Display Board


Recommended Posts

I am getting ready for an upcoming tournament and am looking for tutorials, tips, information... on how to make a display board for my Imperial Fist (see power armour, on topic...barely). :ph34r:

 

I found the step by step article on GW's website but I like to do alot of research before I start the cutting, painting and gluing so any information would help me alot.

 

Thanks

 

Ivan

i think a display board should enhance an army and really make them stand out, from what your saying your gonna put yellow marines on a sand coloured base, probably not a great idea? i'd be tempted to change the bases to something a little darker. i think they would go really well on an urban base.

Get yourself a round drill bit for a drill press...I can remember the type. Home Depot hasm in 25mm and 40mm perfect sized for your bases. You dont need a drill press just screwem in your power drill. Id buy some foam isulation and drill into this...you could do particle board but the foam is easier. Just get some elmers glue and some sand and coat your board, but not you holes.

 

Grab some flat spray paint from the paint department and have at it (.99 a can is good). Replace the sprays with home latex paint color matched if you want to take you time and dry brush it on lightly. Pretty much follow the Black Gobbo article on the GW home page for more tips.

 

You can get a good display together in 1/2 a day no problems, once you have your materials together.

hey Ivan,

 

I've been doing some research on the subject and found a couple of semi-helpful links.

For paint I'd use latex house paint, color matched to the colors you used on your bases. Cheaper and very durable.

 

I'd also add some vegetation to add some color outside of yellow (like sage brush, something you're probably familiar with ;) ).

 

Also, if you are looking for a frame, you can usually find cheap ones at Goodwill or similiar and cut the MDF or foam to size.

 

Hope that helps and good luck at the tournament (show em how we roll).
