Space Hulk 3D (Competition Version)
Space Hulk 3D (Competition Version)
Only three more outstanding pieces to go.
For a long time I had been wondering how to allow boarding torpedoes to enter the 4 tiered game board on any level. The Space Hulk ‘Official’ torpedoes are a neat addition to the tile set but I needed something more – something 3D.
Based upon my original (decades ago) finding that the foamboard was light enough and strong enough to support the three tiers and the minis I decided to go ahead with something that had been percolating in the back of my mind.
The following will show you the few – arts and crafts steps that it took to get me three, 3D boarding torpedoes.
Single piece of foamboard - already marked out for the sides of the boarding torpedoes
Pieces cut - note the inserts for sliding into the raised floors.
Hole cutting in the torp. sides
Torp. tray with supports hot glued into place.
More pieces hot glued into place
Basic Torpedo assembled - missing something though!
Teeth!! - helps torpedo cut into enemy ships - and strengthen the top 'jaws' of the torp.
Grey and black Spray paint - they help.
Danger Tape - always makes things more ...... dangerous (LOL)! Put on cutting board and then cut to fit.
First piece of tape applied - do it six times and.......
Viola.
