Hirst Arts Heroquest Board

Hiya Folks,

I've always wanted a proper 3D hirsts arts heroquest board and so I've finally taken the plunge and got stuck in. So far, I've cast all the tiles I need and mounted them on 6mm MDF ....

Obviously I've got to repaint the grey tiles and then paint the rest in proper heroquest colours. Once that's done, it'll be time to start adding wall and doors etc.

So guys, what do you think?

Mel

Ps - I'll be covering the build on my youtube channel, feel free to check it out .... http://www.youtube.com/theterraintutor

So far so good.
What are you planning to do regarding walls/doors?

Great work. As much as I'd love something like this, I couldn't fit one in our present townhouse and even when we move into a real house, I'm still not sure I could justify having one but keen to see how this goes.

Stratos - Cheers matey

Thantos - cheers, it's crystical, an industrial casting power mate.

Goblin-King - Initially, I'll build free standing doors as the rooms will all be coloured differently and are separate pieces but moving forward, I want to build proper walls and doors but got to get the board finished first.

Redev - It all fits in a shoe box mate

Sjeng - Yeah, I've seen those mate, love that board!

Just a little crack filling tonight, I don't have the solid tile mold and want to use the cracked tiles for the boards corridors. A little bit of filler and now I've got some solid tiled rooms!

;-)

Crystical R has a compression PSI of around 14,000, Herculite is around 5,000PSI, so it's pretty strong. For example, I can't break the tiles with my bare hands, I have to use pliers. It's cure to demould time is around 15 minutes, so it's perfect for hirst arts stuff mate.
