A little departure from our normal work in progress posts. We recently embarked on a coffee stirrer challenge. The idea being to make something for wargaming from wooden coffee stirrers. A few of us accepted the challenge and present the results here.<\/p>\n

We start with my effort, I went a bit over the top and decided to make a small wooden boat.<\/p>\n

Stephen decided to make something very practical for gaming with, in the form of some archer mantlets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Tony F seized the opportunity to make a piece of scenery needed for an upcoming game. He created the gate to Bree for a Lord of the Rings game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And our final entry was from Andy who created a couple of terrain pieces. The first being a barricade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And to follow Andy made a section of fencing, but decided to keep going and ended up making an entire fenced area.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

This was an interesting challenge and a fun one to try an see what wargaming terrain we could make out of something as simple as a coffee stirrer.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoyed this slight distraction, we’ll get back to our usual work in progress next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
