Star Wars X-Wing: Starfield Board.
 |
| The Finished Board, sans scenery. |
Hi guys, Today i built a new X-wing board, after buying some more "pets"
 |
| Super fast Weather Loach. |
This ones a "Weather Loach" and i thought it would be a lazy beast, sadly its the fastest thing ever when it comes out and i struggled to take photos... unlike this lazy sod.
 |
| Laziest most odd dog in the world, it has its own "invisibility cloak" and bottle toy. |
Anyway! as its taking me a year and a day to produce my Hoth themed battle board, i thought i would knock out a quick and easy Star Field Board for my X-Wing games. People are fed up of flying over the wooden table top!
Luckily i managed to produce this with only bits i had laying about so it was super cheap, and super easy, not to mention super fast!
Heres how i made it.
Firstly i Aquired 2 sheets of thin board that when laid together would provide a 36"x36" playing board which is the standard size for X-Wing games.
 |
| Two plain boards. |
The two boards, when laid together look like this:
 |
| Potential playing board. |
I then dug out an old tin of cheap automotive spray paint!
 |
| Cheap and nasty aerosol. |
I used the spray to give each board a light dusting before going to town on them.
 |
| Hoping i had enough paint to last. |
After that i thought it would be a good idea to spray round the edges first so they would be nice and covered.
 |
| Getting the edges right. |
Again after that i gave each board another 3 layers of paint,
 |
| After 2 layers of paint. |
After the third layer, and laying them together, i had this:
 |
| Three layers and looking solid. |
Then it was time for more equipment! A Toothbrush (stole from the girlfriend) some white paint. and a pot for the paint.
 |
| Equipment for Stars, with added Girlfriend's Toothbrush. |
Then i flicked the hell out of it, all over the place, It was GREAT fun! sadly it was all over too soon and i ended up with this:
|
| The Finished Article. |
Awesome don't you think!
