Valaas Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi All, Thought I'd post a WIP of the projects that is always ongoing behind the scenes of my armies. The 'War Room', is the hobby heaven in my house and was only possible after moving into a house with a double garage a year or so ago (and a long suffering wife). This is now the main gaming location of my close group of gaming buddies. It is very much a work in progress improving all the time (put in a work bench last week), and gradually expanding my terrain. The Plan: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/1_Table%20Design_zpsuvhqu0of.jpg The starting point: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/2_War%20Room%20-%20Start_zpsfh4rklvp.jpg Mid Frame Build: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/3_Frame_zpsongyb6ml.jpg Frame Complete http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/photo%201_zpsdpib3tlv.jpg In Table storage: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/5_In%20board%20storage_zpsiraa7d1v.jpg Beer Fridge and Shelving: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/board2_zpshi8nizir.jpg Board Tile Racks: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/4_Unpainted_zpsw3zuewpy.jpg Winter Wilderness: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/8_Painted%201_zpsw6vpuoyc.jpg Some Scatter Terrain: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/IMG_5028_zpsghafwb3d.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/IMG_5106_zpsz6oqrlvt.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/IMG_5112_zpsfqr4ivne.jpg Current WIP:- Strongpoint http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/War%20Room/IMG_5051_zpsimztgden.jpg Hope you guys like it.

Sister_Miriya Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Really dig your set up (consider it stolen!) I have a few nitty gritty questions about the construction. You used 2x2s for the frame work correct? Did you end up boxing up the "legs" to prevent them from shifting outwards with excessive force/weight? How did you build the top portion? Did you just toe nail the cross pieces or did you end up using a backing plate/gusset that isn't seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks for the comments everyone! Really dig your set up (consider it stolen!) I have a few nitty gritty questions about the construction. You used 2x2s for the frame work correct? Did you end up boxing up the "legs" to prevent them from shifting outwards with excessive force/weight? How did you build the top portion? Did you just toe nail the cross pieces or did you end up using a backing plate/gusset that isn't seen? Happy to help replicate my table elsewhere...... The frame is indeed made up of 2x2, however the corner legs are 4x4, for some extra strength. You can't see in the finished table but there are legs at each cross point down the centre and the shelves are attached, this has spread the weight over so many legs that I've not had any outwards shifting of the any legs. With the cross pieces, again not visible, are small steel plates (picked up from B&Q ...'other hardware stores are available)and L shaped brackets for some of the legs. The under table storage is actually an old kitchen table that was going to be scrapped which sits under the board. Future design plans includes a canal sunken into the board void below as part of a city fight. Any questions just give a shout happy to help.

Sister_Miriya Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Right on! Thank you for the clarification. I never would of thought of a kitchen table for the storage area, very clever! -adds gaming table to page 37 of things to do- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 So I sign up for the waiting list to get in where? Holy moly that is an awesome set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Right on! Thank you for the clarification. I never would of thought of a kitchen table for the storage area, very clever! -adds gaming table to page 37 of things to do- Just to warn you.....it will take over your list of things to do! Once you have it built then there's new terrain and new boards to build! As I guiltily look at the Zone Mortalis setup requiring paint and the pad of terrain sketches gathering dust! So I sign up for the waiting list to get in where? Holy moly that is an awesome set up. No waiting list required, if anyone is visiting the Aberdeen (Scotland) area they are always welcome for a game and a beer! Cheers, Valaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminatorAM Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Very nice. I may be stealing some ideas too. The board tile rack is simple, but genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
