Here are some bases that I made.  I raised the edges up so the edges of the strips blended in:



Now an update on the Engine of the Frogs.  I am getting close on this one.  I need to add one more ankle fetter, possibly more supporting logs, ropes (to tie down the platform onto the beast) and (of all things) toenails.  Oh yes, and I want to add a skink shaman 'floating' above the front of the platform. Note that the rings will be cast individually so they can be positioned any crazy way you want.  The rings were made as individual pieces.  It took some doing to get perfectly round hoops that would fit tightly inside each other.




It's taking so long because of work pressure, work for the IEEE, teaching (adjunct at SNHU) and casting projects for my lovely spouse and others.  I hope to clear away some of these extra projects soon!

Please let me know what you think of the Engine.  Thanks!

Yes, friends, I will be casting these up to sell. 

One lucky person in Canada has ordered the first one and has been patiently waiting (for too long) for me to finish this project.

I'd be really interested in the Engine of the Frogs. I'm a big fan of the hoops-spinning-inside-hoops thing.

Good idea with the bases too.

Bases = Win

Engine of the Frogs = Win


I'm interested in both projects when they're up and running.

Fracas, there will be 2 bases for archers.

The first base will hold 4 archer-type strips on a base.

The second will hold 5 archer-type strips on a base.  There are some troops that come on archer-type strips, one example being Elite Halberdiers.  Some folks like to have these bases more crowded so they blend in better with other infantry.

This is awesome
I am now painting lizardmen but I have HE and Skaven yet to paint
I always mount my archers 5 wide and the Skaven will need to be five wide as well

When will you be able to sell the bases?

Doing some calculations, I will be ready to sell around the third week in March.

How many would you need?
