Haven't posted pictures of my stuff lately, but I made a western building, the sheriff's office about 8 months ago and never posted a picture of it. I had not put in windows yet as I couldn't decide how to make them, but after seeing DM Scotty's windows from his tavern, I'm going to do something similar. It'll mean cutting the walls, but that shouldn't be to hard to do. So below is a picture of the office, sans windows and doors.

I do like the last figure you showed from Infinity very good job! A store near me carries the line so I'm going to have to look through them a little better!

I regularly run a Post Apoc campaign based on Gamma World. I throw in other ideas as well, but I usually have lots of fun with it. The last campaign I ran, the characters encountered two different waring bands of cockroaches, that were fighting over a food pile that an automated robot system would dump food at every few days. Of course the players wanted to get some of the food, but had to deal with the two roach armies. The roaches were about 3 feet in length and caused for some really funny events!

Welcome to the craft!
Painting foam with spray paint is possible, if you keep the can far enough away from the foam the foam will not melt. The distance I have seen written on the side of spray cans is 18 inches. I try to keep the can at least that far away when I'm painting foam and my foam does not melt!
You could also make a mix of white glue and water, 50/50 and brush it on before you spray paint the foam and it will create a layer on the foam that will reduce/keep the paint from hitting the foam directly.

Didn't comment on the thread before, just liked the images but wanted to say that I like what you've done with the printed textures, very good job!

Unfortunately, I haven't found anyplace in my area that I can get Hyrdostone from, so I've got to get it shipped to me! That's where it becomes more expensive! I'll need to look around again as someone my stock it in the area, but I pay almost as much to ship the 50lb sack to my house as I pay for the sack.

This is making me think about doing a paper-thin bit of Sculpey Clay, pushing it into the mold, cooking it, then filling the bulk with Hydrostone. If it works it would end up with a mostly Hydrostone block, with a thin skin of baked Sculpey that would keep it from chipping. I had considered doing the same thing with resin, but resin is even more expensive than Sculpey and would only fill the bottom of the block, with Sculpey I should be able to have it come up the sides as well. That's a great idea. You could also use an expanding foam to fill the void in the Sculpey! Course, you'd have to trim the foam once it set! My Sculpey ended up being cheaper than Hydrostone cuz I had a 40% off coupon, but that's the only reason!

That's a great looking Kickstarter and I'd back it if I had the funds to do so! But it's great to know that they're looking to bring a cheaper CNC to the market.
Also, thanks for posting about hackerspaces beetlewing!

So here are the pictures of the Sculpey after it has been baked. It really came out very nicely, even with the little deformation that occurred. This was just out of the oven. This was arranged on a piece of black foamcore. Now I need to get to work making tiles out of this stuff!

The mold material is correct for Bruce's molds, also, you normally pour the material into the mold as they are 1 part molds so the bottom edge of what you cast is flat, no pattern. Yes, when I pull the Sculpey out, it can deform while de-molding, but if I leave it to set up overnight, it does become a little easier to work with!
Now I need to lay the pieces out on some black foamcore I have and take some photos of them. I hope to do that tonight and then post the images. Since they are made of white Sculpey, I figure the black foamcore will display them well!
