|
|
I needed some plasma torpedo miniatures and scratch built a dozen to use until a better option comes along.
I bought a dozen beads for .75 (this includes taxes) and used leftover wood disks from a previous project plus old HO scale train axles to mount them. They're not exactly what I was shooting for but I couldn't find the shape I wanted to use so these are good enough for now. I just numbered them from 1 - 12 since I won't need more than that for a single game at the convention.

What I wanted was teardrop shaped beads but couldn't find any locally. This was the next best option. They'll add color to the game board. |

Todd has them done and we plan to have them at Origins. He's scrambling now to do the fighters over again as the test casts didnt' work. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

They look a lot more like the actual energy balls from the Balance of Terror episode,than do the teardrop type of marker. Good find. _________________ Federal Republic of Aurora fleet builder.

These are mostly for "color" on the game board; I also have some plasma counters that are larger size/colored I downloaded and made about a year ago.
I'm looking forward to the new miniatures. |
