Dave.C Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This post was recognized by The Red Baron! "I am excited to see this in action, please continue!" Dave.C was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 11 points. Ok, so I decided to put together a magnetic display for my Adon. I /think/ that it will look really cool, so I'm going to document the process here in case anyone else decides to go this route. So for step one, I have a 20" x 30" White Frame Magnetic Dry Erase Board ($18, Target). Since the only parts of that that I care about are the size and the magnets, I poured a bottle of Reaper's Brush-On Grey Primer on it and roughly spread it out. I had a couple bottles from before I switched to Stynylrez, so I can do a second coat. I'm not concerned about a perfect coat, so I'm just tossing it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave.C Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Ok, second coat of grey down, so now it looks properly scarred and such. I've started mapping out where stuff will sit with graph paper, and am working on adapting the fonts that I'm going to need.

Dave.C Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm not posting a pic of the board this time, because it's just the grey with blocks marked out in pencil. I'll cover the lines with another coat so they aren't visible on the final draft. What I am posting is the font work. This is (pretty much) the Adonese for each of the CAVs on their list. If anyone wants to critique my handwriting, I'd welcome the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave.C Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 This is going to take a couple of coats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Baron Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) @CAVBOSSÂ do you have these letters as an actual font we could import into windows? If so, @Dave.CÂ you could print them out and save a ton of work. Edited September 10, 2021 by The Red Baron typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAVBOSS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Here are links to the four fonts for Adon, Rach, Ritter, and Malvern. These are script fonts so like what you would see in a book or other document. I'm happy with Adon and Rach, but the other two are not what I had in mind so they will be going back to drawing board. https://talon-games.com/downloads/FONTS/Adon Regular.ttf https://talon-games.com/downloads/FONTS/Rach Regular.ttf https://talon-games.com/downloads/FONTS/Ritterlich Regular.ttf https://talon-games.com/downloads/FONTS/Malvernis Regular.ttf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave.C Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 This has taken FAR longer than it should have, but: I finally have the first coat of sealant on the board. It's hard to get pics, because of course it is, but... i'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
