Right well I've been quote busy with work etc lately but I have been working on the board so heres a run down of how far I've got so far
firstly i managed to get the hinges working, wow that wasn't easy haha, heres what the board looks like closed at the moment (the top carving isn't stuck down)
A couple of days after i received my parcel from shape ways, the centre ring and dome, unfortunately i was informed a couple of days after i ordered that the dome doesn't quite fit, but hey ho, Im working on doing the dome a different way at the moment.
after fitting the compartments to the board and got them working with little hinges i ordered some tiny magnets from amazon to fit so they stay shut like in the film, all working as it should
I then set about trying to work out the best way of making the game rule panels, i couldn't find an image online that was clear enough and after doing a bit of research i found a way of transferring inkjet prints onto wood, so I've decided to draw the rule cards by hand which i will then alter colours etc in photoshop and print out to transfer onto wood
heres one of the rules nearly finished.
After a couple of weeks not working on the board i ordered some more silicone to get the rest of the moulds made. So i set to work casting the actual board.
That all went well and this is what the board looks like on the inside at the moment
pretty happy so far.
Im going to put some supports under the resin board to lift it up a little i think.
Ive been studying screenshots and i just wasn't happy with my playing pieces, so tonight I've re-sculpted them to be as screen accurate as my abilities will allow, they aren't perfect, but they're good enough for me
More updates to come soon
