Hnefatafl Board and Pieces Finally complete

So in my spare time at work, I've been making a Hnefatafl Board.

The pieces are 3D printed on a Makerbot, and then spray painted black and tan with a gloss overcoat.
The models of the pieces were taken from a 3D boardgame, although I'm afraid I forget which one.  I think it was a chess set.  I used the pawns, the king, and the knights..

The board is a 13x13" picture frame with a wooden base, cork mounted on the underside, and Home Depot stone bathroom 1" tiles as the squares.  I put caulking round the edge to seal everything in.

It turned out quite well.  Looking forward to playing.  I love the game because of its asymmetrical nature.

Wizwar 3D print tests

I've been interested in the boardgame Wizwar and really liked the plaster molded pieces, but decided to print my own.  Its been a bit of a pain getting "biologial" and curvy edges, but the results are encouraging.  I printed similar parts together as one .stl file so that we can print multiple pieces at once. Still more to print, and I'll have to spray them gray to look like stone, but still..
