3D Wall map

Okay,last Friday I started working on a new "mini" project on account of I'm out of Hot Glue sticks so I'm making the wall from the Wall Map from Sabertooth Games LotR TMGMap Pack 1.

The main thing about it is thats I'm making it to be taken apart and put back together again and I'm accomplishing this by using tooth-picks to hold it together.

I'm using insulation foam and already have the pieces cut out and etched waiting to be painted but I also got to get as much as possible of my Helm's Deep done by Saturday as well so it should be fun (I have it leaning against the dresser in my room and I can't bring myself to finish painting the beast).Anyhoo...

Tomb finished for now

Okay,I have finally hauled the tomb from out of my closet and repaired and paint everything there is to do.One problem though,I am out of spray paint and glue so the walls are gonna have to wait but I'm still moving it to the garage.My main project at the moment is now to try and get as much as possible of my Helm's Deep done(I started working on that 2nd or 3rd week of December and it has been a drag let me tell you).I actually have dragged it into my room and it will fill the now vacant spot left by the tomb in my closet...Thats actually one of the big pluses for SBG is that its a smaller scale,then again a drawback for SBG is its smaller scale.Anyhoo,here are some pics.

P.S. Hope you all enjoy my cave troll

Goggles

Ok,I've decided to post pictures and brief descriptions of two pairs of goggles I have made recently so here they are.

Well the black and grey one I made last friday and is made out of a bunch of plastic (uck),while the one on the right is made out of leather and tin coated bronze (I think),only the strap is made out of pleather (the back side of it is coated with "velvet") while the rest is real.

 I made them yesterday and I think they came out rather nicely.

I still don't really know what to think of these guys.

It is a danged pain trying to see out of these guys.

I personally think they make me look like "Moaning Murtle" from Harry Potter.I actually still need to find lens for these (gonna try for glass though),didn't think of that when I made em (shows right?).

Of conventions and bargains

Well I went to my first "official" Gaming convention yesterday and while I was there I found a "Deluxe Edition Lord of the Rings Tradeable Miniatures Game Starter set" for $20! I bought that and have greatly increased my supply of troops and also dressed steampunk(which I love btw) so here are some pics of me playing SBG as well:
