In the Desert, the Line Between Life and Death is Sharp and Quick…..

I’ve been 3d printing up a storm.  One project was a desert table for a big Bolt action event we did at Midgard Comics and Games in Derry, NH USA.  

Check out the process below

 
 
The first few buildings painted up.  They had been sitting on the painting table for a while.  But glad to put prints to some good use
 
 
The start of the scatter terrain.  This was lava rocks glued to old cd’s
 
 
Some desert walls fresh off the 3d printer.
 
 
Rocks coming along.  I ended up having to glue a second cd to them as the first one was too flimsy
 
 
Base coat on the walls.  
 
 
Finished walls
 
 
Finishing up the palm trees.  Cheep ones off amazon but with bases and flock and a little paint look great.
 
 
Every Town needs a well.
 
 
BOOOOOO.  I hate misprints.  I decided to re purpose them into ruins.  This happens when the 3d filament does not stick to the bed.
 
 
Started painting the mosque.
 
 
CURSE YOU POWER OUTAGE!!!!  Oh well this is going to get Spackle’d and used anyway.  1 story instead of 2
 
 
Cut apart for ruins  I was happy with the results
 
 
The well is coming along.  The resin for some reason had a lot of bubbles so I need to put a bucket or something in there.
 
 
Ruins coming along nicely
 
 
Another building on the way!
 
 
Finishing up the ruins
 
 
Bucket for the well!  3d printers rock.  I need a part I print it 🙂
 
 
The table set up.  looks great
 
 
So I was told the mosque needed to be a very bright blue so My buddy Don grabbed it and painted it before the game.  looks great!
 
 
The french start their advance into the town!
 
 
More french
 
 
Legion leads the way!
 
 
The game in full swing.
