Rotating Cheese Wheel Clock for Mice and Mystics boardgame (or anything else you fancy).
Printed in one single shot, no assembly required.
The clock is about 55mm diameter, 20mm high including knob (2.2" d ; 0.8" h).
How it works : There are two parts. One mobile (cheese + knob), one fixed (body). Both have an helicoidal shape. So when you turn the knob clockwise the "cheese" part goes over the "body" part and seems to appear. Turn the knob couterclockwise and the cheese disappears under the body. Magic !
Bonus feature: It generally allows to
shorten the game duration by a few minutes, due to less token manipulation.
Note:
There can be remaining nylon powder stuck between the two parts, preventing them to rotate. If so, they'll need to be separated using a thin & long tool (spatula, toothpick, or similar...).
Check the step-by step pic in the image gallery above. This is easy, but if you don't think you'll be able to do it, please don't buy this model!!
The model comes unpainted. It has a single colour.
If you want to paint it, the process is almost identical to any regular plastic miniature. Some recommendations:
- With White Plastic : Wash the model, to remove any remaining nylon powder. Use soapy water, rub with toothbrush, rinse, let dry. Spray prime (you can apply more primer coats than usual, though), paint, spray varnish.
Here's a video (in french) showing the painting process of the cheese wheel and one of my FormulaD models. The models have been washed and spray-primed before the video.
