Funny you should mention that...

Masked off so I don't mess up the material, Gluing the first trim piece, had to buy new clamps.

Really for gaming supplies, books etc. Only an inch high.

Challenge accepted. To be fair, I'm learning woodworking, so little projects like this are forward momentum for me. I don't really have shop space anymore, so smaller things like this are all I can manage for now. The bed project is, awkward to get done.

Got the top all filled in, sanded, and secured in place. then glued and ironed the "felt". You can see the nice little shelf inside. I'll make this first batch this way, but honestly I'd rather have the top just a nice finished wood, using lightweight birch ply or something similar. I can see the green getting gunky. Oh well, I need to do it to know, plus the ply I already had was ugly, but now I know. Next is the trim.

Any talk of recasting, out of print or not, is in no way endorsed or allowed on the Ordo Fanaticus public forums. Naughty naughty.

Hmmm...

Sure thing, but I'm planning on building 4. I've already got the material.

Got the shelf liner in place. All nicely glued and ironed in.It's a nice fabric I found that feels like felt, but wont's be quite so prone to pilling. Now to get the top sheet ready, it's just construction grade 3/8in ply so it has some knots to fill. Then I'll sand it smooth and attach it to the top. The bottome sheet is the same 3/8 ply, and the framing is 1x2 furring strip, so it's actually light for what you get, less than 5 lbs so far. The loose edges of the fabric will be glued in place and compressed when the top is attached. I'm prototyping here but I can already see opportunities for that void...

I'm in the middle of building a bed frame and waiting on a router bit, so I want to get building something while the weather is nice. Only 1 year left to get stuff done for OFCC!

I was hoping to get a demo. It seems like a great way to play high fantasy at a skirmish level, and frankly I only want to run 20 or figures, not giant armies. Friday night would've been a great time to have something going on.

(Gotta match the weathering...)

Thanks for all your hard work!

The bottom half of the board is all framed up. The space in front is just void, but the open back will be a nice little storage shelf.

Well that sure was fun! Now onto the next project. I'm totally ripping off looting the Warhamster's display board. Not surewhat army I'll be bringing, but after a bit of budgeting forecast a brand new army is off the table, so it'll either be 30K Iron Hands or Militarum Tempestus/Knight Household force (I've got that stuff) or maybe reconjiggered Evil Sunz. A custom brain crusha battle fortress and more battle wagons would be cool. Let the building begin!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Now to just go back and touchup a couple of trukks that didn't quite match and get ready for the next project.

Thank you to all the folks who worked so very hard to satisfy our need for gaming! From The months of planning, the schlepping of stuff, data entry and dealing with complaints. Thank you all!

Got my matching markers done and some rockets for trukks! Now to just pack it all and buy a cooler for liquor!

Anvil Ind killin' it again:

Mega Mek is done! That's it for OFCC w00t! (except for some minor stuff that isn't critical, like dodads) 'ee's 'uge!

Home stretch: MegaMek in red Mek done, waiting on a 50mm base from Hobby Titan (should be today)

All they need is our love. I've never had more fun with an army, win or lose.

Hell yes!
