Talon's builds

[talonzorch]

Hi there,

I just wanted to generate a little thread, where I can show my builds. By now these are not that many - but I am constantly doing some new stuff. 

1. A little Cottage






2. My gnome cleric for the upcoming DnD game







3. The dicebox for my girlfriend including a space for a miniature





4. My first set of dungeon tiles







5. My second set of dungeon tiles









So far - these are my little builds by now.

On some of the "2nd set" dungeon tiles I need to apply black cardstock at the cardboard to cover it - but as I ran out of hot glue sticks I need to wait for the post guy to deliver my new glue sticks.

Dice and Miniature Box 2

[margaret]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the dice box + padded miniature slot idea. Excellent for traveling players.

[talonzorch]

Thanks! The dice box was quite easy to make.

I bought for 1,50€ a plain wooden box (from TEDI, a german low-budget store). Then I made the corners from plywood, carved the lines and holes in with a pen. Another sheet of plywood was made to seperate the miniature compartment from the dice / pen area.

Then I took some kitchen sponges, cut them so I got about 5mm thick sheets, and laid the miniature inlay out with it. Glued it all in place with hot glue.

The next part was the dice and pen compartment. I took green felt, cut them to the right sizes, and glued it in place.

The painting was using the following scheme: Black, then dark brown (2-3 layers), Black Ink on the brown. The Metal parts had been painted with black, brass, highlighted with gold and inked with black.

I like the result.

Material costs are at about 2-3€ - and I guess you wouldn't be able to buy such thing for less then 15€ :-)

6. My Dicetower - made from Cardboard

Good way to get a fairly wide exit tray in a limited space!

A Viking Longhouse in Production





Has someone of you a good idea how to improvise Thatch for the roof? I have at the moment no access to a mat of coconut fibres. Any suggestions?

[guppy]

I Saw a YouTube video of some one using bristles from cheap wide paint brushes (the ones for house paint) might be worth a try

[talonzorch]

Roof finished (found a cocos mat for frostprotection in the garden supplies shed)





Next step will be the completion of the timber frame on the chimney - and then I can begin painting and basining it.

Nice find! and much, much easier than making bunches of bristles and gluing them down
