Not literally a roadblock.

When I started building the machinery (the sexy bit.) of my imagined factory I suppose I had pictured walkways and gantries, maybe also those partitioned office spaces too… something like the inevitable factory shootout scene in every other thriller!? Anyway only some of that scenery is going to be appropriate to game around:

Why just throw this in the recycling, like a normal person?

fuss and nonsense..

I can't even walk past a skip without wanting to climb in and root around...

This idea was for modular walls, with a 2nd story that could be used to run around and dish it out from. Also versatile enough to change around on the table. How I went about doing that was more an excuse for a technical exercise. The cardstock from boardgames is often v. high quality and has regularly-spaced punched holes – often it put me in mind of modern poured concrete brutalist concrete architecture. Maybe now I’ll finally put some to use, rather than chuck it I thought? Again, it’s fun messing about and gluing stuff to other stuff, but….

…I think I’ve reached a point of confusion as to what to do with these walls. I might have burnt out a little. So I’m putting them to one side until my thinking clears…

btw, the “glass” is just some nice thick packaging from some scenery I bought.

I still think partition spaces could be fun – that inevitably means furniture though, meaning work. More pressing is general street clutter and general urban hard landscape and scenery…. I have ideas….
