Brief Notes:

12 October: Book 3 of Malifaux, Twisting Fates, is now out and in gaming stores worldwide. In addition to great new artwork, models, Avatars and the ongoing storyline, it has five standalone stories by yours-truly.

In my last post I mentioned Robert’s terrain. I reckon it is worth a post of its own (at the very least).

What Robert has done is take various materials (greyboard mainly), and make flat-pack Wild West buildings out of them. Early ones had Whitewash City PDF textures on the outside, while with the later ones Robert has been using scored balsa wood and painting it with his airbrush, before adding pigments for weathering.

His innovation (Rabtab™) is to make interlocking plasticard tabs in the inside. Once these buildings are assembled they are very sturdy indeed, but can be quickly packed away into a shoebox.

I will let the pics do the rest of the talking.

    Those look great. I would love to see another post on how he builds the tabs and posts and how exactly they work for joints and storage. Very good idea!

    Hehe I’m blushing here :-)
    Ta much for the kind words.

    I’ll try and bash something together to show how the Rabtabs TM work.
    Not sure if I should be giving away my trade secrets tho.
    :-)
