scottshoemaker Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Let's assume no other responsibilities, I could make 4 in a weekend. Most of the time is waiting for glue to dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Scott are you able to have custom inserted boards onto the display board to match the army? i.e. another layer that we can customize to match the army and then slide it in to the top?

InfestedKerrigan Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 If it's a set size in there, say 24x24, it should fit Realms of Battle, plus any other typical display board, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 That's the intent. The top space is 24"x24", with the trim acting as a retaining edge to allow the insertion of a custom terrain top deck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 So in a rather unfortunate session of adulting I did a time and financial budget for the next year in prep for OFCC. Short answer I'll be bringing the Evil Sunz again, no Dred Mob. But I can add new units to the existing army, so there's that. Here's the current prep list: Build team display boards Build and paint Tank Wagon Build and paint Braincrusha Build and paint 3 Gunwagons Paint 20 Choppa Boyz Paint Big Mek Build cosplay big choppa Build Cosplay Thunderhammer Build Cosplay Imperial Preacher Book and costume Prep for possible Friday night Combat Patrol event Build Funhammer trophy master and molds Build 30K Iron Hands Build a table for the table competition Repair the table I already have Whew! Add in trying to save $$$ for a summer trip and other non gaming projects, I think I need to hold off on a second Ork army right now. So, I'll focus on the list for now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Ever have an ideaworm, one you just can't shake. I'm obsessing over this Dreadmob idea. I really, really like the idea of the ork brain buckets on big robot bodies. That leads me to this: with these Kromlech heads: I figure I can cast the bodies once I get it ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Another OFCC project is to enter the table competition. I'd like to base it off of the Barren Wastelands FAT Mat I bought a few years ago: I'm thinking a ruined outpost theme. A low large hill in the middle, sporting a landing pad, high rock outcroppings, low building ruins, with a "Mars Base" vibe. This will all need to fit in a tote so it'll be modular. Maybe some alien rock formations. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Results of my pressure cast tests. I figure it will take about 7 more tests on a piece this size to nail down the process. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
