Crunch's Bastion

Our buddy Crunch is a master of woodwork. We often give him a hard time for his MacGyver like ability to craft things from scrap lumber, but that's another story. His new terrain project is a defensive bastion made from masonite. It's very solid and pretty light weight.

Check it out


Foam packaging from a computer box. The foam is dense enough for structures, yet soft enough to easily cut with a razor knife.


At 4 feet long it runs the length of the table.


The openings are just big enough for a Ork Battle Wagon to fit, though not a Bane Blade. I wonder if that was intentional?

His next step is a layer of drywall gap filler to add texture to the foam areas. From there he's going to give it a thin coat of textured spray paint. More pics next weekend (when I'm off call lol).

macgyver for the win.

Don't use spray paint on the foam, it will melt like the witch in the wizard of oz and give off awful awful fumes. I would recommend spraying the other stuff and doing the foam by hand.

Yeah been there before lol.

He's going to put on a thin layer of drywall gap filler on the foam pieces to give it a textured surface, then a coat of grey primer. The textured paint will be on the wood sections.

Thanks for the comment :)

Actually, this apparently is a different type of foam, not your typical styrofoam. I've already tested spraying a scrap piece, and it didn't melt! I'm glad you got those pics chi3f! I didn't take any before I slathered it with drywall compound.
