I found some interestingly weathered sticks and decided they would make an interesting antediluvian edifice suitable for summoning elder gods up from the abyss.
Other than gesso modelling paste, paint and white glue I used scraps of foam for the structure. This was definitely modelling on the frugal side.

Finally, some moody studio shots. Mr Lee and Mr Cushing to the set please.
-
Very nice, really atmospheric.
-
A really wonderful creation, well done Bob :-*
-
Great work
That could be a movie set
-
That's extremely well done!! Brill finish!! :-* :-* :-*
Does it not weigh a ton though because of the rocks?
-
...wow...this is fantastic. Terrific!
-
:o
Superb.
:-* :-*
Great work

It puts some movie sets to shame.

It doesn't weigh very much at all because it's just foam and dried out old sticks.
I consider weight to be an important issue for gaming models. The heavier a model is, the easier it is to damage it in transport. Hence, I do my best to only use light, but reasonably strong construction materials, foam core, balsa etc.

This is great! Love the subtleties in the paint job...how was that done? Oil paints? I need more information on this frightful piece!!!!
-
Really dig that. Nicely done!
-
Very impressive!!! Even before the 'mood shots' :-*
-
A+ work, looks similar to something that a guy did at a GW shop I worked at, he bought a bag of tree bark, put it out in the sun to dry out then used it for scenery for rocks and such as it was cheap and light.

Did up an obelisk from an interesting piece of worm-eaten wood. I thought it would match the hop-yard and perhaps represent The Black Stone from the Robert E. Howard story or the same name.

The prop situated on the set.
-
Bob! Wow. :-* :-* :-*
Words fail, it's just sooo perfect.
Thanks for posting this up.
-
Excellent! The stones appear really malicious and the stairs give the impression of beeing worn down by generations of worshippers.
That first studio shot almost looks like a painting.
-
I followed the progress on FB. The end result is simply stunning. And really creepy too ;)
-
Suitably nightmarish!

Ah, Face Book... We hates it, but understand it can be an important tool for sales and publicity.
Thanks again for posting up here Bob, it's much appreciated!
-
Gorgeous and nicely done.
-
Fantastic piece! :)
-
Very very clever and brilliantly executed.
-
Wow. The final product is really fantastic. What a great terrain piece!
-
Oh Well DONE That Man!!!
That looks like Extreme Peril Territory to my aged eyes!!
Thanks Bob!!

Talent always annoys me
-
Wow,
That looks pretty impressive, especially considering that you just used common materials (well a suitable piece for the monolith might be harder to find than the rest).
If I ever get around to playing some Mythos/horror games I might steal your idea for a nice piece of scenery :)
-
Very cool...
Time to go dig through the mulch along my side yard. Have already collected some pieces for tree trunks...a monolithic scrap would be a very nice find.
-
Aaaaahhhhhh.... It'll fly in a pinch... ;D
Kidding... Awesome. Can see it perched atop a Dunwichian clifftop!
-
Excellent. :-*
-
That is rather good, the mood shots really sell it. Great work. :)
-
Another scratch build terrain feature using a dried fragment of tree root as a starting point. It made a nice cave-like setting.
-
Beautiful work!
-
Aaaaaaahhh... so that's where they hop!
-
Wonderful :-*
-
excellent work and a great use of natural resources, the tree root is my fave but they all have the look of film sets
-
WOW :o :-*
-
Bloody genius idea that, old chap!

That Hop-yard inspired me enough to keep my eyes open for interesting sticks.
So much so that I found a very interesting one in the beer garden of the pub where BLAM was held.
I have it and now I need to dry it out.
Any suggestions as to which gas mark I should use...?
;) :D
