Well done lads!
superb work, I can’t wait to see how it all turns out 🙂
Must bring Rum down to bribe a game on it some week.
PS is there any flock left in my can? 😀
Maybe, that’s all I’m going to say lol
Great video, thanks.
That’s great and to play any system across that table would be a joy 😀 .
Great project, and full good ideas!
Looking forward to seeing the end product.
Great T-Shirt John!
great work on all the scenery its looking fabulous.
Those bridges look great!
Nice tip for the flocking work too, I’ll have to give it a go.
I would use hot glue because is bit more flexible for bridge. but anwyays great idea.
I was going to use it until I discovered the last stick was used on another project!
I really enjoy this particular vlog. I’m the scenery builder in my group and the ol’ synapses are fring over ideas. I’ve already made some smaller rocky outcrops using car wash sponges and hills using the same foam as you. Excellent tip for the flocking I hadn’t thought of that.
My god it’s looking superb! Can’t wait to see it finished. Great job team.
Quick suggestion. Put a small thin plastic disk on the base of the post and hide it with some grass tufts and rocks…and put a 1cm-2cm pin/wire in the bottom of the post and you can anchor it into the foam and remove it with very little visible damage to the surface.
Great stuff, look forward to seeing the Blood and Plunder stuff – might push me to paint them
Gonna be great seeing games on this table. It’s really beginning to look awesome
Where have you been? Can’t believe I had to survive a whole weekend with no updates on this! I have had the withdrawal shakes and everything!
Awesome series. Projects like this are one of the main reasons I pay my Backstage subscription.
Really enjoying seeing this “Pirate Gaming Table” coming together, will have to look into getting some of that blue foam. The two rope bridges look great, i`ve always wanted to do a rope bridge over a deep canyon and now i know how to it. I`ve had ideas on how to do it in the past, but none of them seemed to be right for the task. Like the caves, and the use of the of the T-Lights to light them up on the inside. Now all`s you need to do, is put some crates and the odd chest just… Read more »
I like the sand and flock technique for the foam. The bridges also look nice. But if the strings are meant to be handrails aren’t they a bit too high up. It was hard to compare to the height of a miniature.
For the straight bridge I think some upright skewers with coffee stirrer planks against them would also look good. Even more interesting if you make them crooked with some gaps here and there.
Any chance you guys remembered where those palm trees came from? Could we get a link? Please, oh please!?!?
