Well tonight I got some more work done on the walls, they were dry brushed lots and then sand was put on the bases.
These will get some colour variations added then will get a spray with watered down PVA… oh and then I will get some vegetation on there too,.
The following is going to be my Bethlehem scene with Mary, Joseph and ickle wickle baby Jesus…
Still the sand to add, the well is just about visible under the shade of the palm tree.
Sadly I don’t have any 15mm middle eastern civilians, plenty of 10’s but no 15’s.
So onto the conundrum…. drum roll please…..
WaT requires a board to mark everything on, whether a tank is loaded, acquired etc. As I said yesterday I was going to print off the Thingiverse one and here it is…
The hexagonal tokens are the universal tool that shows how far a turret can turn for each appropriate dice. 60 degrees rotation per successful dice. Now Cura, the slicing software, gave a time of 5 hrs 30 minutes to print, it was actually closer to seven. My new roll of PLA hasn’t arrived yet and I reckon I can probably get another one out of the remainder of this roll. This type needs a plasticised sheet behind it so it can have things written on it in the blank boxes, which is again more work.
Option 2 is to simply print out the ones from the book and cover them with the laminator…
Option 3 is to basically use what I have already
The problem with this last option is that I made them double sided…
The only issue would be making sure things didn’t get wiped off and having somewhere for the temporary damage dice to go…
To be honest for ease, I will probably go for option two or three. I also just remembered that I need to make a crib sheet for all of the different attributes.
Today I had to go and get all of my crap out of the crashed car. It did look a bit broken, however when I was there I noticed this…
All of the other tyres were inflated and this one has run on its metal rim. It looks like it had a blow out on the back driver side. Either way the car is totally buggered.
Tomorrow I will carry on with the village, hunt out the palm tree bases and generally crack on with things.
I like the village sdcene that you are working on too.
I’d go with option 2 on the cards- the plastic printed ones look nice but you would have to factor in how much space around the edge of the table that they would take up.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers Pete, I went for option 2 in the end.

Not best placed to comment on the options but the bases are looking very good.

Village and walls look very nice! As far as record sheets are concerned, I usually make simplified ones up on PowerPoint, leave as paper, and recycle them when they’re used! OK, you have to print or copy more, but it depends on how many you want or how you use them I suppose! 🙂

As I have a laminator and dry wipe pens I went down that route with each being A5. I was just going to print twenty odd, but with it being a conference I might have five over the day or forty like last year.
