I've made some progress on my FG table but it's slow going. Building 2 different tables in the same space was very ambitious….

Again, since I have a lot of set pieces for FG already done, this is not a linear build. I sort of hop all over the place.

On to the pics. This is my Shanty update. One of the sections of the table will be a harbor, and I imagined the area around the docks is not the best area of town. So I wanted to make some poorly made and rundown shanties for the dock area. I started with Stone Floor Bases from Renedra, that I picked up from Brigade Games. Then the rest is foamcore and coffee stirrers.

Glue to base, then add coffee stirrers to sides.

Use snips to cut wood siding to size.

Adding detail.

I little paint makes it really start to come together.

With proof of concept done, I start 3 more.

Finished painting the first, while glue is drying on the other 3.

Wow. I'm totally stealing this idea. Although if anyone asks, I'll tell them where I got it.

Great stuff! It should also be in the Workbench section.

Those look great, fantastic use of materials! I really like that they're fully detailed inside and out.

Great idea!

oh, Baby! Very nicely done!

Those are nice.
I've used balsa sheet for similar strips. It's now rather more expensive but works easier. You can emphasise grain with a wire brush.
