Title: My Basic Egyptian Tomb.
Post by: Prof. Dinglebat. Phd. on April 01, 2013, 07:35:52 AM
A quick slap'em'up Egyptian tomb made of a cork tile as the base, (6 in a pack at home depot stores, ours is named Bunnings) and a hobby pack of balsa wood blocks. A couple of cobras and a sphinx from the $2.00 shop. The pics on the blocks are a combo of stickers from an Egyptian book scored at a seconed hand charity shop, (Yes I've been doing this for years)  ;) and art work by your's truly.
 
The car is a 'Models of Yesteryear' diecast with every conceivable barrel, box'n'bag I could find to make it into a suitable traveling jalopy.

Nice set up. Quick and easy plus allows you to game on it pretty quickly.

I like the giant cobras; have you painted them in anyway or are they as bought?

The car is pretty awesome. I love all the additional gubbins that you've attached, really makes it look the part.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Cheers
Andy

My wife works at a craft store called Joann's Fabric and I saw these toys called Toobs. They are found on Amazon and other places, there are quite a few of them that would work well with many games.

Here is one of Egyptian pieces: http://www.amazon.com/Safari-LTD-Ancient-Egypt-Toob/dp/B000GYSZES

I ended up buying an egyptian chess set on ebay which gave me roughly the same thing, though not at the bargain prices those are. :)
