SparrowMarie Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I haven't been around a lot lately. I'm having a rough time this year with my mom and dad's birthday. My dad passed almost 7 and 1/2 years ago now. They share the same birthday but were a year apart. I'm really not doing good. Hoping that next month will be a distraction up until Thanksgiving or what ever the eff is going on with that. 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWulfe Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I just realized with how some plans are going right now, I'll be ripping apart my painting areas all over again in short order - probably within a few weeks... But it'll be worth it - more space on the assembly desk, a more than likely airbrushing area, and double the storage for various things.. So I'll be able to separate large, longer term projects and my assembly area 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father died 8 years ago and my mother 10 years ago and I still miss them both 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dean Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I didn’t have much ambition yesterday after returning from Colorado. I got one hobby thing done; I have been letting a roll of magnet sheet relax for a could of weeks, so I cut out the magnetic liners for 3 6-liter Really Useful Boxes, fixed them in place with double-sided carpet tape, and then transferred the 1/72 fantasy bases out of the 4-liter boxes they had been in. Each box can hold about 33 60mm by 40mm bases, so there is now some room for expansion. The 6-liter boxes also nest with the 12-liter box I’ve been using for travel terrain, so they can be neatly strapped together for transport. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganMegan Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I didn't realize how sturdy FDM buildings are for gaming. Played Mordheim last night, and the city was atacked by what were obviously daemon possessed Chaos Kittehs, Thomathy chasing Khatt across the table. But no damage to the ruined buildings, even the one that bounced off the table. Thomathy has been cranky lately. He always is when the heat turns on. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, Duncan Rhodes just put out a tutorial video using exactly this. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. Who is Duncan Rhodes? Not that the ideas aren't obvious, but I've been lining my boxes with magnet sheets for years (as does @Chris Palmer). I went from cardboard to Really Useful Boxes starting sometime in the early Oughts, I think. The only new trick is the carpet tape; actually gluing them with any sort of glue was a chancy and laborious process. (Later) I went and had a look. Obviously, I concur with his techniques, except that I have had a lot of miniatures based on steel washers, so I used magnet sheets and steel figure bases, and he's going the other way, with flexi-steel sheets in the boxes and the magnets on the figures. My wife asked why I did it that way; apart from the legacy steel bases, I always figures it would be easier to redo the boxes than to redo the figures if the magnets weakened over time. Practically speaking, even my older cases haven't lost their pull, so it's probably six of one and a half dozen of the other...

Yeah, the idea of the tape caught my eye because some plastics are just beyond my gluing skills. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
