Re: Game of Thrones "The Painted Table" replica UPDATED 7/14/16
Alright, everybody. I'm back!
College really sucked the life out of me, but I am proud to say that I got a BFA in Ceramics out of it, and a passion for something I love. Now, I can get back to the life of prop making! One of my first projects will be to complete this damn table. I have learned to 3D model, and plan on purchasing a Creality CR-10S soon, so I will be able to print my own parts for this project.
I've started modeling the 'icons' in Rhino, which will each have it's own 'stamp' version. I will stamp the shape of the icon into the skratchwork clay, and when it's dry, adhere the prepainted icons into the voids. This way I don't have to worry about trying to paint them when they are glued in, or repaint them after I paint the actual table.
There are four (I think only four) different icons for the keeps/citys/etc:
There's two different icons for mountains:
There's also two different tree icons used:
All of the printed icons will have their edges sanded down to look worn, like the original. I'd rather just print them with a flat surface, then go back and adjust them individually. I feel like this will make them look more authentic.
They appear on the screen used table to be made of ivory, so I might print in an off-white PLA, then paint them. The trees will be green, obviously.
I will be updating as I model. I'm not the world's faster 3d modeler, but I'm working on it.
