Wooden GEV toy

Unistrut · 01-02-2018, 10:25 PM

My son kept pointing at the OGRE miniatures box and going "Hovercraft!" so I decided to make him a wooden toy version. It looks like it's slightly smaller than the macroscale GEV.

The paint isn't super detailed as it was immediately given to a five year old to play with.

Looks like we have a new master of the Ogreverse today :-)

Just for reference: How much does that weigh?

(Technically: All the cardboard counters in the various _OGRE_ sets are "wooden minis. :) )

Hovercraft!

Well done, sir.

That seriously rocks! Well done!

How long did that take you? Is it something that the "average Joe" could easily do? A detailed description of the process, if not too technical, might be appreciated by others.

That's cool. Great way to start him on the Ogreverse.

A quarter says the top turret doesn't survive the month. :)
