Homewargamer: elokuuta 2014
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Torstai 28. elokuuta 2014. I pretty much freehanded the whole project over the couple of days and since my tools were robust, so was the outcome. Anyways, the first house that I built was the town hall. In the sub zero centigrade temperatures in the barn the PVA glue wouldn't dry properly, so I took the houses inside. The clock tower has a place for one small base and otherwise I designed the rooms big enough to house one to two medium bases. Some of the unfinished houses in the floor game. Last year we ...

Homewargamer: Oldies goldies 2 - Stonebridge
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014/08/oldies-goldies-2-stonebridge.html
Maanantai 25. elokuuta 2014. Oldies goldies 2 - Stonebridge. Last year we decided to play a Market Garden game, so there had to be bridges for it. I made couple of simple wooden bridges out of hobby sticks and matchsticks, but the stonebridge wasn't as straight forward as those "daycare-centre-glue-the-sticks-together" -bridges. I started by cutting the pieces out of styrofoam. I measured the width of the bridge to be wide enough for Tigers. The centre piece in plain styrofoam. All the three pieces.

Homewargamer: Fire Direction Centre - Objective marker
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014/11/fire-direction-centre-objective-marker.html
Torstai 27. marraskuuta 2014. Fire Direction Centre - Objective marker. Yeah, I know, it's been a while since I last wrote in here. But the thing is I am studying at the moment and the last two months have been really hectic with all the exams and written assignments and presentations and what-have-yous. But hey, I'm back. And have the Fire Direction Centre as a second in command. Or something. Anyway, let's get to business and see how I made this. We don't have a map, see.". Glue added for sand. Then I ...

Homewargamer: We wants a SHRUBBERY! - Making bocage
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014/09/we-wants-shrubbery-making-bocage.html
Keskiviikko 3. syyskuuta 2014. We wants a SHRUBBERY! I think has came across, that I like to play Normandy battles, so there has to be bocage for those games. I started the project last year, have played almost every homegame with them, and today I finished. I think. I bought two kinds of wood profile, triangle and half-round, for about 6 metres of 20 feet. Yeah, it was a lot, and theres still half of them in the first and second stage. But the half of it I finished. After that I sprayed them brown.

Homewargamer: Shape of things to come
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014/09/shape-of-things-to-come.html
Tiistai 16. syyskuuta 2014. Shape of things to come. Things I've done, vol. 1: I bought three huge boxes to house my terrain. However, on the side I have been making US Fire Direction Centre - scratch built - that I'm going play as a normal staff team. Or in case of some huge Total War game, my artillery battery's second in command. Yeah, I have that sort of perverse idea. Things I've done, vol. 2: Sturmovik - work in progress. Things I've done, vol. 3: Played a Bulge game with a convertee.

Homewargamer: Making trenches
http://homewargamer.blogspot.com/2014/08/making-trenches.html
Lauantai 23. elokuuta 2014. I started this blog mainly, because so many hobbyists asked me about my trenches. So here goes. I didn't take pictures of the earilest stages of the making - that's something I will revisit when I get around making intersections and shorter trench pieces - but can still describe how I did them. I started by sawing the bases for the trenches out of hard board (recycled old table pieces) and made them 10 cm (4' ) wide, which is almost 7 cm (2 3/4' ) wider than the medium base...
