Tabletop gaming is an interesting area of model making. Many of the techniques from model railroading have taken root in this genre. What is tabletop gaming modeling? It's the creation of miniature models for games like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, . The inclusion of models enhances game play and makes the fantasy world of these games more immersive. You can see from the enthusiasm of the community that this style of model making is very much alive and well.
I particularly like that it's a model genre that yields impressive results with a minimum number of tools and supplies. Much of the raw stock for these kinds of models is junk or cast-off pieces. We will see some interesting examples later on.
To start out with, I would like to share a few articles that I think would explore this type of model making in more detail.
We are going to follow Black Magic Craft's tutorial and make some interesting walls. I will be providing you with the foam and paint that you need to make these walls. To get familiar, watch the video to see the steps: Instead of using chipboard for the supports, we are going to use scrap cardboard. So, that's your first challenge for today. Look around and see if you can find some scrap cardboard that you can use for this project. Make sure that it's relatively clean (no pizza boxes or things that might be greasy) and not a box that someone is using for something. Carefully cut this scrap into rectangle sizes. 8 inches by 10 inches would be good. Be carful if you are cutting this material. It's easy to loose control of the scissors or knife. Post in the chat your pile of cardboard scrap to prove that you are ready to make some walls!
I don't know if you have ever heard of these, but I think that book nooks are really cool and an excellent way to do dioramas without devoting a ton of space to them.
Today we are going to continue working on all the projects listed on Teams and on this website. If you are going to pick up Kit #2 in the bookstore, please make sure that you filled out the permission slip before you go. You can find that form in the Files sections of Teams. Have a great weekend!
