i have a hard time shutting my brian off , so its either plan and build stuff like this , or plot world domination , and that would be to quick , and would just get boaring having everyone bow down to me all the time , so game crafting it is .

ok , i dont have any pics , but i used to have some stained glass golums to use when i played D&D minis (i had the book with the rules to convert D&D RPG stats to the minis game) . i made them using shrinkydinks and sharpie markers . i dont have them anymore because i sold them a long while back when doing some spring cleaning of my games i dont play anymore .
the first step was to draw out a figure on the shrinkydinks sheet , very blocky , about 3-4 inches tall . some of them were your standard knights , angels , demons , etc ...... , or i had a really neat one that was a serpent . i added in lots of cells to make it look like it had lots of glass paynes , and had some paynes here and there beyond just the figures . do this with a BLACK FINE POINT sharpie , so the lines stay nice and thin .
next use various colored sharpie markers to color in the figure .
next cut it out . at this point i quickly and lightly ran a black sharpie along the outer edge to make sure it still had its black boarder incase any got cut off .
then just heat as instructed . you do have to pay attention to them incase they start curling durring heating or cooling , you want them to be very flatish , though you can twist an arm or leg if you are careful ( they are hot) to make it look like its gonna attack or is walking . thatwas what i liked about the snake one , it twisted into a neat shape making it looke more animated .
i also made some extra "cells" to look like some of the glass paynes broke off and were on the ground .
also makes a good broken stained glass window bits for terrain .

for the goblin town , i would use the paper mache houses from the hobby stores , like here : www.boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/2965/cottagesfor the walls , since i presume you want to go with materials like cardbaord , but want some good weight and durrability , might i suggest something like i have here : www.boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/3431/cardboard-terrain-noobs-and-craftily-challengedi am trying to find a pic of my drawven golum , which was inspired by the goblin city door golum , though you could just use a large mageknight golum from the atlantis guild . also , i recall seeing a pic of some stuff some one had done useing the hurst molds to do the stair maze and the talking hands in the ubliet .

thnx guys i was in an accident last year ,which put me behind on projects , and working at the post office as a part time temp , they work us pretty hard and long hours , so it just compounded the lasting effects of the accident ( the post office doesnt care if you die on the job , as long as you hit your quota before you hit the floor ) . i am TRYING to get a project done thats been on my table for almost a year . its actually like 4 or 5 smaller projects that kinda snowballed together because they use a lot of the same parts . i am hoping to get it done and posted to my blog in the next 2-3 weeks .
