Workbench: On the flip side

And on the other side of manic...

When optioned to field terrain boards for a local tourney, I could of took in the more than adequate Warhammer Fantasy boards and decorated them with bocage. Or, I could obsess and take on a project to build some purpose built ones.

Which one did I choose? I chose the obvious one. I chose to refine my art, try some new techniques, and charge into a new set of boards using what I learned from my less than spectacular Battletech board.

Some progress on the 4 test mules:

They're completely modular and interchangeable for numerous permutations. I'll work out the rest of the gaping tonight and maybe even have them painted and flocked. We'll see.

Random trivia: Did you know that Gilligan's Island was modeled after the 7 deadly sins? As confirmed by the show's creator (through various acts of collaboration during production), the professor was pride, Mary Ann envy, Ginger lust, Mr. Howell greed, Mrs. Howell sloth, and the Skipper is Anger/Gluttony.
Who keeps them on the island? Satan himself and the last of the crew; Gilligan.
Think about it.
The corollary didn't seem completely intentional in early preproduction however, but once the comparison was made, they finalized the cast and ran with it as sort of an in joke.
