Kaine Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Book 2 has prompted me to start work on my next 2 boards, if you havent seen the original board i made (ruined pump station) its here This is the first of 9 modules that will make up a 3x3 board For Board 3 i wanted to go with the sewers, in order to make the sewers more interesting i've created two levels of sewer flow. The higher level (the one you can see the stonework through) will count as water but no movement penalties. The deeper level (the one you cant see any stonework on) will count as difficult terrain for ht 1 and 2 models, normal for ht3. (the bonus to ht3 is because other parts of the board will be difficult for them to navigate through) The Teddy models are mine, the others are borrowed to show scale. More too follow (you can also see my board 2 WIP) Edited August 18, 2010 by Kaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semanticdm Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Holy cow, these are both awesome looking! I didn't read all the comments in your first WIP thread for the pump station, but any chance of a how-to? The water effects looks awesome! ~ SemanticDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n0valoco Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was wondering how well Hirst Arts molds and blocks would work for Malifaux. Now I know that I'll have to get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaced2020 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 You are trying to put us all to shame, no? Very nice sewer, makes me think of some interesting ideas. Excellent work again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was wondering how well Hirst Arts molds and blocks would work for Malifaux. Now I know that I'll have to get some. Not cheap though, and not quick, so for most people i'd recommend the terrainclips stuff, alot cheaper and quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 This is great stuff man. I'm working on a sewer as well, but i didn't divide this one up. I decided to tackle the whole thing at once.... as slow as it's going, i may have mad a mistake. this is looking great. i can't wait to see the rest of it.

carbon Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The molds last several castings right? They wont fall apart after like 2 or 3 casts will they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 They quote 50 castings minimum which is very conservative, i've not noticed any degradation and some of mine are over 50 castings. As long as you stick to using plaster and dont use resin the moulds last well, resin will damage the moulds and really reduce the life. I use Hercullite II plaster, its strong enough that you can lift most of the board pieces up by the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Now the question that every one want's to know.... What molds do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xango Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Great water effect i like it, keep up the good work!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0valoco Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I use Hercullite II plaster, its strong enough that you can lift most of the board pieces up by the walls. Not to venture too far afield, but I've usually used either die stone or Merlin's Magic as opposed to plaster. I had a few molds but lost them at some point in the last two moves. I'm thinking about just picking up a #40 basic and a Prison Tower mold which should give me enough variety of blocks to build quite a bit to start with.

Wyrrn Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm thinking about just picking up a #40 basic and a Prison Tower mold which should give me enough variety of blocks to build quite a bit to start with. That's kinda what I've been planning; get a few versatile molds and see what I can create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbdrand Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Very awesome looking. I have some Merlin's Magic (50 lbs) and a few Hirst molds on order. I'm suppoer excited to start producing some different play areas. That's for giving me some great ideas. Yeah, those Hirst molds are not cheap, and you really need a bunch of different ones for different projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Great work. What molds do you use for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
