SFX049 & SFX050 - High Line Track

OK, so as seen from the previous update, a lot of the Dropzone board is now finished!  However, given I set up to do reviews of each of the sets (and given the pandemic there's been no games!), I'm gonna keep cycling through the sets.  In-fact, this time it's a double set update ...

The High Line Track curve and straight (RRP £6 each).  The event board set comes with 2 curves, and 1 straight set, which is enough to do a layer of track across 3 of the modular road boards:

One of each set laid out still un-punched

I recommend dry fitting them before gluing ... helps work out what to paint what colour!

1 straight piece (2 of these in a pack)

End on ...

Side on.

Unfortunately I don't have any WIP of the painting stage, but it was done in Halfords Grey& GW Ironbelcher spray ... that's it!

To be honest, I'm not so keen of these pieces, as they feel a bit out of scale compared to some of the other bits ... that said they provide a 2nd level to fight from, adding an interesting z-axis dimension to battle's of Dropzone, at least in theory (as I haven't actually had a chance to try them out yet).  Let's hope that we can fix that in the near future!

Until next time Commanders ...

A Battle for Earth IRL?!?

Woah ... what happened there?!

COVID19 - The Scourge is upon us!

Yeah, so COVID19 massively impacted most things, but especially the blog!  However, things are beginning to look like getting going again, and excitingly there are games of Dropfleet and maybe even Dropzone on the horizon again!

However, things haven't been totally static during lockdown, as hopefully this picture might indicate:

Ooooo ... Hello New York ... progress has been made!

 So yeah, obviously not yet complete - but plenty to update you on now that things are hopefully returning closer (or a close as can be hoped!) to normal.

Until next time Commanders ...
