Rain, rain, go away

I haven't forgotten about posting WIP pics. Progress on the table has stalled because it will simply NOT. STOP. RAINING.

Some movement

The ebay auctions are done. I've got about $250 to spend on the in-screen table construction. The power tools have arrived as well.

I also ordered a LED photo tent so I can take some better pictures of minis if and when I finish any! Maybe I will try it out on the bugbear I finished at the painting club.

eBay funding a new project.

Long time, no post!

I haven't painted a lot recently. Frankly, part of it is my eyesight. I have had a harder time seeing the details up close. So a trip to the eye doctor is scheduled for later this week and I will likely get new spectacles.

There is a project that I wish to do as well. In fact, it's one of the reasons I am eBaying a bunch of Bones minis.

A while back, I posted about an LED screen tabletop frame I built for minis and maps. I have wanted to upgrade this to a new gaming table with the screen flush and embedded in the surface. You can see an example of this kind of table in this video. I probably won't make this exact configuration, but it's the same idea.

My hope is to make enough scratch to buy the materials and maybe even upgrade a few power tools I could use for the project. The auctions end over Easter weekend, so even if I make enough cash for everything I probably will not actually get to buy stuff and/or work on the table until at least the following weekend.

Not a mini, but more tabletop fun

I put this bad boy together this weekend in a frenzy of project madness. It's a 32" LED HDTV set horizontally in a wooden frame (basically 2x4s) and covered with plexiglass. There is a Chromebox PC with wifi hooked to the back with a wireless keyboard and mouse. The system can then log into Roll20 and display the player's view of the dungeon map, etc. The GM runs the session maps from a laptop. Physical minis/tokens can then be placed on the plexiglass and moved about without scratching the screen.
