imperialjawa Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 A little background on this project: So I moved out of the country and now don't have as big a gaming group anymore or friends with garages to game in or a convenient game store to play in . This means I need to make my own place to game. First up, do I have enough space in my 'flat' to set up a 6X4 game table...check Second, get the stuff I need to make an Urban Themed Gaming Table 2 saw horses 2 sheets of 3/4" 2' x 6' chipboard (i found this size easy to store and does not need extra structure under the boards for support) Paint roller selection of largish brushes drop cloth quart of flat black paint paint samplers of 2 different flat grey colors *spray paint was not used...initial plan included some spray painted designs which didn't work Third, start painting black Use rollers to paint boards black Fourth, start making it look more awesome Use the darker of the 2 flat grey paints and a largish brush to stipple a random pattern on to the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialjawa Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Fifth, continue the en-awesoming of the board Use the lighter flat grey paint to stipple over the darker grey...except not as densely Sixth, admire your handy work...doesn't seem to bad for a quick Urban Gaming table Seventh, added some terrain Eight, NOW PLAY A GAME...you deserve it ;-) I hope that this was helpful or at least interesting. If you have any specific questions about this project ask away I'll do my best to answer. I'm thinking about doing more posts about my attempt to paint all that mdf terrain if people are interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Great write up, thanks for sharing! Where is the terrain from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes, do! How is gaming in Ireland? When I was in Dublin I didn't do my normal "nerd" day search for game stores, so I really couldn't get an idea how it was. There was mostly drinking and people smoking outside :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialjawa Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 The terrain is Micro Arts Studio MDF infinity terrain and Spartan Games MDF spartan scenics, plus some CNC workshop miniature scenery. heres some links to the terrain http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/battlefield-hdf-terrain-c-88.html http://www.spartangames.co.uk/products/spartan-scenics/modular-scenery http://www.miniaturescenery.com/index.asp Gaming in Ireland is pretty lively i guess...there is a LGS in downtown Dublin thats pretty nice and a block away from a little GW store...I somehow find this funny. Theres two awesome anything goes tournaments in march and april. Im thinking of taking my Reaver or Warhound with 2 knights to one of these tournies. Making my own gaming table for home use does have the advantage of being able to drink while gaming which i think is how its supposed to be done ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
