You can see the blog posts regarding that. :-)<br /><br />I started the board on Thursday afternoon, and by Saturday morning, I was at the tournament. I spent probably 25+ hours in that time on the board. Parts of it were still drying over the weekend!wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-1920821750116823242012-11-23T11:40:18.056-06:002012-11-23T11:40:18.056-06:00Thaaaaaank you!!!

Since I only get to work on my own projects sporadically, I can only estimate the total time involved.<br /><br />However, I added up some numbers, and the whole thing took at least 400 hours. Probably more. That does not count all the playtesting, making counters, figures that were started but removed from lists, etc.<br /><br />When you factor that in, it's more like 500 hours. I first began working on these in March of this year.wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-22564532212833925842012-11-23T07:22:41.976-06:002012-11-23T07:22:41.976-06:00ok.. as sometimes I publish an entry with some day...ok.. as sometimes I publish an entry with some days work<br />I would like to ask you:<br />How many hours have you worked in this project?<br />and how many days?Pablo El Marqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714182499577351417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-19114170509162230612012-11-05T19:55:11.483-06:002012-11-05T19:55:11.483-06:00You have to stir the heck out of it.

The little can weighs 2-3 times what it should, as the "magnetic" nature of the paint is in the metal flakes.<br /><br />This will also make whatever you paint it on a bit heavier as well. It is suggested that 3 thin coats are best. Also beware of the fumes!<br /><br />Best of luck!wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-59709537476633724192012-11-05T18:04:31.310-06:002012-11-05T18:04:31.310-06:00Regarding the magnetic paint.

Or just dig to the bottom for the goods?<br /><br />Great inspiration right here.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.com
