[WIP] Building of Ruins of Mordheim modular table

That woods look really good, nice update!

It does seem like there is always some little thing to do that will improve the appearance of a gaming table...model railroaders have this problem also. The wells will look wonderful with their new roofs. GREAT IDEA!

Thank you very much.

Tutorial: Building a well, part 3.

The next step was to build the roofs, which I made from wooden slats, coffee sticks and roof tiles cut from balsa wood.

The last step is to glue sand of different weights to the bases and add a few bits.

Thanks for the tutorial. The roofs are a definite improvement to the wells. WELL DONE!

I can only second that statement, it does look really great now!

Thank you very much.

Workshop: Construction of the 'Ruins of Mordheim' modular table, part 98.

Today I have for you photos of the wells whose construction you could follow on the blog in recent weeks.

The wells, placed on independent stands, can be placed on any modules of the Mordheim ruins table, depending on your needs.

You can read more about building wells in the guide published on the blog HERE and HERE and HERE.

The wells look terrific & are great pieces of scatter terrain. In this case though, placing it so close to the storm drain looks strange. Placing it over the drain would work.

Really cool! I like the one with the hole in the roof!

Thank you.

Continued work on ruins. This time I equipped the storage module with doors and windows and scattered boards made of coffee sticks.

EXCELLENT WORK! The level of detailing is astounding. I love your doors & shuttered windows.

Very nice! It 's all those small details that make the terrain pieces so great!

Thank you.

It's time to work on the next table module with Mordheim ruins for Warheim FS.

I made the door, shutters, a hang glider platform and a weather vane.

I mainly used cut coffee sticks, the hang glider is bits from the Birdmen of Catrazza set, and the weather vane is a rolled aluminum plate.

OUTSTANDING WORK once more! Don't let all the detail work overwhelm you when it comes time to paint it all.

Really nice! Love those candles!

Thank you.

Work on the Mordheim ruins table for Warheim FS continues.

I made another door using coffee sticks, a paper clip and a toothpick.

In the photos you can see what the door module looks like.

You certainly have a very well detailed boards. Don't let all the detail; overwhelm you when it come time to paint.

I love all of the details and brick-a-brack! Keep it up!

Again awesome work! I love the 'balacing' statue!

Thank you very much.

Workshop: Construction of the 'Ruins of Mordheim' modular table, part 102.

Work on the Mordheim ruins table for Warheim FS continues.

And for now, it mostly consists of cutting out doors, shutters and moldings from coffee sticks...

You do have a way with details. VERY NICELY DONE!

Thank you.

Workshop: Construction of the 'Ruins of Mordheim' modular table, part 103.

Work on the Mordheim ruins table for Warheim FS continues.

Well, even more doors, shutters and moldings made of coffee sticks.

YET ANOTHER SPENDID module! I love the tower.

Thank you.

Tutorial: Doors made of coffee sticks.

Today I have a short guide for you, in which I will show you step by step how to make doors from coffee sticks in models depicting the ruins of Mordheim.

To make doors and shutters you will need a few coffee sticks or other thin wooden strips, a sharp knife, a marker, a hand drill, as well as a paper clip, wood glue and cyanoacrylate glue.



I started working by cutting coffee sticks to a length equal to the height of the door.

Then, using a sharp knife, I cut the fragments lengthwise to obtain narrower slats.

If you want to age the door, be careful, you can, for example, use a lighter and burn the cut slats with a flame.

If you decide to take such a step, be careful and prepare a container with water to extinguish the fire.





In the next step, I cut the coffee stick into sections whose length is equal to the width of the door.

I cut the fragments obtained in this way lengthwise to obtain narrower slats, which I then glued with wood glue perpendicular to the vertical slats.




Then, from the previously prepared narrower fragments, I cut out further fragments and glued them with wood glue at an angle between the previously glued horizontal beams.





To make imitation hinges, I used a toothpick cut into pieces, which I forgot to mention earlier, and glued them with wood glue.





Then, using a thin drill placed in a hand drill, I drilled holes in the previously glued beams imitating the places where the nails should be placed.



Then, using tools, I made door handles from a paper clip and glued them with cyanoacrylate glue in the holes drilled with a hand drill.







And I placed the doors prepared in this way in the frames intended for them, located on the models.

That was an interesting, informative tutorial. Thanks, q.c.!

Nice updates again! And very nice tutorial!
