Well, I got distracted and haven't done anything with them yet. The distractions have, however, been productive.
Infamy, Infamy! Tokens and Chips
I spent the past couple of days painting and varnishing (both sides) these tokens and poker chips.
Multiverse Gaming VersaTiles
In between doing other things on Thursday and Friday I assembled the VersaTiles and connectors. Each tiles is 30cm x 30cm and has a recessed frame underneath - the recess allows it to slot into "foundation" frames which create elevations (they also make half-height "terraces" for partial elevations).
 |
| Connectors - enough for a 3' x 3' layout; I'll need to get an extra pack |
 |
| Crossroads - there are two in the stack |
 |
| T-Junction - two of these in the stack |
 |
| Straight roads - all three from the stack |
 |
| "Plaza" tiles - I have six of these. |
Prep and Priming
I also decided to prep a few more bits of MDF terrain. I prepped and assembled some vending machines yesterday. They got primed along with some bits which I had assembled a few weeks ago.
This morning I did an initial priming on the sprue of the parts for TT Combat's "Arcade" building, then extracted all the bits, sanded down the tags, did a dry-fit to work out which bits might need to be re-primed and assembled a few bits where it made sense to do so. I then did the re-priming where needed. Tomorrow I'll be putting down base colours with the airbrush before completing the assembly.
Who knows - maybe I'll even get to start work on painting those bits that I was meant to start painting on Thursday!
Even though you haven't painted the bits you said Tamsin, you have been very productive none the less
ReplyDeletePrep and Priming is a very important part of the painting process...I am so looking forward to seeing what you do with these!
ReplyDeleteDitto - also looking forward to seeing how they turn out - looking good so far. Cheers Greg
ReplyDelete@ Dave Stone - cheers! :)
ReplyDelete@ Herkybird - they are important; without those steps I wouldn't have anything to paint...*looks at drawers full of stuff that's already primed*... ;)
@ Greg - thanks! :)
I’ll be watching the MDF tiles with interest as I have some base coated and washed and I’d like to see/copy shamelessly the techniques you use :)
ReplyDeleteIt may be a while before I get around to doing the tiles - it will need a dry day when I manage to get up early enough to drag everything down to the back garden before other people start using it.
