3D Printed The finished cathedral front

I posted some photos of the resin pour element of this tile the other day and there was a very humbling amount of interest in it.

Thought I'd come back and show you what is the 99% finished article, this will make up 1/8th of the finished board which itself is being made from other parts of the 3D printed cathedral.

I very much took on board the excellent constructive criticism from people about the edge of the water being too green, so I've corrected that since and I think it looks a lot better

I had made these some time ago but today I finally added mud to the edges and they look much better!

Cardboard, coconut fibre, flock and static grass, acrylic mud. Sprayed the grass with green yellow and brown to give them a late summer finish

Part 1

I’ve finished all the brickwork; all that’s left is a bit of decoration – which I haven’t quite decided on yet – some plastering, and a simple gate, most likely a removable one.

WIP Help with MDF warping

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

So as I was working on my Tree bases, I noticed they started to warp slighty. I figured it was due to the fact I left the underside completely untreated and did not seal it.

I have read on severel posts/threads that covering the underside with a PVA coat should reverse or at least prevent further warping. I applied a thin, undilluted PVA coat, as to not add any more unnecessary moisture to the MDF. Now after the coat has dried, I noticed that the warping has gotten even worse !

Is there any way I can salvage this or do from this point on ? What did I do wrong/ what to do better for the future ?

Insert 'Frodo it's over gif'

Took a while but finally finished.

It's a combination of Scratchbuild, some resin bits, old toys, a plastic kit and a lot of AK snow. 😁

Pretty happy with it. I want to use this for a couple of different games and genres, so I tried to keep it pretty generic.

Questions for the Community I've just finished building and painting a full set of 11th edition terrain. Ruins, barricades, etc. I'm trying to think of different ways to add extra detail - rust, graffiti, propaganda, etc. What details, phrases, etc. might you see on a 40k battlefield?

Questions for the Community New to the terrain building part of the hobby, In search of advice

• Upvotes

Hello, as per title I'm kinda a newbie here but I'm planning to build some jungle terrain for Warhammer 40k Kill Team.

Right now I've got some XPS Foam and some Foamed PVC (3 mm) and I'm looking to acquire the rest of the materials in the next month or so (plastic model palm trees, aquarium plants, polystyrene foam glue).

Would it be fine to use as a base for the XPS the PVC or should I buy some MDF?
Which type of dry wall compound would you use on top of the XPS or should I use ak foam texturizer and sealer?
And last but not least as a texture for the terrain, should I mix the dry wall compound with sand and the polystyrene foam glue (or which other glue)?

Thank you for you time!

I had a great time today at the Wargames Illustrated office on Monday, taking editor Dan through a game of CoC on a WIP of my Ardennes table. Had a really brilliant day, and was very happy with the table (which will be my 2027 show table)

Missing the gunner for the moment. Loader is 90% painted. I'm not sure if there's much left to add to the diorama overall.

Will it warp?

2 Upvotes

I'm getting ready to build a board for 1490 doom, and I'm planning to use this as the base:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BGQLZDFZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_16?smid=A16MN3OLPK0LWU&psc=1

I'm planning on covering the surface with an acrylic caulk, sand and paint mixture to create some simple textures that we can add modular towers, walls, etc to when setting up to play.

I've not used a wooden base like this before, and I'm curious if my plan will cause the base to warp. Anyone done anything similar without warping?

Please be nice as it’s my first model anything. Making a dice tower for a friend and found some really great stone rocks made from gypsum. They leave this residue on my hands though. Any idea on how to prevent this? Would covering it in modge lodge help?

This is my first time ever trying something like this. I just wanted to experiment with something new and see what I could create.

I’ve only been working on it for two days, and I’m trying to create my own interpretation of the Berlin Wall.

I know there’s still a lot I can improve, so I’d really appreciate your honest feedback. What do you think so far? Any tips, ideas, or suggestions would be very welcome!
