Making a Range Stick

At Mike's suggestion, I decided to make a range stick for my Blood Bowl set. I have always liked the 'old school' look of dowel range sticks.

The ranges in the game are 10cm, 10cm, 10cm, and 8cm.

I cut a 2mm diameter dowel to a length of 48cm, leaving 10cm as handle. The ranges are marked on the dowel with pencil.



Scotch tape is used to mask each section during painting to ensure a clear demarcation.



Each painted section is painted in turn, with the previous painted section masked with tape.



A coat of spray varnish and it's ready to play. All done in under 30 minutes!
