Run Out of Spools? Make More.
I was really liking the circular aesthetic of the two spools I had already assembled but I still hadn’t uncovered where I stored away the third one I own. I decided to use some of these big, thick cylinders (from industrial toilet paper rolls), foam circles, and wood discs to make some more. I started by wrapping the cardboard cylinder in thick paper using white glue. This was to cover the spiral of the cardboard. I used the foam circles to add a little height as well as break up the surface a little. I like that they are the same height so may try and make a few more to match though I went too complex with the top of one of them. Keep the tops far simpler in future.
The galleries show the pieces just before primer is sprayed on them.
I used a hot glue gun to attach a foam circle to the wooden one.
I followed this with the cylinder and the second wooden circle.
Here they are, ready for decorating, with a space marine for scale
Using hot glue and super glue, depending on the materials, I began adding bits and pieces.
My goal is to create pieces that are interesting both visually and in game.
