Making a Mountain
Awhile back, I stumbled across a Mel the Terrain Tutor video that shared a technique for using plaster bandages and spackle to make quite decent looking hill terrain. It's a cool technique and I had some leftover packaging that had the potential to become something cool, so I decided to give it a try. I started by cutting out some MDF bases and using a sander to add a simple bevel to the edges. I made sure I had a larger piece of MDF to use with a bit of packaging I had lying around looked […]https://hobbies.deimos-legion.net/2026/08/04/making-a-mountain/

I had a lot of fun scratch building with this one. I even made a little 1-to-2 cable splitter. 😄 The guitar cables are actually small wires which was perfect to use. It gives life to the scene. #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #ScratchBuilding

Progress in my scratch build. I built two full stacks of amps for my Edric base. #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #PaintingMinis #ScratchBuilding

Call me a mechhead 🤷 there's something very cool about stacking toolings to achieve just the right setup on the mill. The primary hull will sit in this setup for many operations. By turning the rotary table, the entire hull turns on its long axis, giving precise radial control
-
Some very manual operations before we can get fully set up to start operations on the primary hull:
-
After a few different operations on the mill with the tilt-table, cargo hull’s rough geometry is pretty much done
-
I'll be hand-building the skip vanes out of Evergreen dimensional styrene extrusions. Here are my plans:
-
The first 3 photos show an aluminum knuckle that will attach to the central spar internal to the main hull to reinforce the attachment of the skip vanes. Because the 3 skip vanes are long & heavy, without this reinforcement they will damage the soft sign foam or droop over time
Last photo is the cargo hull
-
These are the fore and aft cowlings for the main airlock and gravity drive, respectively. After turning the aft cowling on the lathe, I transferred it to the mill where with the help of the rotary table, I added the three radial notches where the skip-vanes will attach

And both ends done, ready for some additional operations on the mill

More work on the main hull piece: (4 photos)

I'll be selling my #books in person in September, so I’m #scratchBuilding a #scaleModel of the hero ship “Common Law” from my 3rd #novel Common Accord

Es geschieht, was seit einem Zeitalter nicht geschah!
Ich schnitze und verklebe mal wieder ein paar Schindeln. XD
So ein kalter Novembernachmittag eignet sich einfach perfekt. Heißen Kakao trinken, einen Tassenkuchen mampfen, ein Let's Play gucken und vor mich hin werkeln. Nachdem meine Wochen momentan so anstrengend sind...
Habt einen schönen Start ins Wochenende.

Momentan ist ja nicht viel los.. Aber eingemummelt sitzen, Zeug streamen und Schindeln schnitzen geht. XD
Da bekommt meine Stabkirche (⬆️ siehe Thread) wohl endlich mal mehr Dach. Es ist schon mehr als die Hälfte, minimal... aber mehr als die Hälfte. XD

Ich bin eine sehr glückliche kleine Sumire gerade!
Wir haben Kartons mit undefinierbarem Plastekleinkram gefunden und ich darfs haben! 🤩
Ich würde jetzt so gerne Bill Making Stuff taggen... 😅

Heute ein paar Dinge für die Bits and Bobs scratch building Schublade ergattert. 😚
Kollegen haben nicht so ganz verstanden, was ich damit will, aber die kennen mich einfach noch nicht gut genug. XD

Ich hab hier übrigens noch einen Glamourshot von meiner inzwischen fertig bemalten Seeschlange für euch.
Die Bühnenbauer der Arena sind zufrieden und machen Feierabend.
Hoffe meine lieben Spieler*innen haben damit Spaß. 😁 Ich hatte ihn beim Basteln jedenfalls. #DSA #pnpDE #terrainbuilding #scratchbuilding #terrain #Piratenrunde

Ein Wochenende Arbeit an meiner kleinen Kampfflotte für die Arena. Die im Finale Stehenden werden gegen eine "Seeschlange" und deren Besatzung anzutreten haben.
Es ist weiterhin viel zu tun, die Farben sind gerademal die Grundfarben. Da fehlen noch alle Akzente. Aber für heute ist Feierabend. 🤪
