Thanks Guys!.

I've posted the finalized 3D models for the sub units of what will be my own take on Zone mortalis to shapeways. they are intended as blank canvas in a way to build up from.

Chugging along

Pics of progress. Some have already been posted on the facebook page for my biz.














and the first 3d print of a prototype for my Zone Mortalis compatible project

Looks great so far! And by "3D print" do you mean you used a rapid-prototyper or 3D printing machine?

Had it printed on a makerbot 3d printer. (Extruded filiment type)

Same tech basis as the rapid prototyper.

Nice! How thick is that?

the total thickness for wall/door modules will be 3/4 in. on a 2" by 2" tile.

for the metric folks thats apx 19mm thick, on a tile that is roughly 51mm by 51mm (actually 50.8mm x 50.8mm)

I've gotten all the prototypes printed up for the basic "fw" esque style tiled layouts. I'll be getting Pictures up tonight, also I'll be starting the build for a centerpiece for a Warmahordes table at templecon.

When is templecon, and where , I've been out of the scene a long time.

Pics of some NEW THINGS!

I've just got the 3d Printed prototypes for the base modules of my ZM equivalent project in. they are yet to be detailed, but they are awesome. Yes the two tile wide door is movable, and removable.

Also I've made some building brick molds to create a masonry tower for a project at templecon.

On to the Pics

Base components.
1 blank tile to be used as a blank to have different textures in the middle.
1 Tile to be used under doorways.
1 1 tile wide door (not movable)
1 2 tile wide door (movable and removable... super awesome)
1 base wall unit
1 base hub unit.
1 Buttress unit that slots into the wall tile.

closeup of how the wall and hub will interlock


untrimmed molds for building blocks for the templecon project




the rest of a base line in progress to finish up a line started as a comissioned work.

All looking very nice. Looking forward to the added details.

It's also nice to see that your workspace looks as messy as mine did while I was moulding and casting. Those bits of silicone get everywhere...

yes yes they do...

HAH!

I /KNEW/ those were yours, when I saw them!

Fantastic stuff man! That zm stuff is going to kick ass once you get the casting machine rolling! I think this will be your own personal Sgt. Pepper as far as sales go too!

You probably wrote this somewhere but what size are your ZM floor tiles, could you fit 40 or 60mm base on them?

2" by 2", or 50.8mm x 50.8mm

a 40mm will fit with room to spare, a 60mm would not, at least not on a single tile. most corridors in a standard ZM set up are two tiles wide though.

Pics of the centerpiece for templecon in progress.

I really like the faces and decorative bitz!

Galorn those doors are awesome! love how they look :-) so much potential, can't wait to see them available!

Great looking diplayboard , but I prefer it with the rubber bands in place like some orcs trying to deface the structure.

dsteingass wrote:I really like the faces and decorative bitz!

Thanks they came out rather well. "Firm" sculpey has a similar consistency (until it's baked) to GS

Probably not for a week or so.

This is gonna be cool!

Looking good.

That is the intent.

yep.


On to PICS!

I've started to add the Vines in to wall segment areas that are "complete" enough to do so. The walls will be getting fastened down but are currently movable to allow for easier painting.

Coming go ether nicely, I hadn't noticed the over rock around the base of he center statue, nice touch

Nice vines.

If you want some inspiration to help with that, I have a picture in my "inspiration" gallery:

Sometimes the skinks use the blowpipe for some other form of tranquilizer

Excellent progress on the centerpiece.
