Drawing plans

Completed the drawing that I will need to create the wooden parts:

This is at 1:2 scale and so after printing I will be able to move the parts over to the correct size on the timber

Starting to model

I originally wanted the 3D printed end to almost look like rubble and broken rock but this proved to be immensely difficult Screenshot 2026-02-01 135115Screenshot 2026-02-01 140406

As painfully evident from the photos this didn't go well.
For this reason I decided to cut my loses and move on which resulted in my creating this block:

I will next create drawings ready for cutting the wood and transparent details

Notes

After doing research to find the allowed measurements I started by brainstorming some ideas on paper and making so sketches. I went through quite a few ideas for features such as resin casts, a Warhammer figure, but my final idea before modelling will be a 3D print fused to a timber part and then some acrylic held together with supporting dowels.

On to start modelling...
