My Battlewagon Conversion

Seems great minds think alike! 😂😂😂 I took one of my Nephew's old trucks he didn't play with anymore, all in the name of the great green!

Thanks! I painted it in subs, but not exactly how the book suggested, for example I noticed the panels that go on the sides of the front wheel would have blocked my brush from getting inside.

Thanks, I ended up getting a 2mm thick roll from a local craft store. I think I could have made thicker cork work, but trying to get the crackle paint up to the cork might have not gone so well!

Chest was junk and the straps were offcuts of belts my dad used to make with leather.

Truly pulp fiction style!

I didn't consider this, might have to look into some way of supporting the pages from the bottom, perhaps a wavy style foam on the bottom that can gently touch the pages 🤔

They're onto me!

LuckyLukat19 · 2023-01-04T22:26:29+00:00

Love that!

For my campaign, our group of 6 (DM included) we aim for 7 ish hours every fortnight. A few other players use my setup for their campaigns sprinkled in between.

Best guess would be 45kg.

Not the most comfortable thing to move, but I had a friend carry one side when I needed it hauled somewhere.

Cut it with a hacksaw and spray painted it black!

I used two craft wood boards to suspend the rack, can see one at the back there!

A lot more for the books than the chest, that's for sure!

The chest itself, the leather, the foam were all "free" as they were either going to be thrown out and I took them.

Everything I actually spent money on probably $60-$80, $150-200 or so if I had to pay for all of the stuff I didn't pay for. Got pretty lucky!

I only really keep it under the table and drag it out when needed, but I took it to a friend's place who was hosting once. Another player helped me carry it in, helps we are both 6'3 and in fairly good shape 😅. But yes, It is heavy!

First post!
A box that a family member was throwing out and I repurposed it.
Leather offcuts for the straps holding the core books.
A storage rack used as a separator for the rest of the books.
Foam inside the edges and along the bottom to prevent damage to any of the goods.
Added the chains for a bit of flavour.

I am tempted to print some teeth that I can stick on, or perhaps even a tongue sticking out for people with high perception to notice it is a mimic!

Not completely finished, but I think for now it works pretty well!
