[COMMERCIAL] Tabletop scenery

[Captain Blood]

Bloody bleeding hell! 
That is simply gorgeous.
I agree the bottom bit alone is a pearl - would do very nicely as a stronghold for my Wars of the Roses collection. I fear the upper storeys would push it just a touch too far towards a fantasy-only setting.
But it is a superb piece.

I am very curiious how you've sculpted the individual blocks...

Ground floor interior, still missing some details:

Yeah where's the object source lighting effect from the torches on the walls eh?!   

Seriously good stuff - looking forward to seeing more!

[VoodooInk]

AMAZING!

[Tabletop World]

Thank you very much guys! We are really glad you like the model.

First we break a large stone into smaller pieces, then we use pliers to cut out small stone blocks. When we have enough material we start to build the stone walls like in real life. This is the only way to achieve natural look.

Yeah, we were thinking about it but haven't decided yet if we will go for it. The thing is, the whole interior should be way darker if you want to achieve the maximum effect.

When you break them into smaller pieces, what kind of hammer do you use?
Claw? Sledge, Rock hammer i woudl think but want to make sure.
As with the pliers. Do you use standard, grip, needle or what not? I would like to accomplish a similar effect as possible. ;-)

We use slate stone. Slates are very fine-grained rocks that consist of layers. We use a hammer and a chisel to split those layers apart. Then we use nipper pliers to cut the layers into small stone blocks.

Hope it helps.
Cheers!

and how did you make the wooden parts?
is it some modelling paste or balsa or what?

[mousy brown]

Well you can always order both the tower and a hill. 

DOH didnt realise that was one of your pieces as well...

  may have to sell something so I can buy something i think... )
