You could also use scion bodies and skitari heads
far cheaper than trying to get a ton of forgeworld ones.

Time to start another weekend as the worlds worst caster
not only did I not have enough silicone for one entire mold I was also short on the other. I tried to patch with hot glue...

The pacifier is there for when you break a cast and then can legitimately 'Spit the Dummy'?

Ha, no. That's what the glass of scotch off camera is for.
Kirkee came over and gave me an extra pair of hands ( ie took over) and helped me get the landing tower and factory secured to the board.
Nice to finally see them back where they belong

Well it's a very awe inspiring project even through the build phase! I'm still having trouble getting my head around the scale and how it all joins together for gaming movement? how are you painting it up?

Got some work done on what will be used as the courtyards tonight. Thin dollar stor foam board, back peels off, then rolled with the green stuff world cobblestone roller and finally coated with a thin brushing of elmers glue.

Yeah. It's still not as hard as I would like. Was hoping paint would help make it scrach and dent less easily but last time it streaked a lot when I painted it by brush.
I need to find that spray paint that doesn't melt styrofoam. I think it's called "acrylic latex spray paint"

Has anyone used this?

I know it might seem slow to everybody else but I'm doing a lot every day.
Today I glued down a bunch of the cobblestone ground level areas
Small Arches came out ok
But the area in between the factory and another building stumped me. I suck at geometry
I also glue down part of a walkway and put in a small ground level bridge

Your workspace is bigger than my home. That gaming board alone would not fit my home.
So question is; will you make a building for me to live in?! Small condo by the canal, thank you.

Interesting observation llgoth
I was just thinking about how this diorama is going to end up costing more than a home addition. Maybe we could work something out

Okay. Does it matter if I leave manholes on the bridge or do I really have to make sections without those?

Doesn't matter.
call them access holes for underneath pipes or something.

I second this. Either have them be access points or drainage holes.

Working on the other areas where the roads crossover the courtyard. What looks better putting the cast of the arches on both sides and having them look like pillars OR the old way I did it with styrofoam between?
A) pillars
B) tunnels

Tunnels it is. WAY easier for me anyhow
Also did some work on the canal walls. I cut out some bricks and glued them on top of others to add some dimension
Finally got some help too
Part of the same pattern will be used on top of some open wall areas areas to add depth to those as well

The walls are the same as the courtyards. Dollartree foamboard with the paper backing peeled off.
Here's some of it glued onto the canal sides

Like the Nemesis dreadknight cosplay suit you have going there  . Looks like the pilot failed a warp test and may begin drooling though .
Board coming along nicely, will there be water effects in the canal or just open space?
