Scarab7664 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not sure where to post this but this is a project I am working on. It is meant as a border piece on the edge of a board. It is a slow going process but I am learning a ton and it is fun. It will be nice to get it finished and throw some figs on it. I tried to have each Row House have a little different theme going on so it will work with more than one gaming system. I think this will work for Malifaux hopefully.

Omenbringer Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 That looks great so far. I really love tables with border accents, it helps immerse players into the game. The inclusion of details is what will really make this pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarab7664 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's really awesome, do you have a blog with more pics or a guide at all? My boys and I are just getting a blog put together but it does not have this piece on there yet. Very little content on it really. I need to go back and rummage through all my old stuff and photo's and get them posted. Just not all at once I suppose haha. When I do post the pics I will for sure try and give a step by step as to what I did. Cheers, John... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarab7664 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Here some more progress on this piece. The dirt is done. I decided to try something new on the second piece and do the dirt first and attach the garbage after. We will see how that goes. I have painted the pieces of wood, the backpack and some material. Doing a medium job on them so it will look good at arms length. Will probably put more effort into the front of the buildings. I guess it all depends on the night. Hope to be consistent though. Haha... C&C welcome... Cheers, John... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurreyLee Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 How did you do the individual blocks in the wall. I can see regular polystyrene for part of the walls. Is it filler that you've allowed to dry then sculpted into? Really nice work and i'd have thought a relatively inexpensive way of making a table look amazing.

When it is all said and done no foam will be showing on this piece except for inside the windows and backside which I will end up painting black. I plan on covering it all with something. The rocks that are carved into the various areas was carved in. I would first frame the area in giving me about 1/4" deep at least. Then I would mix some plaster and pour it in the area I just framed in. The key here is not to let it dry all the way. I wait about 45 minutes or so then start carving. I always have a brush when I do this to remove material that I have just carved up. Hope that helps. I plan on giving more detail on our blog when I get a moment with more pictures.
