I think my wife would WELCOME a long respite from keeping the kids! Lol!

And don't worry. I have PLENTY of practice orcs waiting in the wings!

In no time, I'm sure I'll be another decade older and me and my kids will be having round-robin, in-house tournaments! :D
FYI em4 Miniatures has 50 packs for about 10 US dollars of dwarves and Orcs with different weapon combinations

They are perfect for beginners and kids

That sounds awesome. :)
 
Simple, effective, elegant.

That's what I'm going for. As you can see, there's not a tremendous amount of space on either side of the table top. That's one reason I'm keeping away from adding some of those fold-out "desk trays" that you see on some game table internet searches. The board that I had bought and set on top of another table (not quite 4x6), was starting to sag slightly at the edges since they were hanging off the table beneath. Now, with the added bracing, and edges, it'll hold it's shape, I can change out mats if needed (even make some 3D effect tops - future projects), and dice and models aren't in danger of rolling off or being knocked off. Also, now that my quads are almost 3 years old, this'll help keep wandering hands back from my models.

I'm not quite finished as you can see (I still need to trim the corners a bit more - it was getting late last night when I reached this point) but I should be able to cut them and snug them up for a tight fit real soon. I hope you like! Let me know if you have any good ideas or comments!

Your setup looks amazing! Moar pictures as you continue working one your game room!
 
Ask and ye shall receive! I finished with the end pieces last night. I won't be able to work on it anymore for several days, since I'll be going on a small vacation to Atlanta tomorrow through the weekend. Next weekend I have a big 5000 pt game planned as well, so it might be a little while. But anyway, it's together and very sturdy!

You should build open top boxes for the corners to hold drinks
 
I've considered it. But probably something that can clip onto the edge so that they can easily be removed. Everything I've seen has all been very clunky and taken up lots of space, even when folded up. I'm thinking about making trays that will slip over the lip and use the side as a back support. They can be moved wherever you need them (any side) and can be stored easily out of the way, when not in use. I'll probably do something like that. I can have a portion of it for attachable drink holders and even one for dice rolling. Many, many possibilities!

Hmmm that sounds intriguing indeed...

Now we just have to fit in a trap door and....

Sorry, just wanted to ask something. I currently have an Ophidian Archway and a Numinous Occulum built in their component pieces, but not completely glued together, so as to allow flexibility with how I build it each time. Is it feasible to have it like this and spray and paint it, or do I just need to pick a configuration and glue it like that to use it properly?

I'd use rare earth magnets, depending on the connection points

I agree, neodymium magnets would most likely work fine. I am not too familiar with the model but on first glance it looks like you can magnetize it.

Sorry I don't have any experience or actual magnets for that sort of thing. The only thing I really have other than glue to stick them together is Blu-Tak. Do you think that would still work or should I just bite my lip and glue them?

You don't need experience. We can teach you. They are pretty simple to use

To be honest, I think the real question is how possible is it to magnetise or glue it after it's been sprayed and painted?

You would have to add the magnets or prep the spot before painting. If you add the magnets, painters tape over them wholr painting to protect the facing

So do you think the best thing to do is cover up the contact points during spraying and then just get on with painting and magnetise/glue them at a later date?

(By the way, sorry @Chicken Lips for hijacking your thread. Probably best to move the conversation here where I put the question too http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/ravagekittehs-models.19582/ )
