    Planning on trying to play some more Star Wars Armada this Sunday, after a fairly lengthy dry spell.  I like the game, just haven’t had the time, availability, or space for doing so.  However, thanks to a recent spring purge in the house, one of our rooms is nicely clean and open again.  Toss in…

    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 my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

    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…

    It seems my experiment with Etsy isn’t working out as well as I had hoped – fundamentally I have not sold pretty much anything as of yet.  Perhaps my price point is too high, there is very little interest, I just don’t know what I am doing, or likely, there just isn’t much trust in…

    Today of course marks the Star Wars-geek holiday of May 4th, with the subtle pun on the well known Star Wars phrase.  Being a die-hard Star Wars fan since a young age, I do enjoy all things Star Wars.  However, I have over the last year or two rapidly developed a bit of ambivalence to…
