Title: BSC2025 Snitchythedog Frostgrave Transport
Post by: snitcythedog on January 10, 2025, 11:17:15 PM
Now that I have a bit of time, I can write up a description of what I am planning on.  The Wildwoods expansion introduces transports as a kind of mobile base for wizards to work from when in the wilderness.  Like everything else in Frostgrave, the build concept is pretty open to interpretation.  I really don't want to make just another wagon or Vardo as I have a fair few already so my plan is to combining parts of this:
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TcjKCSbBL._AC_SL1000_.jpg) 
With elements of these.

I am not sure if I want to add a detailed interior or not.   So we shall see if it pans out.

Good luck mate.
Thanks.  Still working out the kinks in my hobby space.  Moving house is one of the few things I genuinely hate.

I felt that. 6 Months after my 8th move and I still can't find shit.

Looking forward to your creation!

Ugh, indeed. We didn't move, but had to pack up nearly everything for a floor replacement in 2023. Still missing a box of hobby stuff.

Good luck - sounds like you will end up with an addition to your gaming rather than something to pop on the shelf, which is a win in my book  :)

There's a leg and spider pun in there somewhere. Legging it? Getting a leg up?

Got some more work done tonight
Built and detailed the front sides and back of the head.  Added some gears to the interior so it is extra chompy.

I will need to prime the interiors of both these pieces before I can put tops and bottoms on then off to the abdomen and exterior detailing.

In the end I decided not to worry about priming the interior.  Finished the roof of both the head and the thorax. Simple coffee stirrers with a skin of self adhesive ducting  tape.  I need to see if I want to tile the tops or if I want to leave it looking like waterproofed fabrics.   There is still some gap filling to do but I will finish that once I have built the interior/exterior of the abdomen.

With the roof I assumed you were going with lead rather than waterproof fabric but either way it works.

Thank you for the nice words all.
Is there enough space underneath for a mini to stand?
On the backside.  It is stooping down in front both to be chompy and to move the center of gravity forward for when the abdomen is built.   
With the roof I assumed you were going with lead rather than waterproof fabric but either way it works.
I think fabric.  A lead roof would be pretty heavy but it would however stop the gama rays.   8)

Had some time last night and this morning to work on the abdomen. First attempt was way too small so I built the design again a bit bigger.  First a photo for scale with a mini on a 25mm base.

A photo to give an idea how big it is compared to the other assemblies.

The side I started to detail.
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkEriYPkSwTpQb67r1eGqU-jKQ6eQASLGZIyDKrOr039V1PIsheef22tD3qDIe-2yznvv8vuGDg-LneWq1lKaF2pCNuZE2zT-ezgAlMqBCNZP-9xo4L3NPTMp23yGopyTIugqxZoNku5ieNvlA5vWFCT1MJEabfwv74coYK2yN4GLC79VJnI6uLYhVtAQ/s5152/DSC00001.jpg)
I will still have to frame the interior with wood molding between the panels and anything on the other side will need to be either pretty small or need to be separate as there will not be enough room to paint otherwise.  Framing on the outside will be easy enough but I do not know how I will be doing the windows or the underside of the abdomen yet.  Need to have a think before I move on that.
Hope you like.

Just a quick update as it has been a busy week with work so I was unable to get much done.   
Finished framing the interior/exterior of the abdomen.  Still to do are gap-filling, floor/ceiling, window frames, interior details, exterior stowage and detail and build the connection between the body segments.  Apart from one element, interior detailing should be pretty quick and easy to do as there will be little actual "building"
Off to some fairly boring photos.

Finished detailing the interior.  Added a small desk, shelf and some other items.  I have cut the floor but not scribed in lines for the floorboards yet so I did not add it in for the photos. 
First a view of the new interior elements from above.

I have also managed to fit the mounting for the abdomen to the thorax.

But if he ever takes home a date, that thing might tilt over onto its tail  lol

I love all the details you've crammed in; I'd probably would have done the same; onve you pop, you just can't stop, right? Seriously though; how prone is the transport to topple backwards?

Thank you all for the nice comments.
I must admit I don't envy you painting all that interior detail.
It is easier than it looks as I have a set system and color palette in place for painting details.
Seriously though; how prone is the transport to topple backwards?
Funny enough at the moment it is not.  It is a combination of the weight of the legs and plastic parts in the front two sections and the forward leaning stance.  We shall see if it holds up once a roof and details are added.  Worst case scenario, I will find some place to fit ballast on.   lol

Just another update. 
I had some ho scale photo etched fencing left over from another project that works nicely to make a cage.  This was set on the side of the abdomen.  The bottom of the cage comes off so it can be painted and some more details added.  A plaster cast crate was also added on. 
(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP46_1tfuAM5tjdUm1AJvb9B9sXQ255cPpt_dlsNCYRwuWT4_7D1i5DQ1pr6cwbE3hEpeVrLCd6485SIkRZz0hEQ7irBxXw11dadagMUZy2H_s3kqq6yaH4iuhWlQHQuN9ZeMnvBg-ktnLxWaJgfmXyh83HQHF881E_syzTvf4cDFWeIA2Pgzr9QMQSYA/s2592/DSC00018.jpg)
A hirst arts barrel was added onto the side with a small mount and another plaster cast crate.

Some resin and plaster cast sacks were added onto the top of the thorax.

Two overview shots.  I had to use blue tack as the parts are too heavy to stay attached by friction alone.

Real life has been getting in the way of hobby time.  Tonight I had some time to do a bit of work. 
The abdomen looked a bit off hanging out in space.  I decided to mount a unicycle wheel underneath it on a swivel and I added some steps leading up to the interior. 
I am hoping that I will be able to get some more time in this week to finish up the roof on the abdomen and add some more exterior details.  It may not sound like much but with how work has been the last two weeks, I am not sure how much time I can spend on it.

Thank you all for the nice words.  I managed to get more done this weekend so I may have the primed final build photographed by this weekend. 
The unicycle wheel gives it a dash of whimsy and certainly fixes that "hanging out there" vibe.
I had to wrack my brain a bit to work out a solution as it did not look balanced and it was way too late to work on a smaller version.

It's got a certain Myazaki vibe and the unicycle wagon wheel just reinforces that. Might result in spilled ink in the wizard's study, though!

Really enjoying seeing this come together, can't wait to see the interior all painted up.
