 One of my friends requested that I help to make a prop for one of the events at GenCon.  They wanted a "Rune Wheel" with a selection of Runes on it that are split across three different rings.  The puzzle is to line up the runes, then interpret them. One of my friends requested that I help to make a prop for one of the events at GenCon.  They wanted a "Rune Wheel" with a selection of Runes on it that are split across three different rings.  The puzzle is to line up the runes, then interpret them.

-So, using additional foam - this time 1" foam for the inner two rings and 2" foam for the outer ring, I re-marked all of the wheels.  From there I transferred the drawings of the runes onto the foam.  This was a fairly slow process, as I did all of the transfers by hand and had to use some creative interpretation to make sure they all worked.+So, using additional foam - this time 1" foam for the inner two rings and 2" foam for the outer ring, I re-marked all of the wheels.  From there I transferred the drawings of the runes onto the foam.  This was a fairly slow process, as I did all of the transfers by hand and had to use some creative interpretation to make sure they all worked.{{ :members:20130703_200452.jpg?direct&400|}}
  
 Once the runes were sketched I used a Dremel with an engraving bit and engraved out all of the shapes.  It was a somewhat time-consuming process, but it turned out quite well. Once the runes were sketched I used a Dremel with an engraving bit and engraved out all of the shapes.  It was a somewhat time-consuming process, but it turned out quite well.

 After all of the engraving was completed I took a wire brush to the foam to break up the even layers and give it more of a rock texture.  After sanding I then painted two coats of standard latex paint, then a few random sprays of colors to add depth. After all of the engraving was completed I took a wire brush to the foam to break up the even layers and give it more of a rock texture.  After sanding I then painted two coats of standard latex paint, then a few random sprays of colors to add depth.
