In the Pipeline - February

Well, I haven't had the chance to get to the lab lately, due to weather and illness. But, there's still plenty that needs to go up on the Etsy shop, and I'm starting to dabble in 3D modelling... More on that in a bit.

Last time, I promised to show off some items that are in progress, or coming soon to the store.

The first one was part of an effort to add an 8-bit flair to games. Particularly for games like Super Dungeon Explore. At first, I made all the items in clear acrylic. They're a bit hard to see, so I tried upping the contrast...

A "?" marker, a potion, a heart and a key. Each one is just a bit smaller than a 1/2 inch square. I had a bit of scrap red acrylic, so I tried to make the hearts with that...

... and I think it turned out really well! Shown here with a Super Dungeon Explore mini for scale.

This, I thought, was just a nice artsy pic if the hearts. Unfortunately, they won't be available by Valentine's Day. This test run was done with a scrap and the acrylic had plenty of scuff marks and scratches. Not the quality I like to ship out to people.

These definitely could go up on the Etsy shop, but I need feedback. I need to know there's a demand for them before I start making a bunch of them. Also, if there are other 8-bit goodies that would sell, let me know in the comments!

The last items for today's post are going into the shop very soon. I took textured plasticard and cut them out into small circles with the laser cutter, and they fit just perfectly onto Warhammer 40k round bases and Warmachine/Hordes bases.

From top to bottom, Diamond plate, grid, brick, and cobblestone. Brick and plate are already up on the store, and the cobblestone will be added soon. I am a bit iffy on the grid pattern, since it will require a bit of trimming (the laser didn't quite cut it all the way through). But, here's an example shot of the brick pattern:

I'll try to get painted examples of all four up and onto the Etsy page soon. I think they add a lot more than just gluing random sand and static grass to a base, and they can be used with slotted and non-slotted bases alike!

I'm always looking for feedback. What do you think of these products? What products would you like to see? Let me know in the comments below or on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gamegeek.alchemy
