After discussing with friends about making bulk scenery ie walls , bunkers etc for games we play we have decided after looking online to make our own plastic mould vacuuming machine...doesnt look too hard

So hopefully in a couple of months we shall either have some scenery or we have burnt the house down.


Should be interesting though
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Its going to be a homemade machine

Nothing fancy just a box with a vacuum cleaner attached underneath master on top which the heated plastic goes onto . Probably put the plastic in some dort of hinged frame so it always fits over the master without too much handling of hot plastic

Again I am amazed at the inventiveness if not the sanity of forum members.

What sort of thing are you going to try and make?

Count me as an interested external party. One can never have enough bunkers, sandbag emplacements or ruins...

Must be a big vacuum cleaner if it can suck up moulds  :P :P

Yup, that's my coat over there, the white one with the long sleeves.
