MB Games isn't in the list of game companies for projects. Has no one painted up their monopoly pieces yet?

This project will likely be just a stream of WIP shots with little to no text.  That may change though.  Gonna try and take pics at every step with every paint pot used.  I am going for high end tabletop batch painted.  I may focus more on individuals, but a swarm of identical greenskin trash are not getting display level paint jobs.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sculpts.  I feared my love would be unjustified nostalgia, but they’re actually quite detailed and quite nice, for 30ish year old single piece board game plastics.  Heck, I’m sure I’ve bought worse in recent years.

I got this box cheap off Ebay.  The seller said the corner of the box was damaged, but it had barely been played.  He thought everything was there, but had not checked.  I’ve had a look and the card count matches, there’s one extra dice.  The gargoyle need his whip gluing back on.  Two goblins, the barbarian and elf were all missing their weapons.  Otherwise everything appears present and as new.  Nice!

The terrain pieces below are being PVA glued to bottle tops and jar lids as I don’t think Blu tak will hold them in place while also not accidentally masking parts I want to paint.

The replacement weapons are coming from left over Kingdom Death armour kit sprues.

That’s the skeletons done.  Now on to the next entry, and back to the mummies.

The wheels do turn slowly, and occasionally flare in the clouds…
