Now anybody who has taken on a massive project like this knows how daunting it can be, so I've been looking for a way to help them, then they posted an article about adding interiors, and I found a way to help. James had made some bunk beds for the barracks, and Michael mentioned he would think about getting some mattresses for them, now finding a mattress that would fit perfectly could be a tall order, so I emailed Michael and said what about ones where the bed was made, just got out of, and still in, to help show how it was a bit rushed when the attack happened.
I did a quick Google search and found that the mattresses at the time were very thin and sometimes were just a folded blanket, I went with a mattress as I thought this would have the greatest appeal as a product when I release them. I also wanted to get the rough blanket feel that you often see.
So here's what I created
Once I've sorted the one's Michael needs I'll put them on the website, that's it for this post, so until next time have fun !
Cheers Dave
They look just the job, Dave, and have the added bonus of being usable in so many genres.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan, yes massively generic so could be used for multiple time periods and genres as you say
DeleteKind of you to give the lads a dig out Dave & you've done a fine job I really like the one with somebody in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Frank, like to help where and when I can, and they've taken on such a large project. like putting people in scenery when I can, should see the guy trapped in our man eating plant ! LOL
DeleteGood work Dave and I love how you stepped up to help with this project!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dai, like to help when and where I can
DeleteThey look brilliant Dave, can't wait to see them on the beds! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, glad you like them, let me know the numbers of each type you need
DeleteJust doing my sums Dave and I am thinking 10 x made, 6 x unmade and 2 x sleeping. Can't wait to see them in the flesh, so to speak. I too love the title, 'the castle that the internet has built', that has to stick! ;)
DeleteNo problem Michael, will get them to you as fast as I can, agree on the title sticking !
DeleteThese are fabulous Dave, the fellow fast asleep is genius! Thank you so very much indeed. Michael will do an ace job of painting these up.
ReplyDeleteI really cannot wait for the world to see the 'castle that the internet has built', at Salute.
Thank you James, glad you like them. Love the title the castle the internet built ! Genius
DeleteWell done Dave both for helping out and for the subject, these are a great allround piece, usefull on almost any table. I find this sort of thing actually makes it on to the table much more often than a specific figure.
ReplyDeleteThank you John, it's very rewarding to help out, and as you say generic pieces can often be the most useful
Deletethese look fab mate!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy, if they help that's the main thing
DeleteNice gesture and really useful pieces too!
