Over the last month i've been working on some Dwarfs I got with skull-pass last year and the odd Dwarf I had laying around. The idea behind this army is that I wanted to do a cheap small army for things like Doubles tournaments.
The only unit I've completed so far, is the Thunderers.
Normally for movement trays I use the Games-Workshop's ones. But keeping with the cheap theme, I made them!
I've got lots of cork flooring tiles (that's the material picked), so I marked out the tray's I wanted, leaving a 1cm lip round the edge.
Cut out. Cork is really easy to cut and bendy! (but we will forget about that for this tutorial).
Then I added a shed load of filler round the edge.
Then I flocked, forgot to photograph and painted.
And there you go, my quick guide to making movement trays.
Looks good! I tried to do something similar but I grew tired of the thick trays. I found they needed some support underneath to keep from breaking.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! If you're ever looking for something a little more sturdy but just as easy to cut. Try Balsa plywood. Most craft/hobby shops sell it. I might get a how to up of how I did mine soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool idea - cheers for posting it
