Sniping On The New Double-sided Gaming Mat…

Painting has stopped for a little while whilst the guys gather for a little sniper on sniper action. Sounds pretty compelling, I reckon they could make a movie about that….

Mike and Sean have laid down the new Urban Mat, covering part of it up as they don’t need the full 6’x4′ for Sniper Wars. Adding some of the buildings Evan quickly spray painted up and there you go, an urban table ready for some sniper action, or even a bigger Flames Of War game.

Check out the photos for some close-ups of the new mat. Lunchroom lighting isn’t the best but we wanted to give you a first look at the mat anyway.

Friday, Friday, Gotta Get Down On Friday

It is Friday morning here in NZ and as usual there are a few odd jobs that need to be taken care of before we get fully in to the swing of the launch. The guys have been busy though…

  • Mike continues to live the StuG life, making good progress. He may have been heard mentioning that assembly lining 10 of them was taking a toll on his sanity,
  • Phil is chipping away at his T-34 turrets,
  • Andrew has gotten distracted by something shiny,
  • Chris has started his pin washing (in between trying to cough up a lung),
  • Victor is experimenting some some seriously high contrast highlighting, and
  • Evan quickly spray can painted some buildings for our Sniper game.

Almost time for lunch…

Lunch Comes But Once A Day…

The morning has flown by. No surprises when you have a group of friends getting stuck in to some serious hobby time together.

  • Mike has the last of his StuGs assembled and is starting to get the base colour on,
  • Sean is making rapid progress on his Soviet Sniper team,
  • Wayne, who only has one tank to finish for his army is wondering what he will be working on tomorrow,
  • Andrew has his Fortnite inspired sniper hide coming along nicely,
  • Victor has finished his build and is wondering what infantry he would need to paint to flesh out his TANKS force to turn it into a full on Iron Cross force,
  • Morgan has graduated from building digital assembly guides on boxes to building her first actual plastic tank, and
  • Chris continues to keep adding yellow decals to Lee tanks.

Auckland Studio Getting Started

The lunch room table isn’t quite big enough for the whole team but we will make it work.

  • Sean and Andrew are working on Snipers (more on this later),
  • Evan is building some pre-production resin copies of our new plastic buildings,
  • Mike has more StuGs to build,
  • Victor already has his DAK force but wants some grey Germans for TANKS, and
  • I’ve become distracted by the KV list on Flames Of War Digital…
