Normally I wouldn’t use a dremel tool on a miniature but in this case where we have large flat surfaces to prep, the tool seems to be the perfect choice. Same process with the ramp which was more forgiving due to a small shelf built in to connect it to the rest fo the base.įor a while I was painstakingly filing away on the struts to remove mold lines on the flats of the support beams. I was afraid that the plates would find themselves stuck to my desk but I kept the base moving around just enough to make sure they behaved. I made sure to be careful to use just enough epoxy to get the job done while holding the platform against a flat surface during curing. More on this later on.įor the base, I used a two part 5 minute epoxy to join the two halves and the ramp. You won’t be worrying about filing away fine detail while you are preparing to paint. The good news is that while the mold lines are prominent they are very obvious and are easy to get to. From here on out there is a lot of sanding and filing.
WORLDWORKSGAMES PAPER TERRAIN FULL
Inside the package you will find a three part base, 5 full struts, and one strut support.Ī small hand sketched instruction sheet shows how it all fits together which took a bit of staring at for me to really get it and be able to dry fit everything in place.
I took my sweet time before putting the whole thing together and slapping a quick paint job on it but I am very happy with the result and am looking forward to using it as an objective in a future game. I’m aware that they had some mold issues and the few that made it to GenCon were lucky to have been available at all.
WORLDWORKSGAMES PAPER TERRAIN UPDATE
I will update this post when I receive confirmation from the folks at IWM. As of the writing of this article I have not heard word that this piece is available for sale. Sold in a clamshell package it costs a mere $25. Here’s to busy schedules and engaging hobbies!įresh from GenCon I brought home a copy of the new and as of yet limited release Iron Wind Metals ‘Mech Repair Bay. Until then, I do have quite the backlog of minis and terrain to paint up. Hopefully I can get back to the convention scene sometime in the near future. I wish I could find these little guys on the IWM website.
They work great on hex maps and are in good scale for a 2 level building.įor painting, I kept it simple with a base of Slaanesh Grey followed by my usual magic wash to set the shadows.Īfter waiting overnight for the wash to set, I gave it a quick coat of sealer (Dullcote) and then gave it a quick dry brush of a mix of the base color and a little bit of white.īoom. Roughly hex-sized, these buildings could be warehouses, parts depot, or something simpler. It has been a while since I last visited GenCon, but the last time I went, I picked up a handful of these small buildings from Iron Wind Metals.
