    Last year, as part of our local tabletop group, we held our first Magic: The Gathering Tournament – a small affair of local players and friends.  It was rather informal, and admittedly almost no one even knew how to play, but we had a good turn out with about 16 players.  Everyone had a great…

    Finally sat down to finish up the 3d scenery for Armada, in preparation for playing the game.  The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well.  For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles.  The space station…

    Continuing with my efforts from yesterday, 3d printing support posts for Star Wars: Armada terrain. I have been batch producing pieces for the support posts.  A typical set of 5 posts takes about 3 hours to print, so thru the day I have finished a couple of batches and have a growing collection of pieces. …

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…

    Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces.  In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones.  May or may not paint…

    I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers.  With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons.  There was a…
