Blog NIGHTBRINGER's Terrain & Warhammer Woodworking Projects

Have you thought about just attaching the magnets to the base and the sheet metal (I use magnetic sheets - cheap and easy to cut) to the underside of the model? Seems like it would make those magnets stretch a lot farther.

 

I fully admit that the wood-to-metal bond is more than strong enough, it's merely a mental disturbance/deficiency in my mind . lol

That is so cool that you got to see it in action in person. Hitting the blade is a costly mistake (need to replace both the blade and the stopping mechanism), but not as costly (or permanent) as loping a finger off! So you said your father in law has gone through many blades... how many times has he made that mistake?

I like the magnets on the base of the models, because I stick them to the inside of my storage tool box with or without a movement tray. Luckily, I can usually find a good deal on rare earth magnets from China on eBay.

 

I don't know if my father-in-law has ever had a mistake on himself (he's really quite careful) but he is a professor, so he has lots of students and other people wanting to see how it works, so...

 

Good point. That's quite the expensive curiosity those students have!

 

Here are a few pictures of another wall I made a while back. This time we have a log wall made out of branches from the back yard after some tree trimming. It measures about 6.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high.




Let me know what you think!

 

I'd be tempted to impale something on there...

 

Would that something be a warm blood who is deserving of the wrath of the Old Ones and their scaly children?

Thank you!

That sounds amazing... take some pictures!

 

Sounds great... I look forward to it!

 

Hmmm... perhaps add some lashings around the tops of the palisade's,
like this....

 

It sounds like you guys will have an awesome time with that. I'm sure it will be a great entry point into the hobby.

I've always wanted to make a fort based on something like this. It will be a fun project for sure.

 

And to think you said you didn't have any talent!

You my friend have a steady hand and a fine eye.

 

Thanks Rikard, but this stuff is easy compared to working with green stuff!

 

10/10 would kill a cold one from dangerous terrain

 

Hahaha... poor cold one!

 

Here is one of my favourite pieces I did a while back. It's a custom designed Disc of Tzeentch I cut out of maple. Difficulty wise, this is definitely pushing the upper limits of my scroll saw skills because the cuts are so small and delicate. It has a diameter of 50mm.



Let me know what you think. Cheers

 

You're not alone in wanting to do so. Some day, some day.

On another note; I love your woodworking skills! Especially the paint rack with the hidden tzeentch mark, and of course the spectacular tzeentch sorcerer disk. It's like looking at a beautiful snowflake, only big! And made of wood!
