Brunswick game maker hopes big fun comes in small package Article in the Forecaster about “Cabin Fever: The Game from Maine” and yours truly.
Gareth Branwyn (editor-in-chief of Make Online) has written a wonderfully detailed article revealing some of his tips and tricks for model building and crafting in tabletop miniature gaming.
In the early aughts, I ran a popular and well-regarded tabletop wargame modeling and converting site called 40K Konversions. It was dedicated to all forms of modeling related to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. For those who don’t know, “conversions” are wargame miniatures that have been altered in some way, from swapping legs or heads to creating whole new figures by parts swapping, sculpting on new features, and so on. Unfortunately, my site is no longer accessible. I went through my articles from the site and have put together some of the best tips and tricks that I published. Some are specific to sci-fi/40K gaming, others can apply to many forms of modeling. Feel free to add your own tips in comments. I’ll be moving this over to Make: Projects at the end of the month and will be folding in your tips and suggestions. -Gareth
