Game table update

I have added the bottom shelf, and taken pictures of it with the green grass felt, and models on it.  All the models in it is my entire painted high elf army. Next step will be to add drawers, but for now this is it.

For the bottom section, it is a simple frame and screws, nothing fancy, but I used chalk lines to place holes. Overall this table construction technique is between furniture and building frames for houses.

Trim and other pieces along with the drawers will be added later, but the top is fully finished, sanded and covered in a clear coat.




Fulcrum for Storms of Magic

The Oak Park GW store had a fulcrum contest. Bring in a built and painted fulcrum using terrain kits. I won with this one, built out of the dreadfire portal and eternity stairs kit and the dreadstone blight kit. The piece itself is bigger than the witch Tor tower. This one i used no pins, just the magic of glue to hold it together, though one of the platforms never touches the center pillar, and it's surprising it is even staying up for how much transportation it has gotten already.




Better pictures to come later.


So for winning, a duplicate one is going to be at the store (which I get to rebuild it), with my name on it saying designed by me.

Shoulder pads

I have I finally finished the shoulder pads, though one looks much better than the other. These are finished just in time for games day, so hopefully a full farseer will be coming. I tried a different fiberglass company for the epoxy, and it worked out soo much faster for hardening time frame.

Game Table

I am building a 4x6 inside game table for furniture class.  It has a 4" recessed area for playing, 4x6 inside area for games. There is a lip so table leaves can be added to make the table flat and cover up the game underneath for later use. The second shelf will eventually have drawers added to it. There will also be under the table storage space, to hold my architecture and taj mahal models, as well as a small place for books. The lip of the table is over 3" big, allowing glasses, and comfortable arm rest area available while playing at the table. More pictures will be added later, hopefully once it is done for furniture class, and then again for the final.


LEGO Waterfall

So here are pictures of the waterfall. The raft version was shown at Brickworld 2011 and with lights was during the world of lights and sounds on Saturday night at Brickworld. We ran a train through it during Brickworld, in the middle of a bigger display with my mom and I.
