Finished my Rail Crew this weekend! Also, found some time to take some photos and do some editing, a good weekend! Next weekend I’ll be in Nanaimo for Kippers’ Melee, a multi-system event in it’s second year. I’ll be playing 5 games of Fantasy for the first time with the “brand new” Lizardman book, and Malifaux with…

Out of curiosity, how did you do the skin?

I mixed a constant and random variety of Dark Flesh, Ushapti Bone together until I got something resembling the shade I wanted. I think I ended with some new colour that was once Elf Flesh, mixed with the Dark Flesh again. Which is why the burly dude’s photos look like they have green streaks on him. I assure you, that in real life he does not have random green streaks.
Unless my eyes actually do suck that bad, in which case….crap.

November 6, 2013 at 4:26 pmHey, love your Rail Crew. I’m starting one myself and I really like how
your bases turned out. What materials did you use for the ties, rails,
and spikes?

I went to my local hobby store (those stores that other people call hobby stores – they don’t typically sell warhammer. :P) and bought some HO scale railway tracks. Used my cutters to snip the ties up. The rails I had to bend until they snapped, but it’s soft metal and snaps easily.
I wanted to lay down track such that I could build a little line when I lined the models up, but the HO scale is wider than 30mm (the smaller Malifaux base size) so I had to cut most of my tracks in half. The N scale would fit, but it’s to small to be realistic.
After that, I used the Vallejo Oxid Paste to fill gaps and give the gravel texture.
May I ask how you found my blog? I’m interested in how my links get spread, but Google Analytics only tells me so much. 🙂
