Test of Honour Dice tower and terrain.

 Been awhile since my last post, have been busy making and painting stuff. This is my latest terrain piece which doubles as a dice tower. Tested it the other night playing a game of Pandemic and it works really well. I magnetizes the base so I can remove the top Pagoda and use it as a sperate piece of terrain. Due to the warping of the base print, which wasn't to bad I mounted it on a 3mm mdf board and built it up with clay. Now just waiting a few days to dry and then some sanding.

Tie Fighter

 Almost finished the Tie Fighter and landing platform. Just need to decide on how I'll deal with the stairs and how to attach them. Will probably look at using some magnets as that will make it much easier to store and transport. The print of the TIE fighter was a bit fast and at 0.2 so the lines show up a bit, but still looks the part for a terrain piece.

Here's a size comparison with my AT-ST, its the one in the low position, so the TIE Fighter is just a smidge smaller un height. 

Big Guns

 Got my 3D printer working sweet again after frying the hot end and having to replace it. So started cranking out Legion terrain few weeks ago. Got two large turbo laser turrets done and painted up.

The Factory Build

Some more pictures of my factory build in progress.I managed to get it all together after a few issues.The problems I had were caused by me undercoating the parts before putting them together. This caused them to swell a bit with the summer humidity and since they were a tight fit to start, this caused me issues. I ended up breaking a couple of pins that held the wheels on the crane.  Dremel to the rescue and a bit of copper wire and all sorted.

I'm really not impressed with the cardboard inserts for the windows and doors. The windows aren't an issue really, but the doors... freak-in useless. It's my only real grip with this building. It's the first time I've had a building with the cardboard insert details. The doors are so flimsy and easy to break off, they wont last long in the heat of battle that's for sure. I would have been happy to pay a little more to have the wooden doors. But overall I'm stoked with the building, its turning out better than I was expecting and it will work with several games I play.

Rendra ramshackle barn and Sarissa Factory - WIP

My terrain building has been going well over the past few weeks. I’ve been working on the Sarissa Factory over the past few days, in between finishing off the Rendra ramshackle barn.

The barn was actually very easy to put together and I enjoyed painting it. Now finished its ready for the gaming table.

For the Sarissa factory I had an old plastic diffuser from a florescent light fitting which was broken in the last work office fit out. I had grabbed it and was expecting to use it for some photography lighting, but the moment I saw the roof on the factory I knew I had to use it for the windows.

After a few attempts to cut the plastic using various tools and failing.  I ended up using my dermal and a cutting wheel which worked sweet. So here’s a quick snap or two the progress so far. I put in a few Japanese Bolt Action models for scale.

It should look awesome once I get it finished.
