More of the Bridge. It took so long to post because it has been like the land of Mordor here for weeks! Lighting has been awful in the wargame room.

Anyway posted the bridge with paint on it! I still want some signs maybe in the new year.

Painted in a cement style with green and drybrush metal super structure. On off ramps are made of Lego turned upside down and covered in sticky labels before paint is applied. 

I added lego to ends of underneath to raise them to right height to meet the bridge ends. Also cable tidies were put under the bridge. They are made from plastic and I can't find them anymore. You can see some on the sides of the bridge like metal bosses.

Piccies.

I also got 2 more adventure 2000 vehicles from ebay. Slightly bent axles but not that noticeable.

Painted the Eye of Ra! On my finger tip.

 Somehow while I was painting some Battlemechs today. I managed to paint the Eye of Ra on my right middle finger? 

I have no idea how I did it!

I am left handed by the way.😁

I started another Bridge!

Why oh why did I start another bridge?

I saw a big Notice Board in The Works Publisher. It was approx 2feet or 60cm in width and about 15" deep. Having used one before for my smaller scratch build I thought, "It's only £3.50, I'll do another one larger!"

Then I remembered I had at least 6 pieces of girder sides left over from my Airfix Pontoon bridge kits and decided to give it a raised superstructure.

Using other bits of Hornby fencing, and pylons all of which I got from the NEC toyfair last year I reinforced the upper superstructure. To connect the Ponoon bridge sections to the wood I raided my LEGO spares box. Had to order another 2 vital bits though which gives the joint a fixing point and enforcement.

This is only the basic build at the moment. Painting and on/off ramps I have yet to decide what to do.

Anyway leftovers are great!

Malcybogaten Strikes Back

Hello and Welcome to my Miniatures and Terrain Blog.

I have been Gaming for 35 years and have played many a different Wargame, Boardgame and RPG.

My main interest is collecting and painting miniatures. Victorian Sci-Fi, Pulp and Battletech are my main interests. Though Battletech has taken a backseat for a few years now.

I also build my own terrain from Wooden Puzzles, Jenga Blocks and Household Items.

Look and read on. I like to share my ideas.

New Gasland Cars Useable in most cases.

Been a while mainly because of lighting issues in the game room.
I have done loads and here I get to upload a batch of Hotwheels and other manufacturers to clear a bit of backlog!

Here a car electronics wiring kit, came in very handy for the gun barrels on the wings and all the small plastic housings they were meant to fit inside of. In the middle of the roof larger boxes from the same wiring kit make the missile launcher. On the back of the car 4 mines represented by 2 pc screws and 2 press studs are just glued on to be jettisoned in the path of some poor beggar!

 The car behind my (Station Wagon or Estate car as we in the UK call them) the Flanethrower Vehicle! An old useful gun barrelfrom lord knows where? With 2 small transistors for fuel barrels and a bit of curly wire make it quite effective.

 A VW Beetle MLRS again raided from the car wiring box. A very useful component box I still have quite a few bits left of this and £1.99 was all it cost me!

 Car in the back has a cupola mounted recoiless rifle mounted on it's side. Libby's lounge for the meshing so useful for many uses!

 Ann almost A-Team looking Van needs some work still but overall Black seems to be working for it!

 And the most heavily armed Rolls Royce I could make. All models provided by my Brother when my Nephew stopped playing with toy cars and started on the real ones!

Still got a bag full left. Though I'm at a bit of a loss what to do with 2 Citroen 2CV's.

Base style works in progress and walls finished.

Here are some works in progress and concrete walls I have been playing with.


Walls made from 3 different sized Jenga block sets. Base structures made from various bits and pieces I have recently been given or purchased from a toyfair.

These rather useful looking structures came from the packaging for a range of Anime style looking toys called Ready2Robot. I got 1 to see what the robot was like. Cutesy really weapons may be useful somewhere down the line but the toys are to cute for me. The stuff they comein however look like giant cargo crates so I got 6 of them to make outworld scifi buildings from! you can see them below and I have added bits and bobs to them from vehicles and the spares box for more detail. Spryed them all with primer and painted them grey.

 Another set of cardboard rolls and sprue pipes added to it.

 Bits of kinder surprise toy holder also added.

 2 more refinery bits of undetermined nature. Still in processing painting wise.

 The shapes of the sectional (They come apart originally so you can get the Robot parts out of each section) Ready2Robot packaging. I added some bits to these and started painting they may evolve further.

 The old Airfix Pontoon bridge girderworks I had left over after I built my enormously long bridge out of 2 of the kits. Not on Earth sure where I am going here?

 Random bits of refinery. People throw stuff at me to see what I can do. I use them as inspiration strikes.

 I added these toy pipes to this older building which is still evolving. The pipes came from The Works. It was a kids toy construction game. I have loads of them from one pack. Haven't seen the game in a while now.

 My newer Jenga concrete walls. Three packs of different sized blocks variously called, Topple Tower, Tumbling Tower and Wooden Tumbling Tower. I just saw how many I could make from the best combination of sizes I had. I added little lights to some for warning lights. They came from a diecast police car that had been wrecked a while ago.

I have enough of the walls to cross my table. I will just use my Mesh gateway as an entrance.

Hope you like these so far.
