Yesterday’s work on one of four slope boards. I got a base colour and wash down. Still have to give the rocks a drybrush, then will add the base dark green before adding veggies to the works.

I also got a pic of my ship’s crew and troops. In the Traveller adventure the first ship to transport the party will be an open structure corporate ship with a ragtag crew and a dropshhip, but they will likely have their shit scattered, whereupon the military will send a frigate, the Orwell, to investigate. If I’m not mistaken, for every 200 tons of ship there will need to be one crewman, but I could be wrong. There’s also room in the ship’s design for automated crew stations.

In any event, I doubt I will need more crewmen than what I’ve got here on any ship layout or boarding encounter. Some of the figures will be PC’s.

I debated whether to base the gun tractors but decided not to. If they’re not tippy, there’s no need. A friend of mine commented “if you base a vehicle it looks like it’s on a magic carpet.” Hard to argue with that logic.

@unclejimmy we may move to a property on the Winnipeg River, a place remote enough where I can still speak my mind without being thrown under the bus. 10 acres of farmland on the river (which is about 500 yards wide in places like Lac Du Bonnet) is still affordable. It’s a longer commute, but I’ll be working less.
