February 8 Build session

I can felt boards now?


Hello All,

Another Build session has come and gone. This week the turnout was a little lower than the previous two but still large compared to this point in previous years.  Once again the forces of nature have plotted to defeat us and once again the NOVA team has prevailed. This time it was snow flurries and bitter cold.

Maybe not bitter as much as annoyed
Our primary focus was tables, tables and more tables. Didn't we do this last year? And the year before?
Anyway we knocked out 39 tables for Infinity, Malifaux, Warmachine, and general use. 

Getting started





NO wrinkles!




The pile gets bigger

We also made progress on the GT's  L.O.S blocking center pieces in this case gluing sand to the 121 completed frames as well as the containers for the 40K narrative.




That's a LOT of pieces 


Looking forward to seeing this complete
Fantasy Terrain continued to get some love with the next step in house building: grout siding and roof shingles. Check it out

Wood Putty For Siding

Card Stock Shingles



In all it was a good day and the Boss was happy 


=========On  A side Note

Earlier in the week I had a chance to communicate with both the Fantasy folks and Warmachine lead. I was able to get some usable reference pictures for our Fantasy terrain. These are from their local gaming place.

Notice the pond?



For Warmachine I made a prototype for the new hill design requested by the lead. check it out-

Start with a 6x8 1" tall piece of foam

cut out a rough oval

for scale

straight sides for accuracy



All together now!

Well that's all the time I have for now 

Later
