Preferably somewhere near the main roads west of Hull.
Among all the work getting our house ready to sell and looking for a new home, it means that most of my projects are put on hold.
I may also have to dispose of some of my toys and books. :(
On the plus side, our new home may have room for a garden railway and or a bigger shed/games room.
Also I have been in discussion with a prominent miniatures producer about reintroducing a
Chris, on the subject of miniatures I think it's worth pointing out 3d printers are now looking at retail entry level units at ~$300.00 u.s. (450 pounds sterling? IDK it's an old rule of thumb needing updating I think) On top of being obtainable there is quite a bit of interesting software apps including My fav a routine allowing My Xbox 360 Kinect motion sensor device to scan objects into 3d print code. With this available I believe models and miniatures can carry much more information now such as movable parts allowing separate facings for movement and fire for example or 7 hex dragons with a bending middle (two 4 hex dragon counters joined at one end via brad w/counters) etc. Just thought it worth the consideration when rethinking mini's as the more info carried by the mini the less bookkeeping and 'splaining pictures with words via rules needs doing... always a good thing IMHO.
ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteI am away off from 3D modelling yet unless it involves cardboard or funky foam!
(My dragons are fairly flexible except, they spring back to shape when you let go)
I have seen some impressive 3D modelling for wargames and/or model railways.
When you mentioned scanning I remembered this chap:

He has scanned people in period clothes to make miniatures for his model.
