Constable's Star Port Thread - #New Faces Around Town p7
« on: April 28, 2015, 10:24:18 PM »
A Long long time ago, well 3 weeks, in a galaxy far far away, well my hobby table, a building program has begun by a nefarious empire on a small desert planet in the outer rim.

A cooling tower of some kind rises out of the sands. (It's a dice tower!) Sadly even though I tested comparability with my dice at home the baffles moved while drying and the largest dice get stuck :(



Cheers
Matt.

So will this be part of your other project or is it some new arid sci-fi adventure?

Made me lol.  What a great idea though.  Consider it stolen if I could get my arse into gear.

Great job on the Dice Tower Constable Bertrand, fantastic idea, sad to hear that one of the baffles moved.

Very nice.

You are still pushing it, though.

You're so weak  lol

Well, at least a little of the blame has to go to you, does it not?
You evil pusher, you.

To be fair to James, I had bendy plastics in my mits before he did! lol lol

The width of the dice is wider than the flat sides, and the dice moves on the points not the flats. Testing with the big die involved the flats.. you try putting your hand up in there.. so it was partly my fault too, but the baffle moved too.

Steve, our gaming is pretty ecclectic, I suspect part of what we are doing rather than a set build, but who knows once this new movie comes out. ;) so as such the fence will have some corrugated panneling once I've painted the brown fence. (What fence? See below) that will help tie it into a outer rim scrap town/post apocalypse vault cooling tower nicely.

The vent lid is removeable to insert the dice.

And another crappy phone photo of basing on 3mm perspex, with a wee fence.



No that isn't a DeafNala mushroom on the top, it's my lamp.  ::)

Now come on Paul, start your SW set already, it's been on your back burner for ages now  >:D Nothing like a new movie to motivate you!! :D

I have had mine for years now too.
I just keep getting distracted with other things.

There are still a few things that I need to finish off first, as this kind of project could easily take over and keep me at it for a long, long time..
 ;)

I will get on to it soon, though, as the pull is getter harder to resist......

Soo, I finished repainting and basing these...


The filthy little Jawas direct some potential customers towards their wares.


The Tuskens are easily excited by what the Jawas are offering.

For a summary of my method on bendy plastics, and how not to make them sticky, check out my blog http://makeandpaint.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/wotc-repaints-and-brother-vinni-nuclear.html

Next up will be a few droids, and some banthas :D

Thanks Paul! :D

>:D

Well since you asked so nicely, I shall not post anything for over 3 weeks*. How does that sound? Will that give you enough time to gear up for your SW project? ;) Im sure Michka, Chico, Turbo-Ben, Swinegrab and Bibbles will provide plenty of motivation during that time  >:D

You shall be avoiding the future board all together I assume to "stay on target" with your current projects. ;)

Cheers
Matt
