Building the Ballroom for The Blitz

July 12, 2023

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this one, Gerry!

Anyway, today, I dragged out this project from its dusty shelf in the store room at work, and got back on it. I decided I wanted a grand flight of stairs leading into the ballroom for the Beast to stand on looking all impressive and stuff.

I had a rummage through the bits boxes, and came up with a nice sheet of thick cork tile. Happy with my find, I set it one side and went a-burrowing again. This time, I found some old wooden castle walls that never actually saw a terrain board since I bought the damn things. That’s the ballroom walls sorted, then.

I played around until I found a position I liked (ooh-err missus), and then set about measuring the gap to cut the cork to size. I wanted at least the first few steps to be usable terrain, so I made sure the treads were large enough to accommodate the base of a mini. I curved the fronts to make an interesting shape, and cut two for each step to make them tall enough when glued together.
