I used 3mm thumb nuts drilled out to fit 3mm acrylic rods. I used a number of 3d printed jigs for cutting the rods, assembly of the stands and gluing the magnets. If I remember later I’ll attached some pictures of the jigs/stands
I’ve been looking for a control tower for air bases. Good luck with your molds! Hope that comes out well.
Thanks! Ill be sure to post them, as well as offer them if anyone would be interested. I moved here (CA) from WA awhile back, I knew where to get all that casting stuff, ive looked here, cant seem to find anywhere locally… ordering online is murder, shipping jugs of liquid… in addition, not sure what im getting. I may end up using fiberglass resin, something this small, should be fine… just takes long to cure and I gotta make a grip, unlike the casting resins, takes like 30 seconds.
Everyone has their own unique way of painting the pieces. No matter how we paint the pieces they must still be playable within the game.
And the nice difference between game sculpts and real military equipment is that sculpts are rarely lost or damaged in combat. If that wasn’t the case, people might actually hesitate to risk sending their painted sculpts into battle on the game map, given the large amount of time they’ve spent on customizing them. :-)
After building my AA50 table and a portable wargaming table, I think I’m tabled out (and let’s face it, I just don’t have any more room for tables in my already cramped household) but I did love making them.
After painting my entire AA50th set + a Spring 1942 set of pieces, I’d be more than willing to do more if the need arose.
Right now I’m more into Wargaming terrain and miniatures though. There’s enough there to keep me pretty busy!
