A lot of of scenery

A good weekend!

Scenery

Not too much news... I am occupied...

Lets talk about gaming tables

Everybody love to play on a nice gaming table and it's very funny to make some. Everyone can have a very good idea, nice skills, etc. But the final problem is the same. The storage. 

When you don't have a wargaming room, you could have a logistic problem very soon. I have two tables in my garage, another one in my workshop... and I need a new gaming table for Alkemy, I am lucky because with the new blitz rules, tables are smaller only 60 x 60 cm (24x24"). But I have another problem, I have no money this month. So lets talk about my solution two have two tables for less than 10 euros.

First I found a wood plate for painters, it's a really cheap solution for poor artists, just a piece of wood of 3mm with a white surface, it's 5 euros for a 24x24" plate. I bought two bags of sand for 4 euros. Deal is complete ! After that I took some pebbles, my white glue and a large brush.

My idea is to prepare a table on each surface with a flat design. Why ? Because I want to change the sceneries for each scenarios, when you prepared a very nice table full of details, resin, etc, it's engraved into stone forever, and I want to use it for other games too. 

So... cheap, quick and fast. Two sides, light and easy to put behind a piece of furniture. Period.

After this very boring speech, some pictures now and some explanations. I applied the white glue pure because this one is already a bit diluted, I applied some pebbles on the surface, I applied the sand on it. Ok very easy. After that I applied a very diluted white glue (with water) and I sprinkled the table of sand. Period. Next steep is the other side before the paint, the drybrush, pigments and matt varnish and enjoyment.

With my club, the lanciers de la Garonne we organize a demonstration on Sunday, September 21st, in the city of Carbon Blanc (Gironde / France), hall Favol at 2.30. We are going to play the rule The Great War with more than 200 figurines on a big table and a with a small exhibition with historical documents or replica.

Let's talk about wargaming room

Ok, you know that wargaming room is a dream for every wargamer and I begin to dream about veeeeery seriously. In few month I will leave France and move to the States(yes i know it's a shame) and after a transition, I will be able to have a new house and obviously I wanna have a wargaming room. In my mind this room need workshops, one for paint, conversions, etc. Another one for airbrush and a last one for scenery. The room need also a big table with drawers, many, many cabinets, my hi-fi, my records, posters, my antics, minis and minis and minis and friends.

Here is some pictures of some very lucky persons and their wargaming room with a link you can follow to see more pictures.

Ok guys , let's talk about that if you want in comments.
