Blog NIGHTBRINGER's Terrain & Warhammer Woodworking Projects

That could definitely work. The brushes don't weigh very much so the magnets should suffice.

Thank you!! The mortar/grout was made from PVA glue and sand from the beach (my wife and I collected a whole bunch of sand and rocks during the summer time for hobby projects).

 

I bought the sable "0" and "000" a couple of years back, and use them exclusively for anything other than drybrushing

 

^This. Looks good and heavy. Very nice! I love some great terrain pieces. I'm always looking for ideas on Pinterest. The Sphinx piece of terrain is the one I always seem to have the most difficulty representing. Any ideas?

 

check out aquarium decorations, I'm sure somebody makes a sphinx.

 

Oooh, that one looks good!

 

Not too expensive either. Paint it up to match the rest of your terrain, give it a nice base and it will look really good!

 

My currently mini project is nothing fancy, but useful. I'm in need of some Skink skirmishers movement trays. So I've decided to make a pair of 5X2 skirmishing movement trays.

Step#1 Cutting out the trays!


More to come soon.

 

A quick update on the Skink skirmisher movement trays. After a little bit of filing of the inside edges of the squares, it's time for assembly.

Step #2 Assembly

More to come soon.

 

Hahaha

 

Oh, man. That's on my list of things to do too! You may have just motivated me to get on it! Good job! I like the WIP pics! Spider-Man!

P.S. - How did you cut out the squares? The only thing I can think of is an precision knife.

 

Thank you for the Spider-Man!

I cut the squares out using my Scroll Saw, it's my main woodworking tool (I have a pretty limited arsenal of tools). I use my Scroll Saw for pretty much all of my woodworking projects.

 

How do you get the blade inside the square? (....I may be thinking of a band saw...)

The tray has a very thick (5mm?) outer border....is that the standard now for skirmish troops?

 

I'm not sure what the standard border is for skirmish troops movement trays. I make all my movement trays, skirmish and ranked up, with 1/4 inch (6mm) borders.

A scroll saw blade is very different from a band saw blade. The band saw blade is a loop, while the scroll saw uses a 5 inch straight blade. For the squares, I drill a hole and thread the blade through it.

Here are few pictures of my scroll saw. It's nothing too fancy, a pretty entry level model. But it's a workhorse!


Here is a package of some scroll saw blades. I have lots of different kinds (different: types of teeth, TPI, blade thickness, etc.). Unfortunately it is a bit difficult to see the blades in the package. You can see them on the left side of the package, there are about a 1/2 dozen to a dozen bound together.

 

I once got a splinter stuck in the back of my eyeball.

...as we're sharing woodwork stories

 

Ouch

DOUBLE OUCH. Dare I ask how that happened (at the risk of abandoning my woodworking hobby!)?

 

Well crud. I have a Band Saw, but no Scroll Saw! Oh, well. I guess I can stick to my Exacto Blade. When I was in Architecture school, we had a laser cutter for knocking out windows and such. Now that was a nice tool!
