Title: Blucher Rules Dice Shako...err...Shaker
Post by: Captain Darling on June 13, 2016, 02:12:53 PM

Well the Blucher Rules involves keeping Momentum Dice hidden in a 'small opaque cup' so in my quaint style of always over doing things I thought I have two hours to spare, some PCV pipe, some 0.5mm styrene sheet, some super glue and tools let's do something better than a 'small opaque cup'...

Here's what resulted, please note the hand model is my partner my cuticles are no where near this well manicured!
