Can you guess the game?

Something new.....

Can you guess what board game this is?

About three months ago and following the visit to Worcester museum to see the Terry Pratchett exhibit of artwork by Paul Kidby my grandsons, Finley and Charlie were showing an interest in the books by Terry Pratchett and in particular the board game THUD.

Mal suggested that a set of resin printed pieces could be sources and he would produce them on condition that I finish and paint the pieces as well as making two gaming boards, one for Finley and Charlie and one for him.

Here are the finished and painted gaming pieces (two sets - 2 stone pillars, 16 Trolls and 64 Dwarves) as well as the hand drawn boards.

I added metallic helmets to the Dwarves wooden clubs and glowing eyes to the Trolls and ground foam decoration to the stone pillars (foam that was produced with Finley from ground up sponge).

Finished gaming board number one.

and finished gaming board number two with additional decoration.

Finally, the two gaming boards complete with playing pieces next to one another. I was trying for a pub brawl set or well used gaming board effect rather than the pristine look of the shop bought, boxed game. Hence the stains! The gaming boards were drawn on to material backed off-white vinyl with alcohol based permanent marker pens.

They were great fun to produce but did take some time. But they were eventually finished and in time for Christmas. thank you Mal for the resin pieces.
