Crafty bits..

 So I've been trying to knock out some of the new Laser Cutting projects I have been working on. I've been wanting to make up some Eldar terrain for awhile and as I was working on the vane for my displayboard I figured I'd make a little something up. These are just the first cuts but they came out looking pretty cool. I might add in some runes to give it the Eldar look and I might make a few of differing size, maybe even a broken one. I'll be making a few other Eldar building designs to make an actually landscape .. not just a few pieces here and there. I'm looking to head to the shop on Sunday and will be making a few more pieces for the displayboard and a couple of other cuts I've designed up.

 I've also been working on making up Psi tokens. I figured these will be cool to use as reminders that hey this unit has Guide or this unit is Doomed. I'm also working on making up one for all of the Psi powers in game not just the Eldar powers. I also have standard tokens started like Warp Charges, Vehicle Results, Morale..   things like that. I was waiting for my transparent acrylic to come in so I can make a few other looks..

 I also have a little update on the skimmer bases..  I wanted to make a piece that would work on tanks that have already been built. If you still need to build the tank you can just glue them inside and go right to the bottom of the tank but what if the tank is done and painted? Well that is why I made the magnet holding piece. This way you can attach it and glue the magnets in and only require a little painting. No hassle.

So far I'm pretty happy with the pieces, still a bunch more work to do but they at least happy with what I gotz so farz  8)

(*Disclaimer* I've had a good number of people email about items but I'm sorry to say they are not ready for sale as of yet. We are trying to build up a number of offerings before we sell (if we do)).

Who's got some tape?

 I haven't been completely slacking. . lately I've been working on getting the Hornets moving. And that means lots of tape haha..  they are smaller then the Falcon Chassis which means less space but some of the areas are much tighter.. Sadly I started taping the first one and working on it and forgot to give it the two coats of gloss clear I usually apply and one area lifted when I removed the tape 8( ... so in the above picture the area is tape off for repair.

 I have a bunch in the booth that needs work but at least they are moving along.

 I blended the black first as it doesn't require any tape. Just prime, paint blend.. I went from black to about 30% gray to blend the highlights. After I remembered I cleared them numerous times and started to tape the rest of the bits..

 I also sprayed the under guns for the jetbikes since I had the glue in the brush ...

Hopefully this weekend I get all three of them blended out ..

Arm the laser cannon

 So I worked on this a few weeks ago but haven't really gotten around to posting the pictures of it. I've been working on a few upgrades for the display board for Nova. There were a few things I wanted to make a little better or add a few details.

 I re did the middle and added in a two more portal areas upping it to three. I'll be cutting designs into these to make them look cool. I also have been working on other things to add and started with more step area but then thought maybe a design would be cool to add in. Here are the two different looks..

 I think I'll be going with the symbol design as I think it adds more to it as a whole and it will tie it together.

 The next part of the display is the vane, it was looking too plain and I wanted it to have a little more something. I added the design to the top and went with runes on the bottom. I also wanted them to be lit, I needed to figure out how I wanted to do it and to make it look right. So I made the vain hollow, right now I just jammed the lights into it for the test but the final will be attached vane tie downs insides.

 The hollow cut away.. spaghetti mess..

Here's the first lighting test, I only had purple lights so that's the test. I'll be ordering some more lights for this and more..  I still have more to do and time is ticking. I'm hoping to get on the laser again this week to cut the top deck and work more on some Acrylic which I finally ordered it arrived. So hopefully progress..  8)
