Free is best! Troop transporter, found at the local dump, converted from a dumper truck with some bits of plasticard. It was destroyed in the first move of the first game I ever used it in. It made a lovely wreck though.

As I just said, I love using repurposed toys when I can get them. This ex Paw Patrol flier cost me 3 euros in a junk sale. I cut off the carrying handle and remodelled the nose. It's featured as the getaway vehicle for an evil dictator in a couple of Xenos Rampant games already.

My wargame on Thursday night was a total disaster for the Frankish forces. I just couldn't get enough pips on the dice to activate them. As a result, the Vikings managed to lead their wagons of loot off the table with impunity. It looked pretty though.

Just laying out the scenery for tonight's game at Rochefort's Arsenal club. Southern Franks attempting to recapture four wagons of Viking loot. We're playing with four 24 point armies and four totally incompetent gamers.

Thanks very much. I'm still drawing away.

I have just finished the box art for Footsore Miniature's reissue of "Cry Havoc". All new artwork throughout!

Ya think so?

For SF we play Xenos Rampant and Stargrave. For Back of Beyond and Dark Ages we use rules I've written. For Pirates we use Donnybrook. No I'm not jaded.

Some people asked to see the simple SF floorplans I just bashed out for a club game. Black 1 inch grids printed out on tinted paper spray glued to card sheet. Big markings cut out of paper. Stains and skid marks done in water colour.

Demain soir à Paris on a une séance de dédicaces à la librairie Le Nuage Vert, 41 rue Monge. Je vais apporter beaucoup de mes dessins et les festivités commence à 19h30!

Here are the finished technicals in their camo paint scheme. I've dirtied them up a bit, but I've kept them neutral in case I want to use them for other races.

I've also made a couple of goblin technicals. These two cost me a whopping five euros for the trucks and a couple of euros for the plasticard and glue. The guns lift off to allow them to be used as simple transports.

Here's the finished version of the transport in it's snazzy camouflage scheme. I've added a bit of stowage with some Tamiya packs and a roll of barbed wire.

I've just made a soft skin transport for my Xenos Rampant Orks. I found the original model down at the dump and replaced the back using plasticard. Total cost about 2 or 3 euros!

They look fine. Ready to take on these guys!

Here are a couple of the Burrows and Badgers animals.

Thanks very much. You make a lot of inspiring stuff too! We're setting up a big pirate game for next March at Les Sables d'Olonne, about an hour to the north of me, after a chance meeting at a wargames show. Julien is a club member there and he has a big pirate collection. The hall's already booked!

This is my ordinary everyday wargames scenery. Some of the boards have a plywood base because they represent sea or river sections and all have a stripwood frame. These are filled in with polystyrene insulation board textured with a mixture of plaster and wood glue.

I know I've put these picture up before, but it shows the difference a bit of height makes. No cliff and the battery would be much less effective. No rocky islands and the Spanish ships could fire right across the bay.

This is a Chinese temple for Back of Beyond games. I had a black and white photo of the exterior to use for reference and some of my own photos of Chinese temples in Malaysia, which I used to detail the temple front and the courtyard.

I was going with a sort of Japanese WW2 flying boat aesthetic here. I cut the markings out of adhesive film and then stencilled them onto the fuselage. I think we'll need a bigger wargames table now.

Here's a couple of my prints, all signed and numbered, that I've just put in the post to England. You'll find them in my print shop: garychalkfantasyprints.bigcartel.com I prefer The Smuggler's Inn, but The Harbour Entrance is more popular.

That's nice. My boards are quite a bright mix of sand texture and green grass mat. I think a lot of gamers make the mistake of trying to duplcate real colours. I've tried to make mine look a bit like a sunny day seen from an aeroplane.

I've tried washes and I've largely gone back to using a black undercoat and three or four topcoats in sucessively lighter tones. I can't see much difference in the speed of painting between the two methods and this makes it much easier to match real uniform colours.

Here's another table I've been messing about with for a Xenos Rampant game. The two uprights of the "H" will be in separate rooms and the players will only be able to talk to each other using "borrowed" walkie-talkies. Eventually the tables will be joined toether by the central rocky valley.

Our club has a little expo coming up next week in Rochefort, so I've been trying out some wargames tables to see how they'll work on the day. This one's for a Viking raid, where the vikings can enter on foot or by ship using the central river.

I'll put up some of my drawings instead.
