We have LOADS of photos for this week's progress report! Following on from the previous work, the basic shape of the board was soon finished, so it was on to the spray painting. This was done in two tones of matt spray paint - cream and ivory. This neatly covered the various materials, so the board looked nicely uniform.
やっと！ボードの形が大体できていますので、ペイントが始まった！まずは、クリーム色とアイボリー色のスプレーを使いました。これで階段と壁のところが一色になりました。
The close up shot below shows the step and circular wall area, which came out pretty well. How did I get that texture, you may ask...
階段と壁は綺麗にできていますね。どうしてでしょう。。。
My secret weapon in this was a wonderful texture spray paint I found at my local Nafco DIY store. This spray (nominally sand coloured) fires out tiny particles of plastic along with the paint, which gives a really uniform textured finish. I used this on any area of the board that was made of card or smooth foam, prior to spraying with the cream/ivory combo.
ナフコで見つけたのはこれでした。凸凹入りのスプレーペイントです。カードでできている部分をペイントする前にこれでスプレーしました。建物にも絶対使う！
A light drybrush with offwhite acrylic (with a 2" wide brush), and the painting of the board's stone areas was complete. Next was the painting of the water areas, for which I used a dark blue cheap tube I found in a box. Some rough and ready wave patterns were painted on, followed by a good coat of gloss finish craft paint. The colour balance looks good so far...
次のステップは海のペイントでした。波の柄も一応ペイントしましたが、上手にできていない。船や電灯で見えなくなるので、別にいいかな？その上に艶ありクリアペイントも塗りました。
See? - most of the water will be obscured by the big ships anyway. So now we have a finished basic board and a finished boat, and the next stage will be the lighthouse. However, a club gaming day is due this weekend, and the board gets its first unveiling....
電灯を作成したいけど、その前にクラブのイベントがありますので未完成のボードがデビューします。。。
Here's a quick shot of a skirmish game taking place on the high elf port board. With a few basic buildings and decorations, it looks great and was excellent fun to play across.
クラブ日では何回もこのボードを使いました。いい雰囲気でしょう？
Right, on with the lighthouse. This is a cheap wine carafe from Ikea, planted inside a wide section of plastic piping. The shot below gives you some idea of the scale of the planned lighthouse.
電灯作成を始まります。安く買えたワインボトルをグッデイで買ったパイプに入れました。結構大きいですよね。
Stage 2 of the build saw the second level of foam fitted inside the pipe, which brings it up to the same level as the rest of the dock area. The cut-away area of the pipe will be the gateway through with the small foot bridge will run.
ベースをフォームで高く作りました。照明はボトルの上に載せますので、揺れないプラットフォームも入れました。
After some fiddling around with foam and balsa wood, I had three tall windows and a door added, so it was down to the garage for spraying! Again I used the same texture spray paint and then the cream-ivory sprays as for the main board.
フォームと木材で窓とドアを作りました。そして、ボードと同じように凸凹スプレーでペイントを塗りました。
I found this tall teardrop-shaped acrylic gem in a local craft store, so I have hidden a small light underneath the plinth to make it glow at night. The whole part will be enclosed in a small acrylic make-up jar, which screws into the base.
クラフトショップでこのアクリル製ダイヤモンドを見つけました。結構透明ですので、その下に小さい照明を入れました。その回りにメイク用の丸い箱をつけます。
... and here is the finished Elven Lighthouse:
ハイエルフ港の電灯は完成です：
Here's close-up of the door area, which has a few add-ons from the bits box. The 40K ornaments make pretty good lights, once they have had their rivets cut off.
ビッツボックスはやっぱり便利ですね。特に、40K用のパーツは似合うよね。
Here's the finished lighthouse top, with a cone-shaped roof that was very time-consuming to build. I don't want to do that again! :)
電灯の照明はこんな感じになりました。ハイエルフっぽいかな？
Finally, a couple of shots of the the board as it now looks. Three out of the four bridges are now done, which allows us to play various sizes of games across the board.
港ボードは只今こんな状態です。橋いっぱいありますので普通のゲームでも使えるかもしれません。
One more quick shot of some bench accessories I made up, using more items I found cheaply at my local craftshop. These got the same textured spray paint as the rest of the board. Quick and easy!
公園のために２個のベンチも作りました。またクラフトショップは役に立ちましたね。
And completely unrelated, here's a photo of a great (and crowded) four player game we tried out at last time's event. Each player has 100pts of troops, starting in a different corner of the pub. Goodness knows why they are all fighting in a pub, but it was great fun! Needless to say, my Bloody Slayers (bottom right) were far too drunk to put up much of a fight, and mostly got taken down by giant rats!!
ボードには全く関係ないけど、この前のイベントでやったゲームを見せたかった。いかがでしょうか？ファンタシー本にありそうな「パブ・ファイト」でした。楽しかったけど、もちろん負けました。残念。
