Supervillain: Braincase

With an oversized skull mask and a regular-sized chainsaw, Braincase is a fairly run-of-the-mill villain. Inspired by famous slasher movies and villains, this madman attempts to recreate the on-screen evil in the "real" world. Presumably, the heroes stop him before it goes too far.

The name, "braincase," just means the skull, but it's close enough to "headcase," which is defined as a "mentally unbalanced, unpredictable person, especially one who displays aggressive behavior." This is, in the broadest sense, a pun, or play on words.

One of the reasons Braincase isn't a top-tier villain is that he's not particularly distinctive. He's got a red hoodie, a skull mask, some nice sneakers, and that's pretty much it. He's probably more of an ambush hunter than an actual fighter, too.

The model is built primarily from the Male Survivor sprue of the Project Z game, but the normal head options were ignored, replaced for a skull from the Citadel Skulls box (much like the Devil Mayfair). Not much else to say here. I didn't have an orange I liked for the chainsaw, so I mixed (far too much) Vallejo Bloody Red and Sun Yellow to get the right shade.

Urban Terrain: Pizzapocalypse

My fair city has gained another fast food option with the addition of Pizzapocalypse. This single-story building, shown with Mr. Whisper for scale, sits on an 8x8 "double" lot.

The building was 3D printed in two main pieces, with the roof (and top three layers of bricks) as a separate piece that attaches to the bottom with magnets. The sign, door frames, and window frames are also separate pieces. The window frames are each split into two halves, with "window glass" of transparent acetate (overhead projector sheets) sandwiched between them. The current sign design is a stand-in until I can design more appropriate signage.

This puts our fair city to a total of 12.5 lots out of the 14 needed to fill the board:

• Biggut's Fish (Fast food restaurant): 1 lot
• Urban Residence: 1 lot
• Urban Shop: 1 lot
• Bank: 3.5 lots
• Bus Stop: 1 lot
• Subway Station: 1 lot
• Pool Hall: 2 lots
  
• Pizzapocalypse: 2 lots

Using three of my 2-inch (half lot) alleys would be enough to make up the missing spaces. This means the basic urban table is practically done!
