First post

Well, it is a first post. I’m not quite sure yet if I actually need a blog but I think this is a perfect way to keep me going on this project, one that is quite dear to me and I really want to see finished….but I’m not in a hurry, and I doubt it will ever be really finished. My mind is creative enough (too creative?) to keep adding new stuff for a long time to come….
Anyway, what is the bunker about?

It’s an idea I had since the last century when I started gaming and noticed how most people used wide open spaces to do battle in. For some reason this didn’t, and still doens’t, work for me. I like to see battles in confined spaces, with debris and what not. And to make it really woth my time and effort, it had to be multi-period and multi-scale. Well, time passed, and an idea became a sketch, and then anotyher, and another, but I quickly realised money, my eternal problem, doens’t grow on trees so I would have to make due with cheaper solutions. So no buying of resin dungeons or moulds to cast my own bricks from plaster. Both are too heavy and fragile anyway IMHO.

So we ended up with a lot of notes, a few sketches and a trip to the lumber mill for loads of 6mm MDF. I started 2007 with boxes full of precut bit, and spent quite a few evenings glueing the bits together till I had about 150 pieces. Then April came, that part of the project was shelved and I started making bits and bobs to fill it when someday I would restart my work on it again.

Time flies they say. How right they are.
