Having ordered a load of hexon terrain from kallistra , I decided to try and make some river tiles.
I checked my local diy store and found some expanded polystyrene underlay which was half as thick as the depth of a hexon tile.
and this is how they turned out after a dozen tries to find the right colour and tonnes of scenic water and future floor polish...
2 mm troops for scale

Kallistra Space dreadnought 3000 ships
Its been a while since Ive made any real progress on my own projects. Although Ive been recollecting 15mm sci fi for a couple of years, it was at the last Warfare show that I picked up a couple of 1/3000 scale space fleets from the Kallistra stand. I think I paid less £15 per fleet and that was for eight ships and metal stands , which I thought was a very reasonable price. I picked up the Quellaris fleet and the Altaran fleet and got a free set of the rules thrown in! Thank you :)
So, having not painted any tiny spaceship since the mid -eighties ( I have half a dozen spaceships bought from Esdevium games whilst I was still at school) I took a fairly conservative approach to painting this new batch.
Behold! The fleet of the Quellarians!
As you can see, I didn't stop with painting a few ships... oh no..
Some months before , without knowing why, I bought a pack of various sized polystyrene balls from a craft retailer. Once I'd purchased my ships I then realised what the balls were for ! Planets! Set to with the poly cement to make an asteroid or two, followed by a lovely 6 x 4 ft space matt from A & B games across the road and I'm all set for interstellar chaos.
Shortly, thereafter, followed the Altaran fleet. who will save us from the Altaran onslaught? Aaaaaah!

A couple of hotwheels 'Star wars' and some plastic fighters and bases from E4M I think, plus another session making 22 planets of various sizes and colours ( thanks to my daughter for the nail varnish for the swirly enamelling ) and I am ready to rock and roll. Mission accomplished :)

1/300 - 6mm Middle Eastern Fort
Far away in the mists of time I found three Middle Eastern buildings which looked ideal for 1/300 / 6mm gaming. A few years ago I got round to grafting them onto polystyrene hill pieces and there they they languished long enough to gather a few millimetres of dust. With a new found enthusiasm to tidy up and make sense of the chaos in the loft, I've finally finished one of the buildings which I guess I can use for Iberia, Sicily, North Africa and anywhere else with Islamic influence.
At present, in this scale, I have modern Iraqi, Syrian and Jordanian forces, or Napoleonic Ottomans that might fit period-wise. If anyone out there knows where this building is really from - I'd love to hear :)

New GRASP Rules - Play anything :)
I've uploaded a new set of rules I've written that should enable anything to be played against anything.
If you have time and inclination to try them I would love to hear any feedback.
