Title: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: Golgotha on November 01, 2014, 08:34:00 PM: Inspired by the cage in the movie Willow I decided to start making this little piece of terrain. The cage itself is from some toy rest is scratch built with some plastic extra bits like skulls. Should have completed pics soon with paint and flock etc. Also still need to source a victim and build the bottom of the cage.

(Might have to borrow that idea for my own fantasy project)

Post by: Golgotha on November 02, 2014, 06:28:26 PM: Can't recall much about the toy other than it was from poundland and had a see through plastic box with various bits and bobs including a dead skeletal dragon which I have also turned into a terrain piece and will be posting soon. But making a cage would be easy enough.

Anyway pictures of now painted gibbet below.

Post by: madzerker on November 02, 2014, 07:49:10 PM: very nice, how did you do the grass, did you paint static grass or did it come that way?
Title: Re: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: DeafNala on November 02, 2014, 07:51:18 PM: It started with a TREMENDOUS potential & lived up to every ounce of it. VERY WELL DONE!
Title: Re: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: Golgotha on November 02, 2014, 07:58:21 PM: Thank you for the comments chaps - at least my photos seem to be getting better took these pics using a white box.

The grass is separate little hairs type flock. Put on by painting white glue mixed with paint - so that if any shows it looks like earth under the grass - let it dry and then tap off the excess.

All I need to do is add victim any suggestions for a suitable figure?

Post by: Golgotha on November 02, 2014, 08:26:35 PM: Might use GW Empire Flagellent

Number G and or 4 in this link: http://www.solegends.com/marauder/mm65flagellants.htm

With bells and weapon and maybe even chains removed.

Post by: matthais-mouse on November 02, 2014, 09:40:38 PM: This.... is ...... AWESOME. I have been looking for suitable inspiration for my own gibbet (for an empire themed game board) and I admit to be fully inspired by this master piece :D

As for a victim, maybe the empire chap from the giant kit, the one who appears to be running away?

Post by: Elbows on November 03, 2014, 12:17:00 AM: Awesome, and particularly perfect tones for the rocks and the wood - extremely convincing.
Title: Re: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: white knight on November 03, 2014, 12:24:19 PM: Splendid finishing! I have the same toy and some others from that series. A lot of the bits seemed suitable for use in scenery pieces.
Title: Re: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: HerbyF on November 04, 2014, 04:50:02 AM: I have the same cage, 3 of them actually. Have some of the other stuff from these set painted up too.
Title: Re: Torture cage - Gibbet now painted
Post by: Golgotha on November 04, 2014, 10:42:46 AM: Thanks chaps. Love to see what you have done with your bits HerbyF. I too it seems have another cage though that one has a slight annoying bend to it. Not sure what to do with it either.
