• Cork Walls

    Playing around with cork sheet and came up with a nice fast way to make damaged or broken brickwork.So thought I would do a article about it for fun.First cut strips from a cork sheet the samples below are around 60mm x 25mm but you do not have to be really perfect about the strips being all the same size..Next decide how tall you want your wall to be then glue all but the top most strip with pva glue on one side, making sure you cover the hole face of the cork.Next stack the cork strips on top of each other, glue side up, and with the last strip (not glued) finishing the wall hight.Now with the glued stack of cork place this in to a vice and leave till the glue has set.  Next take the glued block and run a cut down one or 2 sides about 2 or 3 mm deep.Then prise open the cut with your fingers and rip it slowly from the block..The part just pulled off the glued block of cork is now a wall.The cut into the cork makes smooth undamaged bricks while the part that has been pulled off makes the damaged/crumbling rock.Repeat the cut and pull along the rest of the block and once done you now have a number of broken walls or placed flat a wall that has fell down.All that now needs to be done is put your wall onto a base a slap some paint on it.The smooth part of the wall needs lines painted onto it to out line the bricks.

      Great idea expanding on the cork rock idea, it would be probally pretty easy to build up even higher in a ruined arch or other larger pieces of scenery.

      Nice and simple - but quite thick - more breezeblocks than regular bricks, but the cork'd be good just stood vertically for that - nice tute

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    This is an article about what I did, in the hope that some of it may be useful to you, but it's not an article meant to tell you what to do. It's meant as an encouragement for you to think logically about problem solving, and to think sensibly through a project to end up with something that serves your needs well, but has not cost you a fortune in money or time. The aim is to get the job done, and then get back to your painting and gaming. The project here is to build a box for paints and equipment, but most of its principles will be equally applicable to any other project in wood, such as gaming tables and scenery.

    Throughout the article I'll use the format of picture first, followed... read more

    First Article- Simple Basing

    So I was working on the base for my trollblood guy and I though I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to bring you guys our first article on basing. I was going for a pretty simple base with a bit of a marshy feel. So lets get to the fun stuff! Ok so to start off I made a mass of milliput in the rough shape of a rock. At this point you can't really make it look... read more
