Hi, I am building this and following the instructions, thank you for the video. Quick question at 6 min 48 second to 53 second mark you mention spraying the board with "isopropyl alcohol and then mat sealant" ---what is mat sealant?
@dicedrinksanddadjokes2 күн бұрын
I have another video showing how to make it. It’s basically watered down mod podge but you could also use watered down white glue with a little varnish. Or pay the dollars for a commercial version.

I've tried that "clamp a hand-held hotwire and faff about with wood bit risers in lieu of a proxxon technique" (I'll have to think of a shorter name) and it does work, but yeah it's a pain in the butt. Nowadays I glue paper circle templates to some Readi-Board and cut enough out with my hobby knife to stack to the thickness I need. But you have to clad the edges somehow or it looks a bit shyte. I've seen people use broken table saws as a foundation for a bodge-up tabletop hotwire, resulting in the least compact proxxon-adjacent clone ever created.
@dicedrinksanddadjokes3 күн бұрын
FAHWC? Short for "Faff about hotwire cutter" Honestly love my proxxon so much! Was a hefty investment though. Yeah I've seen some interesting homemade jobs too, none that look particularly appealing. Thanks for watching man!

As a fellow kiwi, where the hell do you get your foam from? I have never been able to find it in the obvious spots like Bunnings or Mitre10. I saw Zorpazorp had to haggle his from a construction company when he moved over here. I've always had to find alternatives for my builds.

Preach brother haha! Most of mine is left overs I’ve hoarded but there are a couple of wholesalers around. Auckland and Palmerston North have places you can buy from. I’ll be putting in a big order at the end of the year because I think it’s more cost effective buying in bulk. May have to start a reselling business haha 😜

The end result shows the flaws with battle companies. One team can start steam rolling very fast. My campaign I was Isengard, friend was Minis Tirith. First game he had a hero die, hero captured, troop injured. So next game he only had 3 troops vs my 7 uruk scouts with F4 S4. Towards the end of the campaign were we stopped playing I had 3 beserkers backed up by pikes, it made the battles very one sided.
