Let me know when the work will be completed; happy to see this model in all its glory She has been getting close there is still a huge Gothic church to do and the boards themselves but should be done by end of April. I should also note it's been me holding up the project I have had a couple of revisions, and as always work often gets in the way too.

Stanislav Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Anita is amazing with styrofoam! She was a large sponsor for Clash for a Cure 2011 and she is back on board with us again. She is definitely worth looking up. The rivers she does are mind-blowing (especially with the large waterfall pieces)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legba Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Close ups of the harbor, its not full on the water yet but it soon will be. Fyi she is available for work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foofighterubu Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wow, that's going to look awesome. How big will it be? 4x4 feet with an additional Bazaar board section to swap out with harbor. ---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ---------- Looks good. How much did it cost you? Big project like this has a lot of layers of cost. Buildings, fountain and stocks, bridges vary between 10 and 45 or so. River work is usually about $7 per foot, but I usually build those as movable sections, so this is a little different. also different water product and extra wo5rk to card off open ends of he board to keep the product from escaping. The harbor is a major water piece in itself. Special work carving and the volume of water product it will take to fill it are one of the two largest costs on this thing. Both exceed the upwards-of-whew! mark The other is the Cathedral. I don't usually kit-bash ... ransacking model to make something new.. but several ancient building models worked very well for the Ol' dame. The board... my base price is $35 per 2x2ft section. Thats cut and flock and some detail work such as rocky out cropping attached or carved in the board. These sections all have some kind of specialized surfacing, brick work, stone, creepy Lovecraftian mosaic, tile, stone slabs. Also all but one section has river cut into it. So this board was ... what twice that? I'd have to check the early quotes... There is a roof for the church and a covered bridge and two more small bridges yet to come. I remember an early conversation where, having seen the proposed map, and item details, I suggested the man have a heart to heart between his hearts' desire and his wallet. LOL It still seems like a huge amount of work yet to do, but a lot of it will happen very quickly. Shipping it will be all kinds of interesting. packing will be as big an adventure as building it. I'll let Sean give you a private quote if he'd like, but remember, this project is ten times what I have ever accomplished for any one customer ever.

Dustcrusher Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I love how everything looks like it's been ripped out of an oil painting. It adds another layer of surreal to the already-thoroughly-warped setting that is Malifaux. Almost seems too classy to be playing miniatures games on it...

Thanks, but all the the effort was Anita her work is just simply first rate! (and there is nothing simple about it!) I could not be happier with how the work has come out thus far, exceeded my expectations by ten fold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boscotopia Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Any idea where she got that thin pink board? The thinnest I have found was 1/2 inch. That looks like 1/4 or 1/3 inch, doesn't it? 1/2 is good for stone walls but not good for wood walls and interior walls. I have foamcore but that warps way too much and once the paper is off, is too thin. The size your designer used looks perfect. Any info? Any suggestions? Thank you ahead of time to anyone that helps. :Confused_Puppet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
