"How the hell... Am I gonna paint it?" I... I was wondering the exact same thing, man! What an absolutely HUGE project! REALLY looking forward to the next videos in this series!

[@FacilityD20]

Thanks... painting is going... lol

[@supertaco22]

when i do big painting projects. i call in the troops. call your friends. many hands make for light work . also use large brushes! but first. create a plan and a color pallete so you can keep them in line. step 1 this color. this brush. this technique. may i also making a few test pieces. that are like mini dioramas little 4 inchs or so. the failed prints that are kinda right. put em on a piece of the base . base it. get the legs. spray prime it and make a plan before you go ham on the big table

Thank you!

[@Tommynos]

Instead of spackle or molding clay, both of which are brittle, I use this product for texture and terrain bases. It's a water-cleanable urethane which dries to a hard plastic in a few hours and it takes primer just like model plastic does. It's also got a very nice sanded texture right out of the bucket. It's available at most big-box home improvement centers (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc) Drawback is that after it's cured, you can't smooth it with sandpaper. I've gotten around this by letting it firm up and then burnishing it with thin cardboard (cereal box). Your project is epic! Cheers! Henry brand "Patch N' Level 345" ( link not allowed )

[@BMcC78]

I recommend alignment dowels between the MDF panels at the joints, and then maybe for aesthetic purposes, maybe acrylic resin/epoxy fill for the chasm, unless it's a playable area. You could use it to recreate a thermocline or halocline to illustrate the depth.

[@FacilityD20]

I thought hard about the epoxy in the chasm for a while, but that would cost me about $200 for the resin... this table is already costing a lot even with the sponsorship hahaha

A Canadian tabletop channel? Count me in! Great idea on the magnet slots to connect everything together. Think you're gonna need to base coat the terrain without the base. Just go crazy with rattle cans or an air brush to get the main colour blocks in. Then bring the tunnels in after cos painting under with them installed would be a nightmare! Lookin forward to it!

For sure... part 2 just dropped if you want to check it out

[@terricon4]

Personal recomendation, don't glue the legs to the table before painting. Instead, just make magnet inserts into the base, or in advance thin metal sheats into the tale base, so you can then put magnets intot he structures feet and then you can always pick them up or move them around and rearange stuff as you want later. Lets you keep your gaming table more varied and fund for longer to use.

[@FacilityD20]

I torn on what i want to do with this.... i know you are right about the varied bit for sure

[@Taphosthewarlock]

I think the facility is going to cover up so much of the character of the board. The facility is almost like a second gaming table on top of your gaming table rather than a complement to it, some separated zones with tracks between outposts or similar to let people use the actual board and have verticality may end up better for gaming and aesthetic.

[@FacilityD20]

Boards like this are really a struggle between form and function... still haven't decided how I am going to attack the structure to the sea floor... if its going to be permanently affixed or not...

[@amherstwarehouse3382]

Good to see you again! The styrofoam base, was it notched on the inside edges so it would hold together better? That was a great idea with the blowtorch! I'll try to remember that. Magnet's, what a great idea! Keeps everything together, but gives the option to change it up later. I keep pushing GM ATANK to incorporate them into his stuff, but... Well... He hasn't yet. I'm blown away with this build, and am on pins and needles for the next one.
