sibomots Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 When I saw the pictures of the Black Templar Keep in the BT::Codex (which is no longer relevant exactly given the current rules), I was inspired to build my own. I am planning to build the whole layout -- the keep, rock wall fortress, front-"lawn", etc.. I have the table built (5' x 10') and have started the Keep first. Below are links (a link) to the channel where I will post all the videos of construction. My Micro-SD card has several dozen video clips, but I wanted to share just one clip of the Work In Progress. More clips will be added as soon as I can video-edit them into something coherent. [EDIT: I screwed up and left the radio on while recording. So YouTube sent one of those nice letters. Reposting w/o music] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkkUT4D2Bdebmd6oGT7-_g The video posted (so far) is in the MIDDLE of the process. I'll be sure to book-end the process with the preparation and continue to document carefully with the camera. I'm in the process of finishing the structure just prior to priming the surface. I haven't had time yet to do voice-over comments in the video - but I will make sure to do that when I edit the rest of the dozens of clips. I'll also make sure to post some rough measurement guidelines so that someone else can adapt the design to their own wish. Materials are simple: 1/4" plywood sheet, 1x2 pine, 1" wood screws, wood-glue Tools used are: ** Table-saw ** Band-saw Jig-saw ** 23 gauge "pinner" ** Drill press Hand drill Files, sandpaper Wood glue Assorted drills and counter-sink bits But... you don't need (**) all that. You can replicate this with the most basic set of tools: Jig-saw, drill, files and sand-paper. The rest of what you need will become self evident (clamps, screws, glue, etc..)

sibomots Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Soundtrack - Approved I agree, still the YouTube elves found the music and made me pull it. My mistake. Reposted w/o music.

bazazatron Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 YouTube's archaic copyright policy strikes again. At any rate this has inspired me to get cracking on my own terrain, albeit on a much smaller scale to start with. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours comes along!

sibomots Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm still working on the video production phase. I need to catch up and post the videos that bring the work-in-progress state current to the inventory of video clips. As I go through this process, I'm having to learn a few things about documenting in the video (voice overs) and so on. So bear with me. And, more importantly I'm starting to see that the videos are looking more like tutorials than true WIP documentation. I apologize in advance if that is out of step with the intent of the forum. While I will present my WIP for the community to comment on, of course I also would appreciate any feedback on whether these are turning into more tutorial-ish than WIP-ish. I got a couple of videos almost ready to post (just need to add voice over), and then I think I'll be caught up with the current status. I'm mostly a wood-worker / machinst type who makes models rather than a pure model maker who is banging out techniques for making things. Thank you for the support and comments you have. Much appreciated. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319500-black-templar-keep-wip/#findComment-4315568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
