@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.
Game table & War room pics from SS

Yes both tables will be the same.
I’ll try to get bigger pics. My camera doesn’t work.

I noticed it’s Global War 39 you’re playing… why not use the 2nd table for the new Global War 2nd edition expansion?
-
I will. I have 2 other 39 games too. That 2nd table will be used for play testing, any of the other 2 games, or for 36 map coming soon. I would like 3 tables. But got to decide on puttin tv’s and chairs in 3rd game space. Naw, lets build the 3rd one!!! Ha Ha :-D
Will see.
-
Looks very nice indeed – looking forward to larger pics so that we can admire the setup in more detail!

Here’s another pic of SS war room.

That is a sweet setup, SS! Thanks YG, for showing that. :-)

Thanks YG. Thanks John Brown. Thanks to HBG, all the people that posted pics of there tables to use as ideas and the guy for the website for the bambo containers.
Table 2 will be done soon. Will post better pics hopefully.
-
SS this looks great.
TVs, chairs etc is the way to go. When I have people over for the game, we generally play the Battlefield documentary series in the background on a big wall mounted TV. It adds to the atmosphere for sure. I put up some halogen spot lights which provide really decent lighting. Eventually (when the kids move out…if ever :roll:) it will be the permanent war room.

Heres a better pic.

Heres a better pic.
Yes, that is a great looking table. Great job SS! :-D
-
Ah, excellent – this gives a much better view. Lots of compartments around the table, which is a very handy feature. I like the side-wings too, which is an element that my (much less sophisticated) gaming table likewise has. Great setup you have!

Pic of Europe setup with Germany ready to buy.

This is the dice box with battle boards. Could change down the road.

These are the magnetic charts for victory citys and icp’s. Thanks Maddog for this idea!
Thanks CWO.
-
Love the magnetic charts! Totally awesome! Glad it all came together. May you enjoy many hours of entertainment in your game room. Nice man, that is sweet! :-D
-
Love the magnetic charts! Totally awesome!
Yes indeed – and I especially like the VC chart, which is a great concept.
-
We played a test game on new table. It was awesome. Could walk around both ends and everything was right there in front of you. The 2 money compartments on both sides of table worked great.
Pic is of money compartments.
Pics of table 2 soon. If I can get off this table from playing. :-D :-D :-D
-
SS, I’m happy for you. it looks like a fun table to play on. :-D
-
Really nice pic SS, now there’s no limit to the customizations that you can share with us… Cheers.

Here is a pic of 2nd table starting to be built.
