Late in the Workshop...
Here is a Peg-O pocket racer I just put together tonight. I am thinking of calling him "Jonas Danger" in the Booster-2000!

ARMY BAG
For the past month I've been searching online for an army bag capable of holding a single 4 inch sabol foam tray that I've been using to carry all my 3 T.O.W. Peg-O's. I thought it would make a cool themed piece to be sent with my game when I submit it to KublaCon. However nobody (including Sabol) seems to make a bag small enough to transport just one foam tray!
But today, I decided to visit my local Army Surplus Store here in my little town and there it was. An army bag big enough to hold the 13x7.5x4.5 foam tray!
It was only $19 and I saw alot of neat things in the store that I might want to purchase at a later time. Best part about the store was the sales woman who was rocking an ipod (with headphones on) and playing Rammstein's: Du Hast so loud I could hear it from the back of the store :-D
When I got home I made a cover out of green canvas to make the foam easier to slide in and out without resistance or being damaged. Yup, I sewed it myself :-) a feat I am quite proud of seeing as I've never sewn anything other than a torn hacky-sack :-P
Army Transport Bag
I might add a flag or white star, or our 3 T.O.W. logo
Front Pockets Hold the 2 Game Canisters
Snug Fit
Green Canvas Cover Around Foam Tray
I might add a top flap to this
Everything You Need to Play 3 TOW
Besides the board that is :-D

6 Turn Counter / John G. Sesame
Here is the completed 6 turn counter :-D
For those of you who haven't played; the 6 turn counter is started the second the first player ends his or her last tour. All other players have 6 turns to complete their final tour or they're points are halved!
I originally intended for this piece to be set in a mini helicopter, but unfortunately that project fell apart. Plastic and "heavy" wooden pegs don't sit well together and the frustration caused me to rush into salvaging the pieces that were still good and accidentally getting a big piece of plastic to shoot into my eye (with the use of a dremmel). It scare the living Jesus out of me! I got the piece out by rushing to the sink and washing my eye out; it was very red, itchy and irritated for a day :-(
*Remember kids, "don't be a dummy" safety first! Use protective goggles when using a dremmel* :-)

Perler Art
Thanks to my friend Danno who showed me his awesome 8-bit perler art designs, I too have been influenced into making perler art....and boy is it addicting! :-)
I have been practicing my ironing skills with smaller images so I can eventually iron these 4 bigger templates that I will use with my home version of 3 TOW. I plan to use these as dice tablets (roll the dice on the tablet); if your anything like me I like rolling the dice on a clipboard or book and it doesn't count if it rolls anywhere else.
I am also digging the 8-bit look for my characters and have been daydreaming about how cool it would be to make a 3 TOW 8-bit app. Unfortunately I don't know anything about making video games or apps :-(
But if I could I would try to make a game that's somewhere between River City Ransom, Mega Man, and Super Mario Bros 3! :-D

Mean Green Maladroit Machine!
I finished painting my "Maladroit Machine" tank last night and I am quite pleased with the results. I added a different shade of green and I really like the way it looks with the troops.
I don't know if I have posted this before but the turret is magnetized and swivels 360". The hatch that opens up the tank where the cards and dice are stored, is also magnetized for easy access.
I didn't take a picture of the other side of the tank, but it has a "U.S.A." symbol instead of the American flag on the escape hatch.
