splinx Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 So with the OFCC coming up its time for me to start thinking about a display board and i am taking the plunge with making my own tau buildings. I know this is going to be a challenge and i will be buying up small frisbees and circular cutters to help and some pink foam. I was wondering if anyone had tried building them before and had any tips? Cheers Sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purajh Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I have not made any before, But I feel up to the challenge if you want a little company trying to build some tau terrain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_bryan Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think this is something I can help with. I have tons of terrain making tools at the club, and I am sure we can work something out. Just one of the benefits of being Team Bacon :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sweet! I do have my own little stash as well Brian so maybe one evening we can do something down at the club! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure thing! I may start messing around with some designs at the paint and play event on the 16th if you wanna come on down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have old school broadside cannon kits if they're needed. I think I have (3) sets. Maybe. Pretty sure. Stay safe, don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe, don We could hamster mail them down! I'm going to be at guardian games the end of April for breaching the 'faux. If interested I'll play courier.

splinx Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Anyone got anything that can cut 6" diameter mdf circles? Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 So it has begun! With some cheap LED light fixtures, some PVC piping and some pdf i have started working on the display board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I have those same slippers! Terrain is looking good too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 LOL so comfy slippers! Yeah they will start to look a bit more tau once i get them sprayed and my airbrush goes to work on them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 So it has begun! With some cheap LED light fixtures, some PVC piping and some pdf i have started working on the display board. I think it's too uniform in the placement of the hills and round bits. The hills are jagged on the edges, which offsets it. I think you should either make the hills less jagged (get some yard workers out there), or make the placement of the hills seem less uniform. Tau seem like they'd be OCD, so I'd go with making the jagged hills go away. Maybe terraced, or put neat bushes around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Im probably gonna go for more cutting up of the hills and make them more random if anything. The whole story behind it is a tau insertion and these bunkers are dropped in to re-inforce the stronghold on the new planet. So expect more rubble and more frustration to the Tau OCD to hit. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
