re-Skin For The Old West Pulp Alley Games Day.
For this, I just used some plastic rod that I had & broke it up into various lengths, this was then scored with a razor saw to get a wood effect & glued it all together. 

I added some lengths of Cotton to look like it was lashed together & a skull & feathers to make to make them a bit more interesting.

They were painted with the usual old wood recipe that I used on the Ramshackle Church

The Hollow Re-Skin - Wrapped Dead Body!

 For one reason or another, I Didn't actually manage to make it to the lats Pulp Alley games day, so I thought that I would still take along the Hollow Scenario slightly tweaked for the Old West Pulp Alley Games Day.

So no street lamps this time, the lights will be patches of light shinning through the clouds.

I also decided that the graveyard could be a Native American Burial ground. For this I needed some Burial Scaffolds & a wrapped body.

I thought that the body would be the hardest & this would be best to make first (if it didn't work I could scrap the whole Idea!)

I whittled a bit of balsa to look like a body, next I covered this with a clean washed baby wipe covered it in PVA 7 glued it to the balsa dolly, then i used some thin string to look like it was tied up

After this had dried & I was happy with it I got my pack of Blue Stuff out, I hadn't used this yet as I had bought it & not got round to using it? 

Anyway I melted it in hot water, as per the instructions (I had also made a little jig from Lego, so that i could keep it all square) & pushed in the wrapped body sculpt & waited for it to cool off.

When this was ready I removed the sculpt & mixed up some Brown Stuff & Pushed it in the mold.

I did this 3 times so that i had 3 bodies, I must say I was quite impressed with the Blue Stuff molding stuff, it worked a treat. Whether it would be any good for more complex sculpts, I wouldn't like to say............

Old West Gunfighter League Finished

 Well I got the Old West League finished, ready for the next Pulp Alley UK Games Day 

The bases are painted a sand colour, could maybe use some tufts, but I will have to see what I've got kicking about.

The Horses & Riders are magnatised, this will allow the horses to wander, as per the Pulp Alley Rules
