A friend of mine recent got some Hirstart castlemolds to cast blocks to make some miniature terrain for a game he is running. Unfortunately, due to the size of the game table he was looking at a weeks of casting time to make enough dungeon floor tiles to cover the board.
So I decide to see if I could carve up something.
I made up some cobbles stone and brick patterns and v carved them in 1/4" MDF. after a bit of tweaking I am really happy with how they turned out.
A quick and satisfying project and it will save my friend a tone of time and effort.
(we did the math it takes 5 hours to cast enough bricks for each 8" floor tile)
At the risk of being scolded are the files something you’d be willing to share? My 1 year old was looking for something similar and I hadn’t had time yet to mock something up…
Looks great! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar for a long time.
While the HA molds are their own sort of fun, this should help you cover ground more quickly. It should add some good durability to the ground level, and keep weight down too.
I have 3d model files that would work out great for that.
Also I can create stuff like that in PS and transfer it to 3d or just use it directly with my other tools I use for svg.
Thanks for sharing.
The scolding needs to stop. Share or don’t share, but asking is not a problem. Don’t let those responses get you down. In general, the maker community is all about sharing information, tips, and often the work itself.
