We refuse to take sides in this anymore. And we refuse to let you turn us against one another. We know who we are now, we can find our own way between order and chaos...
It's over because we've decided it's over. Now get the hell out of our galaxy! Both of you.

This past weekend, my lovely and talented girlfriend arranged a trip to the Saugus Iron Works annual Iron Pour, where we got to design our own tiles, and have them cast in iron! Here is a video I culled together, showing the waterworks in action, as well as the pour itself.

If you check the photo album, you'll see a shot of the 'sand' molds we used to create the negative design.

That is totally badass!! Can you cast enough to make a 40k patio, complete with servo-skull BBQ, with enough for a nice path out to the shed?

It is my Birthday tomorrow. Do you know what I have planed?
Bupkiss. One present, no party, not even a card and cake. Feth my life.
Have some spackleoids.
Filler and forms.
Sprayfoam applied to the form.
So, WiP notes:
1) Build a good foam interior. Leave holes, it is okay. The spray foam will expand. That is its JOB.
2) However, if you see large gaps, holes when you apply the foam, fill them.
3) Sprayfoam is like napalm, it sticks to kids. And you. And your table. And... Just make sure you don't mind losing what you're working on. Spread out newspaper, or throw down a disposable cloth.
4) When applying the spackle, use your hands. Just dip into the container, and smoosh it on. The spackle is to fill some remaining gaps you don't like, and give a rough texture which you will apply some sandpaper to. Don't use a putty knife. A putty knife is for smooth surfaces, and you'll just waste half a container, like I did. In addition to being wasteful, you'll just add unneeded weight.
Happy Birthday to me, I guess.

I'm just being a whiner. I have a MASSIVE air aupply...air force? A FETHTON OF DAKKA arriving, AND my Zombicide Kickstarter stuff AND my Reaper Bones Kickstarter stuff AND an aoriginal Cities of Death battlemat... I have a hot, sexy librarian girlfriend, a high-paying job, many friends, and I am well-loved.
Totally whiny. I should be slapped. I can buy my own damn cake.
Yes, I will be sanding, a bit of carving, some other things. Craters. I will also be embedding cityfight parts. You are looking at the BOTTOM of the asteroids, FYI.

Somewhat. If you look at the space station in the new Big Black Rulebook, you'll see how they put Cities of death terrain on the bottom. That's what'll provide the 'stands' and stability. Or, so I hope.
I've always wanted to do something like this, just never had the time, money, or parts. I have to give it to GW, these terrain pieces ARE cool. Oh yes.

I think you need dowel rods or something painted black for support. Happy Birthday bro! At least I hope you get some modelling time!

happy birthday brian... that vid was very cool to see... what will you be using those tiles for now? will they be just heavy decorations on your mantlepiece ?
and by the way... after a certain amount of birthdays... the day itself looses a bit of the drama
thou your probably going with volume.. they make modeling paste that is flexable. This sometimes is useful if your going to be transporting your display around.

How high off the ground is the base of the spackloid going to be once the buildings are in place?
Not very high. Otherwise, you couldn't use it as a playable surface. I'm aiming for 6" or less.
