Today marks just one week until the dice drop on my third WHFB tournament “Sparkle Party Death Match 3, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fun!” I assembled these trophies with blocks cast from Hirst Arts molds, the Mad Dayn dice bearer models from Scibor and few pieces of styrene. In the previous SPDMs I put these on the top three tables as statue terrain. The dice are removable so these make the perfect turn counters as well. I strive to have all my awards be something functional.
I absolutely love Hirst Arts molds and if you love Legos you will love them too. You can build so much with them. The Scibor Dwarfs are full of detail but the scale on them is way too large to be incorporated or mixed into a GW Dwarf army. They easily stand as tall as an Empire human but for use as statues they are perfect.
I left the brass plaques blank so players can add their own names if they choose.
can i buy these trouphies
So is there any possible chance of getting the materials, minus the die holders and the dice, from you? I don't necessarily want to purchase molds and molding material to make them, unless you think I can do the whole project for under $50. I see the dice cost around $13 minus shipping, the die holders around $40, so investing another $30 for building just the columns would put it out my price range for what I want to do. Just curious, unless you can think of variants that might cost less.
Thanks
These are awesome, love the concept and execution. Did you buy or paint the dice? They look ace!
Thanks 🙂 The dice are from Chessex. These are the Chessex item numbers: CHX29006, CHX29007 and CHX29011. I recently decided that http://www.thedicestoreonline.com/ is my new favorite dice supplier.
I like the idea! They look awesome!
These are fantastic. Well done dude, I'm really impressed 🙂
