    The tabletop's ambiance is coming together quite nicely. I also noticed your view count on your build videos is rising. I do not have proxon, my scroll saw would disturb the neighbors, an airbrush is a tool I admire; though quite fiddly, and 3-D printers though nice break often after a while. I do appreciate that these builds can be made without expensive gadgets with simple inexpensive tools. You put quite a bit of effort into editing these videos and they sparkle young man. Keep up the good work and remember it's all about getting the game up and running; never let yourself obsess over having the perfect models. Just have a good time, relax, and keep making memories.

    I like this process because instead of arcane circles, I can use these for something else. I play Alpha Strike, so for artillery barrages or any area of effect damage, I could just whip out a circle and put it next near my Mechs. Slap a Faction logo on it to show where and who the shot came from. Neat.

    One way to ensure the circular platform bricks remain, well, circular, is to put some kind of circular object inside as you're layering the bricks. Like a Pringles can or the like. If nothing is the right size, you could roll a sheet of cardstock and tape it into a tube, using the arcane circles as a size guide.

    What about pin washing the grooves between the stones with a thin white paint or ink, and then doing a tight spray along those lines of a colored ink.
