About the Project

In this project I will be building boards that are interesting and unique from The Walking Dead and using them in another project as I document my solo play through of Mantic Games The Walking Dead All Out War. I may take inspiration from the comics or the TV show, i'm not fussed for timelines etc and i'll be making my own story for Rick along the way. Enjoy this project is the building and prep project, go view my other one for the storyline (battle reports)

Lets talk farming and corn

I’m now looking to move onto the next board.

It’s going to be Hershel’s farm. There are at least two games to play on it but they do have different layouts so I might need to get creative to make it as multifunctional as possible.

So why the plastic plant I hear you ask. I want to use this as an opportunity to try and make something that currently cannot be bought. Cornfields.

I have been trying to find some of the model railway stuff made by JTT but it seems they aren’t in stock anywhere and simply are too expensive. They do look great though.

 

 

thankfully however someone has already run up against this problem and solved it with ikea house plants.

I would throw all the accolades at the author on this this one, I’ll give it a go and see how it works out, I expect the paint will peel off after a time but still, it’ll safe me a lot of money in exchange for time.

Improving the threat tracker

I’ve played 5 games for this comic series so far and I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the threat tracker.

It doesn’t sit flat and the indictor can be easily moved by a minor accidental knock.

To solve this I’m going to use 2x 5mm by 1mm magnets, superglue and some clippers.

Improving the threat tracker
cut the male parts of the join off and score in some groves for the superglue to bind tocut the male parts of the join off and score in some groves for the superglue to bind to
