As the name suggests I have spent this evening making some telegraph poles for the gaming table, they obviously have no real purpose but they do make the table look more interesting, and a bit more "real". I've whipped up 7 of these so far using some dowel, a bit of balsa and some small (very small) beads as the insulated bits you get on the real thing.
If I have time tomorrow I will get these undercoated so I can paint them up. I won't be stringing wires between them or anything like that as wires would just get in the way whilst gaming.
I'm waiting on some more printouts so I can finish of my housing blocks (might get them tomorrow all depends on whether the wife remembers to do my printing at college or not).
Looking good mate. This kind of stuff adds real character to a table. So few people take the time, myself included. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! They look very good and cheap to!
ReplyDeleteLooking good; plus they make for very unique cover.
ReplyDeleteThey are looking great Mr Smillie and are a nice touch. I cant wait to to see them painted up
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps I thought these would make some nice table filler! and they were very cheap, 2p for a base, 89p for dowel 99p for the beads (a pack with a life times worth in it) so pretty dashed cheap on the scenery front!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Mr Smillie, now you just need the flock of swallows to festoon them.
ReplyDeleteNow there's an idea Michael!
