Title: older display: Vampire Graveyard
Post by: Lazarus Long on October 07, 2009, 05:56:14 PM

As I am currently have not enough time to finish neither my Freikorps and Rote Ruhr Armee-miniatures nor my terrainproject (1920/30s industrial cityborad and generic wargamesboard) I will show you a display I have finished 3-4 years ago.

Vampires are from Hobby Products (now at MegaMinatures) the formerly undead are part of Grenadier Horror Line (now at Miriliton) as well as the graveentrace and the urnes. Demonic statues are from RAFM (Death Angels), Rats from Essex and Bats are from Armallion.

The whole thing is made from cardbord and foamboard as well as filler and sand. Ceilings and plants are from railwaymodelling and WH40k bitz.

Nicely done.  Old models with an old school feel to it.

Excellent idea. They have something vaguely similar at GW's figure museum in Nottingham, where there is a multi-level "skirmish" diorama involving a house with several floors and levels of cellars, caves etc.

It's a great idea for creating a figure display in a limited space. I like how you've done yours and I'm sure we'll see more similar displays on the LAF  :D

I wonder if anyone might be able to do a WWI version with a trench system full of Germans and a Royal Engineer tunneling party digging a mine underneath?

I'd love to see something like that!

Nicely done. Does that bottom cave connect to the top via a cave or stairs?

Thanx mates for this positive respond!

@dr. x

You couln't see it really good at the pics, but the tomb opens to a few stairs to the right. Where the pic is done with the female vampire in front. But I didn't have done all the steps up to connect both levels...

Cheers
