Movement tray's

[kables]

Even though this is not a Lizardmen Idea
here is a very cheap method of making some cheap movement tray's

first off goto your local hobby store
for me its a Hobby Town USA in Manassas

here is all you need
1 Hobby Knife
1 Bass wood (Balsa wood) 12inches by 6 inchs
1 Bass wood (Balsa wood) think stick 1/32 by about 18 inches. this is the little stick that breaks once you put in the bag... Ugg
1 Super glue (i preferred this over wood and GW glue)
1 Pin for marking
1 piece of sandpaper
and some models for measuring distance

most important Cutting Board.
Seriously. the Knife is decently sharp and id recommend this before you make a cut in that 800 table of yours.


anyone can do this im not really going to explain in detail how it was done.

most importantly it cost 6 bucks for 5 things of wood and 5 sticks.

thats 16 bucks cheaper then GW and it took like 14 min per 1.

looks good, i've got a ton of scrap wood hanging around so i might be able to make a few. i bet you could add a bit more of detail if you painted the edges green them dry brushed over with a little bit of brown for a cool jungle affect. by the way, i really like the brown cold one, it's a nice color theme.

it's a nice color theme.

Umm well at first they are yellow like FF Chocobos
im trying to make them more lizard like. The one is front is non-washed the back on is Covered in Black wash as a test.

Most seem to like the dark wash on the yellow makes it more of a tan and black.

thanks though i am still WIP on most everything

Those are cool! I made my own movement tray out of foamboard and cardstock:



I've heard of people making their own out of old sprues before as well. Check this out:

Sorry to say Asrodrig, but ur lizzies gave me an idea for mine. Plz don't think I'm 'stealing' it

Your movement trays are really nice, and I also think you did a great job on the color scheme.

I have a big book of reptiles, amphibians, etc., that I use for a reference, and your saurus would be right at home in there. The whole army must look spectacular!
