Gotham by Dice

We've been playing a certain amount of Steve Jackson Games's Batman dice game. It's an excellent game (any competitive game I can get my lovely and talented spouse to play is a good one), but a little sparse by our standards. What's the natural thing to do? How about a custom dice tower.

This is mostly bricolage, as we structuralists call it. About a third of the buildings around the dice area are from this skyscraper chess set. The remainder are from a Sim City play set and some Hong Kong apartment blocks. The manhole cover is...well, a manhole cover the Gotham City utilities people use. The dice tower proper is a model of the KOIN tower, significantly resized and hollowed out. I added a couple of ramps for the dice to bounce off of and an arch for them to roll out.

The only thing I really designed was a base for all the parts, basically the base of the main tower plus an 80mm diameter ring at the end of the ramp. All the towers got spritzed with stone texture spray paint, while the manhole cover got the Modern Masters iron paint and rust activator. I really like that stuff. A little cyanoacrylate to hold everything together and we're off to the races. And now we'll have something far more interesting to bounce our dice off of next time we play.
