Designing the samurai dojo

2022-06-19 by David

Here's a quick first look at our latest terrain kit for the samurai collection.... the Samurai Dojo!



▲ This is a multipart kit for a large dojo building, used for training martial artists in a variety of techniques, including kendo (sword fighting), judo and karate, and kyudo (archery).

 

It has sliding screen doos around 3 sides of the dojo, and together with the wrap-around balcony covers almost a square 30cm (12 inches)! We'll be showing off the details of the interior and accessories very shortly, along with the printed model, so watch this space!

Brandon Heath Helms has been slowly assembling this massive castle complex over the last few months, and he was kind enough to set up a huge photoshoot..... complete with multilevel walls and towers, a grand castle and tons of cherry blossom trees and fighters!

 

Enjoy.....

▲ Easily the most realistic castle layout I've ever seen, this is truly a dream board! Well done, Brandon!

Paint rack system for free download

2022-04-08 by David

This is just a little project I've been working on in the past week, because I've been relocating my paint desk to the new studio, and wanted to mount all my paints on the wall.



▲ I have a wide variety to paints, but most are Citadel acrylics or Americana (or DecoArt) acrylics. The former are shorter pots, and the latter are taller pots..... much better value for painting terrain.



▲ I designed two racks, that are just shorter or taller. They all have the same diameter, and can be laid out in various configurations.

 

* For you older gamers out there, do you recognise the "Titillating Pink" colour on the left? It's the oldest pot of paint in my box, and is still usable after about 30 years! Not that I use it much.... because it's pink!





▲ Here's a normal layout, screwed into the wall in neat rows.



▲ And here's the layout I settled on after some messing around. I like this one!





▲ The pots look really good with their bottoms out, and it's very quick to find the colour I want.

 

The paint racks are available on Thingiverse for free download:
