PotM June 2016: Senet Boardgame

The project of the month for June 2016 is my Senet boardgame. After running into a situation where I would have to sand down several side block I let this project languish.

Senet board side and the two ends. I ended up needing to cast more blocks to finish off the end pieces due to some misshapen blocks. I'm planning on making a box out of foamcore to hold the playing pieces. The left end piece has two indentations to pull to slide it out of the cavity.

 

   The Ur side of the game box. I'm going  to fix the little chip in the middle with some green stuff after I get the rest of the piece finished.

 

 I've painted the inside with black gesso and coated it with high gloss varnish so that the plaster doesn't rub off when the foamcore box gets pulled out.
