[Dreadball]¶
Gaming Board¶

The board is done! I painted the last white lines on the main boards, then painted the DB logos and the arrows on the entry hexes in bright green like they are glowing. The reason for the DB logo in the board center and on the side counter facing each other instead of facing in the same direction, is that each player sees one correctly (otherwise I would need to admit that I botched the assembly...). Placing that piece on the other side does not work, as the black/yellow line does not align correctly on the other side.

After taking the photos, the tiles received a coat of glass varnsish, and then one of matt varnish.

[Modern]¶
Private Military Contractors¶

I finished the bases with pebbles and sand, added new weapons where I cut the orignial ones away and filled all the holes and cracks that resulted from my head and weapon exchanges.

No changes to these two.

Here, two M4 where replaced with a G36C and a SA80

The two Hasslefree models got some texture on their backs representing the molle system. The strips need to be finer...

The left model with the radio is the model the boonie was cast from. I replaced this head with a base cap, to remove the Bundeswehr-look. The model on the right had the base cap replaced with a recast boonie.

Two more hat changes and the model on the left had rolled up sleeves added.

Only the top right model was converted, exchaning the base cap with a boonie and replacing another M4 with a SA80. The model does not fit perfectly, the eyes are to far forward, besides the option instead of behind.

More Vehicles¶

I finished building the vehicles, next up is rinsing and undercoating.

Nothing more added to the ambulance, just miliput to cover any gaps.

On the Rover I finished the work on the prolonging of the passenger cabin.

On the Ranger I added more details, like the retractable support beams, the rest for the turntable ladder behind the cabin and the cut-off from the basket as ... some interesting feature.

Free Trader Crew¶

I cleaned the flash from the models and based them on washers.

To get cargo into their ship, the crew uses a mini mule with trailer. The driver supplied with it wears NAC gear, which does not match the look for a free trader.

Time for some more instant mold. I choose a model (that it is the pilot was coincidence, and not related at all to the pilot of a well-known tv series...) and covered its head with the mold.

Here the cast with the head cut off.

From the original driver I cut off the head and removed the shoulder plates. I then glued the new head in place and with miliput added a hood, like on the model I cast the head from.

Here is the complete mule with driver and cargo. The driver will not be glued into place to allow me to use the vehicle manned and in action, as well as unmanned scenery.

Armed Civilians¶

The space pirates were cleaned and based. Where possible I bent the arms of duplicate models to change the pose of the second one slightly, one model got a V cut into his arm for the replacement which I then covered with miliput (the model in the front, the model directly behind is the original model).

More Vehicles¶

The models were treated first with a Vallejo basecoat from the airbrursh.

The ground vehicles got a black spray coat from underneath

The MedServ VTOL was sprayed light grey all around, then white from above as a first highlight.

The ConServ vehicles were sprayed in flat orange, then highlighted with a bright orange sprayed from above.

TecServ was sprayed grey on the lower half, then blue on the upper half.

The models were basecoated together with the Space Pirates (photographed with them). The mule was also basecoated, then sprayed black from below, then sprayed yellow all around.
