Wargame table - Pink B&Q style

some terrain added



the spare board.

Nice work, keep posting pics as you can. I would really love to see how it progresses.

I'm not getting the understructure. The rest is sweet. I like the dried up river bed section, thats genius.

the under structure is just extra support. (my dining table isn't that big)

nice is it gonna be a dessert?

yep. with the riverboard being a bit greener

sounds outstanding, good luck with it!

COOL! Desert, Oasis, the Theme from Laurence of Arabia playing in the background; EXCELLENT STUFF! From the looks of the rock formations et al, I'd say you have a hot wire tool lurking in the cupboards somewhere. This is ANOTHER great project that will be Uberenjoyable to follow. As always, WELL DONE!

Actually, work sent me to buy one for a packaging project.

(isn't it a shame?)



The Hills are actually leftovers from doing up the company showroom. I saw them in the trash and dutifully rescued them.

before the days of owning a hot wire cutter, i used to heat a wooden handled knife on the cooker and slice away.

Little update:
I'm just sorting out the connecting pegs now.
(10mm Dia. wooden rods)

Once pegged, I'll carve some minor suface detail on.

Cool!

Pegs made and fitted

What is that foam? It looks like pink insulation foam at first glance but now in the close up it seems not to be.

Thats what I think it is, the insulation foam. I got a couple of sheets of it when I need to use it. Great work so far on the terrain. Keep it coming!

its pink insulation foam. (the label is still on the pack in photo one)

*facepalm* Too bad we can't get that neat packet of it here in the US.

Does anyone want to buy a packet and ship it to me? I will pay for the costs incurred, of course.

finally some time for updates.

VERY NICE RIVER! I take it the River Section can be substituted for one of the unadorned sections, or is it reversible? Regardless, you've got a REALLY cool gaming board. MAY GOOD FORTUNE SMILE UPON YOUR DICE [don't borrow Saul's, Good Fortune has a finite number of smiles ]!

Superb! Great job on the river. Are you planning to get the clear coat EZ water to make it really shine?

River section is fully interchangable. (may be given a coat of PVA + Gloss to add shine)

I'd never borrow Sauls dice.....He loses too much. unassuming small white and red dice are the way to go!

Poor Saul, no luck other than BAD!
AND I'm a Red & White Dice Guy myself...GREAT MINDS & all that.

terrain for the table:

River pre gloss



Elven / Eldar Ruins


Hills

I hate you all! I'll have you know I've won 33% of my games this year!

Great looking table Lee - can't wait to see the "green wash and gloss varnish" on the river.

WELL DONE, Oh Pinnacle of Mean Green Power! Strangely enough looking back over ALL the years of Mini Mayhem, it's not the winning or losing I remember; it IS the camaraderie & those cinematic moments that warm my frosty old heart.

AND,speaking of cinematic, The Table looks better with each post. The Elven Ruins [Pointy Eared Pooftahs can't make ANYTHING that lasts ] ARE Ubercool. I too want to see how the wash & gloss works out on the river section. WELL DONE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Great work! Really loving those ruins, I like the kind of elvishy/gothic feel they have.
Makes me feel guilty seeing a great board coming together. I haven't even gotten around to buying some styrofoam yet!

trees now built.
twisted wire wrapped in masking tape

sand added and painted brown

clump foliage added (woodland scenics)
