New Task
Now that I've got the Schleich figures based, I began work on the terrain for the arena. I want to do something simple but re-usable and so I decided to create some pillars. Here's my progress thus far:
Mailing tubes. 24 by 2 inch. I plan on cutting them in half to create a total of 12 pillars. |
3-inch wood disks. 12 copies. This is the base. |
2.5-inch wood disks. Above the base. |
Corkwood adhesive paper. I have 6 but I should have purchased 12. grr. Math; how does it work? Miracles! |
The base of the 12 pillars. |
The tops of the 12 pillars. Um sloppy so be sure to keep the plastic end-caps. |
2.125-inch disks. These are glued to the pillars (tubes) and then to the base. |
All of the disks stacked. I make 12 sets. |
First attempt to wrap the corkwood paper. |
To hide the gap I glue a strip. Here is a pillar set upon the set of disks. |
Here's the top. Apparently a 24 by 2 inch tube is actually 25 inches long and 2.125 diameter! |
Here's what one pillar looks like next to the 1:18 scale (90MM) Roman. |
And here's the cluster of pillars. Maybe I'll paint them white after I paint them black with primer? |
I'm trying out the zenithal technique here; black primer at the bottom, gray at the top. |
These shots are at night. Anyhow, this is a lower shot. |
Cool so far mate very intuitive
