Thank you to Brad, who found me a complete roster of the
100th overseas battalion. On page 7 of
the document my Great grandfather is listed, Private George Watson
Finegan. Very cool, a great start to
find out more.
Back to Flames of
War. Buildings are a big part of the
game, and the new system of rules have a few new additions. I wanted to make some buildings that had
removable levels so I could put platoons inside. Key idea for this as well was to keep it
cheep. I used odd cuts of foam
core. To get a good frame without
slipping while the flue dried I used push pins.
I used a little "L" plastic card to cover the edges and wooden
stir sticks for the trim.
The roof was
made out of a cereal box. The roof tiles
were made out of the same box cut into strips and layered (very tedious, but I
like the result).
To give the foam core
some texture I played around with a few options. I ended on watered down drywall compound
(melted ice cream consistency) with a little bit of sand.
Next time, Paint.
Kevin
