Final costings are in on the Urethane hills and it's good news all round. The Urethane hills will save you from 10% to 85% of their equivalent resin siblings. New additions for the Members too. Three in this update and a new 0H on its way. Finishing off a UTTT desert board. Hope to have pics and a tutorial next month ;-).
November 19
Finally have enough stock to release the 4H Range. For the uninitiated, 4H refers to the number of hill or slope hexsides on the overlay. This range will allow you to produce complex hills and multiple level terrain boards. Packaging supplies have delayed the release of the bagged Habitation range but I still hope to have it out by Christmas. I'll be doing weekly releases and updates leading up to Cancon in January.

Well the campaign season is over and it's back to the factory to restock. The Newcastle blokes bought their world to MOAB and the mutual idea sharing was intense. I'll be back there in 2010 with an enlarged stand. I've uploaded some pics of Genconoz 09 (gallery). Sorry, no pics from MOAB (too busy to snap).
September 29
You will have to wait until after MOAB to view the GENCON photos. The dust storms have played havoc with my stock production over the past week and I have to do overtime to have enough for the Sydney Convention. I'll be bringing the first 4 in the 4H range of overlays. You will now be able to create tiered terrain tables (for those of you who want to do Cassino and Stone in style). I'll also have a limited range of the retooled Habitations. I've only done H1, H2 and H3 at present but they are more detailed than the originals. I even have a couple of painted ones for sale so get in quick. Drop in to MOAB and say hi. I love to chat.

Gencon was a smash hit. Well run, well attended and well, just a great time. Our boards were the second most photographed items at the show (behind the cosplay contestants). I'll post some pics in the Gallery before I head south for MOAB next week. Thanks to Paul Larter (Bundaberg) and Monty (Gladstone), UTTT membership (and Flames of War interest) has spread as far north as Rockhampton. Any NSW members wanting special orders for delivery at MOAB should get them to me no later than Wednesday morning. See you there.
September 17
Sorry for the update delays (again!). I've been flat out preparing for GENCON (tomorrow) and MOAB (first weekend in October). The miniboard tutorial pics are on the server. Once I finish the text, I'll release it. Should be 7 days. (Stop laughing).
Have fun (I will), stay sane (not possible for the next month).
August 18
Finally have a site where I can do (most of) my own editing. You can now expect fortnightly updates and new stock releases every month starting with another Special Collector Tile: Pt. Letitia and the Miniboard range. The tutorial for the Miniboard will be ready by the end of the month as will Deluxe Miniboard 2 and the first of the O4H range of overlays. Presently retooling my Habitations (window, door and vegetation detail) and hope to be able to sell them indiviually at Genconoz (Sept) and MOAB (Oct). See you there.

Brr. I know coldness is relative, but we Brissie people will be glad when our 6 wk winter is over.
You will like the new site. All the usual stuff is here but now it's easier to find and the self-editing option will allow more frequent updates (once I've worked out how to do it).
As an opening special, I have reduced the Basic Board UTTT membership by 25% click here
See you soon.

Had an enjoyable weekend with Jason Montague and his WARG team (see Jan 21) at SPLASHDOWN in Gladstone. Tested out my table's suitability for Warhammer 40000 and did a bit of missionary work for Flames of War. Thanks to Jason, Cheryl, Steve, Mark and Jason for making me feel so welcome. They have a fun loving, multi-agegroup and very supportive club membership. I WILL be back.
DIY Expansion Pack 2 (Beach) has just been released. It contains 5xBarts, 1 Bart half-tile (10mm thick rather than the 15mm thickness of regular half-tiles), 5xBart spikes, 1xBart tack, and one of each of the Bart inserts (Basics, Beach and Boulevarde). The rrp is $260 and it is available to members only.
This would be a handy time to revisit the levels of membership http://www.uttt.com.au/membership.html
Next public Showing Bundy Miniatures and Games, Bundeburg, Queen's Birthday long weekend. See you there

Games room is soooo close to being finished. I hope to move in before I head to Bundaberg for Paul Larter's Convention over the long weekend. If you're in the Bundy region, drop in and have a squizz at what conventions are all about - fun and cool figures & terrain. I'm gearing up for Genconoz in September but may be convinced to attend Slouch Hat, Lismore in July. Good luck to Llew Rushton of South Australia. He's organising his first FOW tournie including his brand new UTTT terrain board this weekend. Send me piccies Llew. I'm starting a 'Painting Services' button on my home page soon (1 to 2 wks). It's for both figure and terrain painting gurus who want to showcase their talents. Drop me a line if you want in. At present, it will be restricted to those whose work I can personally vouch for. Enjoy your gaming this weekend, I certainly will.

Spent our honeymoon in a rainforest cabin overlooking a mountain stream that went from being a gurgling brook to a raging torrent after 200+mm of rain. Surreal, unforgetable experience. I hope to model it in the first of the 5H range later this year. In the meantime, 4H1 and 2 are moulding nicely (pics soon), 4H3 is at the casting stage and 4H4 and 5 are nearing completion. They will allow stepped terrain with multiple levels. Point Letitia's mould has torn and I will be struggling to get a half dozen out of it. It's costly and time consuming to replace so if you want one (gold members only) get your order in now. We are now 6 weeks into the extension construction (with two weeks of rain) and I'm thinking of keeping the excavator that's sitting in the front yard. I'd rather have an AFV but I could paint it cammo and pretend that it's a recovery vehicle. Patience Al, nothing worthwhile happens quickly (just ask Inga). Keep the e-mails coming. Al

Welcome our newest distributor, Llew Rushton from South Australia. He's working on a Belgium theme for his world and is keen to gather a flock of UTTT members in the Adelaide area to help him out. If you're interested, drop him a line at llew@adam.com.au. Meanwhile, have a look at what Member # 07 (alright, 007 if you like) is doing with The Ruined Keep at http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=126&forumid=52&view=topic&postid=424280&afsort=DESC . The house extension looks more like a handball court and my wedding is less than two weeks away. I'm staying sane by creating the first 5 overlays in the 4H range (4 x hill hex-sides). When finished, they will allow tiered terrain tables. I've almost got enough of the new 'Point Letitia' Special Collector tile to go public. Check back next month if you're tongue'in for one to finish your beach. Meanwhile, have fun, stay sane and keep those terrain enquiries coming.

Thanks to all who played on my table at Cancon for looking after it so well. Welcome too to the new UTTT members and Habitation owners. I look forward to drooling over your worlds. I'm presently giving the rest of my tiles (~60) their 16000km reflock to match the new style. Next showing will be at Times of War at Hendra, Brisbane: 14th and 15th of Febuary. 2009

Happy 2009 everybody. Lots of new stuff planned for this year (and lots of travelling too). UTTT will have a gameboard in the FOW comp at CANCON (Canberra Jan 24 to 26). Since the comp period is midwar, I have assembled a Salerno (-esque) table that highlights the versatility of the BART tile. If you want to find me, I'll be playing in the FOW comp (and puffing on my pipe out the back between rounds). There's a new club on the Queensland Central coast. Check out the W.A.R.G website at http://www.wargladstone.webs.com/ Contact the club president, Jason Montague for details. He loves a chat. See you at the convention (go the 31. Panzer Regiment).
