I URGE YOU TO BUY A GLUE GUN.
« on: 09 April 2013, 09:46:44 PM »
if you do not already own one i urge you to go out and buy a pack of balsa, some card from the orders that morning free from the grocery store and a glue gun and get working. the things you can make if you imagine the structure first and just attack the build are mental. i have been building MORDHEIM terrain for me and my friends to play on.
please have a gander below.













C&C encouraged.

this is my first terrain in three years.

There are times I wonder how I managed without my glue gun...poorly to be sure.
That aside, you are coming along VERY NICELY with your various building projects. Keep up the GOOD WORK...I'll be watching!

Agree 100% I recently pulled out my hot glue gun and started gluing chunks of moss and lichen to various bits of wood. Before I knew it I had more hedges than I knew what to do with!

Your stuff looks great -- please show us the finished terrain, too!

I built a poker-card sized Mordheim table out of cardboard and popsicle sticks in two days' time once because my buddies and I had a big urge to play Mordheim all of a sudden.

I built the entire packed table (with structures up to 12-14" tall)...and popsicle stick bridges...dusted all of it with various grey/brown spray paint...and we gamed the piss out of it.

Then when all was said and done, I threw it away a few weeks later (no room in my apartment).  Cheap and effective.  Not pretty but it really worked well.

I have both hobby/craft (low temperature) and a regular (high temperature) guns.  I find the latter especially useful for raising blisters on the delicate skin of my hands!
