If it hadn't also been the thought of spending all of my hobby time for an age casting enough bits i'd probably have still gone with it. Having a printer yourself will certainly help.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing what you do, a finished ZM board do look awesome...Rictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639202680240551193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-52980656369721189252016-07-14T05:48:18.486-07:002016-07-14T05:48:18.486-07:00I think that is a fair argument for the FW tiles. ...I think that is a fair argument for the FW tiles. I already own an SLA 3D printer, so this makes good use of it. In terms of silicon, I finally found a silicon that makes really nice molds. without the hassle of getting out my pressure pot. I plan to cast in dental plaster, which is also cheaper than many resins, though I've found quite a few budget resins on Amazon recently. I think I might be so far down the rabbit hole now that cost is no longer a driving issue. Regardless, I am really enjoying the project. If I get far enough along for a table, I'll bring it to the NOVA Open 30K event this year. Don't hold me to that though!John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-46815250597570720222016-07-14T00:24:24.214-07:002016-07-14T00:24:24.214-07:00I was looking to do something similar, even starte...I was looking to do something similar, even started the 3D modelling concept work, however once I priced everything out - 3D prints, rubber, resin etc I found it was actually cheaper to buy the FW tiles instead. Though I was also planning to cast the floor as well as walls.Rictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639202680240551193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-12917100965508295942016-07-12T13:41:02.145-07:002016-07-12T13:41:02.145-07:00FYI, I've got a laser-cut version of a ZM/Spac...FYI, I've got a laser-cut version of a ZM/Space Hulk table that will be for sale in the next few weeks.Eric Falskenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235293359343907299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-81773212669040619422016-07-12T05:55:14.372-07:002016-07-12T05:55:14.372-07:00Looks good to me and I second Greg's advice th...Looks good to me and I second Greg's advice there.

One main suggestion I'd have (and you seem to have done this already), is to keep flat areas so you can glue 30k/40k bits on it after the fact to add detail. That way you can just use the walls to form the structure which you can build on later.greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-26731961187190375962016-07-12T01:20:42.979-07:002016-07-12T01:20:42.979-07:00Really nice idea, 3D printing might well change th...Really nice idea, 3D printing might well change the game of modeling and conversion work once good 3D software becomes more affordable and printers with good resolution are more mainstream.Agishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355576788771116401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-16238213736902078202016-07-12T00:47:44.304-07:002016-07-12T00:47:44.304-07:00I think that's all you need.
