STOELZEL'S CD DISPLAY BASE SHENANIGANS.

Before we crack on, I've got to drag the welcome wagon back out of the storage shed, to welcome my latest followers. So a big BZA welcome goes out to minigrafter. WELCOME MINIGRAFTER! Another big BZA welcome goes out to Steve H. WELCOME STEVE H! If you guys have blogs, let me know.

More adventures in card modelling again this time. To further my skills and experience I decided to try Stoelzel's Structures CD display. This was another step up the skills ladder as it involved foam board and some of the techniques required to use this material. It was also a free download from Wargame Vault.

REMEMBER TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!

After reading the instructions several times I dived in. This was my first time rabbeting, who knew foamboard was so much fun. As well as trying to improve my card/foamboard modelling skills, I was building the display base to photograph my finished survivors on, when they are eventually  finished.

I TOOK THIS ONE (IT'S OUT OF FOCUS) THE WHITE BITS ARE RABBETS.

OK, because I read the instructions the build went very smoothly indeed, even though there were new skills involved, like rabbeting and matching up printouts on both sides of the same piece of foamboard. REMEMBER KIDS ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

REVERSE OF THE DOUBLE SIDED PIECES. AGAIN THE WHITE BITS ARE RABBETS.

Unfortunately due to my eagerness and my official photographer's bone idleness, pictures were not taken during the construction. Luckily with lots of badgering, shouting, attempted bribery and swearing I eventually managed to get my official photographer to do his job and take a few shots of the finished piece.

SHOT OF THE BACK. POOR PAINT TOUCH UP THOUGH.

In other news, I got my very own printer for my birthday. Now I don't have to wait on other people to print out my card model templates and textures. WOOO HOOOO! So you can expect more scenery reports really soon.

SHOT OF THE FRONT. WHERE THE FIGURES WILL GO.

I really enjoyed building this piece, and because I read the instructions it all went together beautifully. I can now display my finished survivors in a suitable setting to be photographed.

Well, that's all I've got for this time dudes and dudettes. So until next time follow the DUDE'S example and "take it easy".
