Making Mine Scenery Part XV

By

This week so far I have messed around a little bit more with my batch of Horizon Creation 3D bits. I liked my first attempt at fencing so I made a bunch more to start with.

A bunch of Horizon Creations 3D bits built into fencing.
The two long sections use full ~4.25"x2" hex sheets from Horizon Creations 3D, framed in with a bunch of their rivet bars. I also made a section that looked broken and repaired and a section ideal for my 4-way intersection columns.


This narrow fence support was painted exactly the same way as described in Making Mine Scenery XIV except that I chose not to go as heavy on the rust.

My newish camera phone has a better camera yet I have a harder time getting good pictures.

This is a top view of the new 4-way intersection. As you can see I made this one with some caution stripes for more visual interest.


This shot features another Horizon Creation 3D bit: one of the fences from their fence pack. I feel like the caution strip base is too pristine and needs to be dirtied up a bit, but I'll get to that later.


Before I wrap up I want to talk about where I am going with my current board plan. What you are looking at here are two horizontal straights, a verticle straight, a T section, two 4-way intersections, and my freight elevator. I want to be able to create flowing layouts that aren't too large that allow for a little bit of maneuvering, so at least one more 4-way intersection and either another T section or an L section should be up next to have my "basics" covered and give me greater flexibility. As always, there will be more to come!

Thanks for reading and make sure to check out Horizon Creations 3D and use the "BROKENCONTRACT" discount code if you decide to pick up anything. :)

    LOL....so technically speaking, in a modular construction what construes the difference between a horizontal and a verticle? straight. ;-)

      Haha. I went with that terminology because I honestly didn't know how to convey it. North-South vs East-West? I don't know. Haha. Can we get a consultation from an architect or something to clarify how I should express this idea? Hahaha. :D

    Nick, I just tried to order some of those Horizon Creations hex sheets and rivet bars........one pack of each ($21 is a bit pricey), but an extra $21 shipping to Europe!!!..........nice idea but not nice enough to pay that excess.

November 5: New Breaker Miniature Range Kickstarter!

By xNickBaranx
In less than a week we will be running our next Kickstarter. This one is to fund the manufacture and expansion of our Breaker range of miniatures. If you've been following Breaker Press for a while, you've probably seen images of some of these sculpts appear over the last year and a half (yes, the gears grind slowly at Breaker Press). It is finally time to send them to the caster, but we need your help. Female Breaker Gen-Mod. We are starting things off with the two Gen-Mods that we've been sitting on for quite some time. These will be the basis for the Kickstarter campaign. The campaign is going to start small - we just need to raise enough money to cast and ship these two models. Male Breaker Gen-Mod. If the campaign goes well, the Stretch Goals will be determined by you, the community. The first Survey went up and the first Stretch Goal will be for the female Breaker Crew Leader. Female Breaker Crew Leader. Hopefully, we can work our way through all...

I Wanna Be Your Dog: Canines in DCC

By xNickBaranx
Last year I started a Dungeon Crawl Classics group with my friends. For those that don't know, Dungeon Crawl Classics is meant to be D&D like it is 1975, and touts the catch phrase, "Deadliest Game Alive". During Character Creation one of the characters in our 0-level funnel came up as a herder with a herding dog. The dog, Fetch, has outlived their herder master, and became a beloved Character in a very lethal game. Not surprisingly, the players pushed for Fetch to have the ability to advance. Here is the first draft of the rules if you are interested in my take on Canine Player Characters in DCC. I Wanna Be Your Dog Canines in Dungeon Crawl Classics by Nick Baran Art by Nerdgore You’re running a 0-Level Funnel for a group of players who are all dog people. One of the Characters comes up as a Herder with a Herding Dog, and before you know it, the dog is the most cherished member of the party. Treasure be damned, as long as the dog survives!
