This thread is where I will talk about my terrain and board prjects for TWD AOW, but for now this is just a place holder post for when I am ready to make a full post on what I have planned for the entire project. I plan to post more soon when able.

Not able to do much at the moment due to a frozen shoulder, but I am slowly assembling a couple of TT Combat apartment buildings and planning out layouts for boards for TWD. Things are on the way, but may have to wait a bit until I am on the pc to properly edit the first post properly and get some pics, to do list, etc up and in place

I am hoping to get something done soon, even if it is just getting on the pc and updating the opening post to cover my plans and also get a couple of pics up of what I currently have to either paint, finish assemblings, etc

Looks like I won't make it onto the pc any time soon to fully update and flesh out the opening thread so Iiwill post some of my plans and current activities here instead. PLANNED BOARDS I initially plan 5 boards measureing 2x2' to begin with, these will be the following. Atlanta Camp Farm Prison Interior Woodbury Streets The Atlanta Board is alread underway with me having picked up a couple of Apartment Buildings from TT Combat, the Urban Accessories and 2 puckup trucks from Mantic, as well as, a ATM, trash bins/dumpsters and assorted vending machines from Ainsty Casting. I will be picking up some 1' square tiles from TT Combat and a couple of additional buildings before getting some roads and extra sidewalk pieces to finish it off. I also want more wrecked cars for this board which I will purchase from Ainsty Castings since they have a good range of them. The apartment buildings are still being assembled, 1 is finished with the other needing to have the window frames/sills and roof assembled. The camp is mostly finished before I even begin on it with all of the trees I own. 1 flank of the board will have the beginnings of a forest and if I extend the board in that direction it will also feature a stream (as seen in the comic when Lori and co are doing the laundry). The majority will feature the camp itself populated by tents, a campfire (or 2), cars, a van, 2 pickups and the RV (which I will get from Pats Laser Cuttings). The board may or may not feature custom scatter pieces of trash and other debris, I haven't quite decided yet. The Farm, simple plans here guys! House, Barn, reinforced fences... Yep, that's it! There is no need to add anything else to this board. The fences and buildings will provide cover and be positioned well so no one player gains a advantage over another, easier said than done, but it will be a quick board to assemble since the next one is a doozy! The Prison Interior! Yep, so epic is deserves a line all to itself, heh. The interior will will be a modular board based on what we see in the comic. It will be centered more around the cell block than anything else, but I hope to do it in a way that the 1' tiles can be arranged so that it can be assembled to have large open areas to simulate the Gym, Canteen and Motor Pool. A lot of planning will go into this before I even start mapping out the blueprint properly (you read that right, this board is being designed with a proper blueprint, something I used to do quite often when working as a designer!) and made from foamboard (planning walls to be 3 or 4" tall and then I can add a upper floor if I want to later on). I'd like to find some bunk beds for this board, but not found any yet and I also do not want to make them since that would be boring after making the prison boards themselves lol. Will I be planning anything else for the prison? You bet! Hut that is all staying a super secret right now. I could tell you, but then I'd have to drill into your skulls and pour bleach on those frontal lobes so you couln't tell anyone, heheheh Last, but by no means least we have Woodbury. This will feature a wall in corner of the board (about 80% of the board will be set up as being inside the perimeter wall) that can be switched out for a gate (including 2 semiitrucks to block it) while the rest runs into downtown Sandtown... I mean Woodbury, Sandtown was the places original name, heh. Not much difference between this board and Atlanta except the building will be spaced outt more and the board as a whole will feel open with plenty of little alleyways and things for models to sneak down. The majority of the buildings here will be small stores, but I will have a apartment building just so I can point to it and say "Lilly Caul lives there" when playing the game. I also plan to make the Governor's Apartment too! plans on this to follow at some point. CURRENT ACTIVITIES Presently I am finishing off that apartment buildings assembly and painting up my copy of Black Plague and aTest mini to get started on my new Genestealer Cult. Things are going slow due to my arm being messed up though and my painting isn't quite up to scratch, but I am working out a few quick ways to compensate for the lack of precission my dominant hand has lost with the frozen shoulder. I am getting there though. I cannot work on things as much as I normally can (say 2 or 3 hours every few days instead of 10+ hours a day), but again, I am working on that and as I use my arm more and get started on physio for it, it will mend and get better again. No pics just yet, sorry.

Just a little update (and still no pics! I bought a photo box a while back and it came incomplete, trying to get the company I bought it from to fix that issue but they have been very quite grr) and very little to say on my TWD projects right now, why you ask? It's because I've not really been doing much with them as I wait to recover financially from the TWD KS itself and also plan out more things, draw up some rough layouts, try to make out the prison interiors so they will work properly with the modular theming and so on and so forth. Since the Prison will rwquire the most work, that is the one I am trying to do the most preparation work for.
I did snatch up some foamboard online and had that delivered last week, plus I bought a new pad of blank blueprint paper, something I have not bought for who knows how long. Thankfully I got a good deal on that pad on Ebay, it can be ludicrously expensive to buy and while it was missing about half of the sheets I paid around 10 or 12% of the normal RRP so I am very happy about that with money being a bit tight at the moment.
In the hobby itself I am adapting to how my arm is failing to work properly at the monent and painting some SDE Forgotten King minis and knocked 5 of those out over the last week or so. I am only painting them to a very basic tabletop standard (not what I would normally call tabletop standard either, far more basic than that). My arm and had has lost a lot of precision and keeping things extremely simple is a way to deal with that where painting is concerned and SDE is great for that since I use a anime paint style on those minis (no metallics anywhere!) and basic highlighting and brybrushing are your best friends with that style.
For once, having worked in the actual anime industry pays off in mini painting lol! I use the same approach with my Relic Knights minis, but I take that painting to a higher standard than I would normally for my own minis heheh.
Anyway, 'nuff said for now, more news and updates will be coming, but I need to get more done before I can post pics for it.
