Have you seen my blog post for the Kali Temple from "Gunga Din"; chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/07/its-...

It's Gold Bugler!

The furniture I found on Thingiverse. The art and rugs are images I snagged from a Google search. On the 4P free downloads page there are links to some of the furniture designers I used. Most all is scaled for 28mm to doll house scale, so resizing is necessary and in cases modifications are needed.

Sorry, no, it's 15mm. That's the scale I do most of my gaming at. (aside from ships and planes)

Hey all, I posted another post about Tantrapur at my blog. This one details some of the new buildings and shows the layout of the town as it appeared in the movie "Gunga Din". You can visit this post at: chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/09/tant... I hope you enjoy it.

Tantrapur Again!

Hey gang! For my birthday (which was yesterday) I decided to release another building in the Tantrapur (Gunga Din) series. Get it while it's hot (at least the bottom may be warm straight off the build plate!). Thank you for your support of 4P Press and Models!

Hi all, I've made a new post to my blog, highlighting the buildings I have been creating. These represent the town of Tantrapur, featured in the 1939 film "Gunga Din". chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/08/tant... These are available to subscribers to the 4P webpage at www.4ppress.com

Thanks, I'll take a look at Honors of War. I'm still on Koenigs Krieg 2nd edition.

Michael, what rules do you play for Seven Years War? The figures look great!

The interiors are a result of retirement and an overactive imagination.

This group of photos are of two of the buildings for the village of Tantrapur, the village where Ballentine, McChesney, and Cutter first meet the Thugee cult in the 1939 classic, "Gunga Din". The larger building is the telegraph office and the smaller I'm using as a residence for the British officer

I thought that I would post a few pictures of the Tlingit warriors (from the US/Canadian Pacific Northwest coast). These appear as they would in the late 1700's when contact with Russian fur hunters first took place. These represent the upper class warriors.

Hi Folks! Here's my entry for Mr. Jane's birthday. I played a lovely game of Contested Seas, in which I kicked my own butt. chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/08/hoch...

Hi all! I've posted to my blog photos and a brief writeup of the model Kali's Temple from the movie Gunga Din that I built. I hope you will take a look and, perhaps, drop some scenario ideas for it in the comments. Thanks! chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/07/its-...

About a year ago, I started working on a model of the Kali Temple from "Gunga Din". Well I finally got a printer big enough to handle it. ...

It has been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I'd drop a few photos on my latest grandiose project. This is the Legation Quarter of Peking for the Boxer Rebellion. The layout is based on a map by an American Engineer drawn right after the siege. The buildings are cardstock. Enjoy!

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything, but I've finally finished my work on a major project and can get back to the game table. So, here is a link to the blog post for a game I played yesterday: chrisminaturewargaming.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-ba... I hope you enjoy it. Thanks

For rigid, I'd go with MDF and probably a spray adhesive, as sprays are less likely to warp the board.

Chris Ferree @cdferree.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Sounds like the equivalent to Dollar Tree in the U.S. Are the tiles rigid or flexible and do you want the finished product rigid or flexible?

I am not trying to be demeaning to you.

I am truly sorry I have offended you. I hope that you can find some joy in your life and I also hope you can find peace. But remember Hate is hate and will not be productive.

I don't either, but not all people in the groups you are referring to think you are a groomer. There are people out there with open minds that are willing to accept you as you are that might otherwise fit into those groups.

Chris Ferree @cdferree.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Please be careful that you are not falling into the same trap as the "conservatives", "progressives", and "cis" people. When you start lumping people into big groups, you dehumanize all of them and take away the chance of finding common ground with those you might have some with. Just sayin'

Hi all, I just wanted to take a little time and show off the newest models available from 4P Models on Wargame Vault. We have the Lloyd 40.08 and the Oeffag CII. We don't know if the Lloyd ever got off the ground, but the Oeffag performed workman's service on the Russian and Italian fronts. Thanks!

Now, everything is organized and visible, my paint jobs are better protected, and stuff is easy to find. Maybe because I'm on the far side of half a century old, I can find enjoyment in cutting up waste boxes.

Chris Ferree @cdferree.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Recently, an insurance company has been running an add that suggests breaking down cardboard is a chore and not fun. Well, I spent today breaking down some boxes and repurposing them to store my WW1 model airplanes and I'll tell you that it was a good time. I started with this:
