Title: G.I. Joe COBRA Temple?
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on 18 June 2015, 12:36:06 PM: I was looking for a cheap egyptian or maya pyramid (aquarium decors) and a cobra statue to do a simple G.I. Joe COBRA temple.

Maybe like this:

Wulfgar22 suggested a nice cobra statue in his topic:

Somebody could suggest some nice accessories? Thanks

It's pretty modular and the sides come off, which would allow to build out the interior as well. There is one big downside though (aside from pricetag, but ebay has some cheap ones) and that is that it only comes with 3 side panels, leaving one side open, so you'd have to look for a 4th pannel on ebay or such to complete it.

Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on 20 June 2015, 06:12:20 PM: Yes I yet know the playmobil pyramid, but the price is too much. I do not want to spend more than 15 euro.

I was considering these two:

size 14-14-11

Not an huge cobra temple, just a small outpost.

I was considering to use the temple of set by scotia grendel:

something like this perhaps:

Post by: HerbyF on 21 June 2015, 06:09:55 AM: I have one of those Myan Pyramids I looks really nice with my 15mm figures. A little small for 25-28mm though. I have some undercoats of paint on it, going to ad some texture and more paint.

You could probably use that as a mould and fill it with papier-mâché for a carvable lightweight cast.

Post by: Arundel on 21 June 2015, 04:42:54 PM: That Playmobil piece really is gorgeous--shame about the fourth side and the price.

The Monolith also looks good. Several years ago they were having some real customer service issues, however, so some caution might be advisable in ordering from them.

Post by: Mad Lord Snapcase on 30 June 2015, 08:53:50 AM: Eric the Shed has done a lovely job on the Playmobil pyramid. He bought two pyramids and then I bought the spare bits off him to complete mine. Maybe that's the way to do it, get two people together and buy three pyramids.

Post by: War In 15MM on 05 July 2015, 02:44:29 PM: The game Back Off Buzzard comes with a great looking step pyramid. Since it is a terrible/silly game, it can sometimes be found rather cheap. I got several of them a low prices years ago for my Aztec 15mm collection. They seem to have gotten more popular in recent years. By adding an additional raised based it would probably work for 28mm. You can see what I did with them at www.warin15mm.com/Aztec-Gallery.html

Post by: Eric the Shed on 11 July 2015, 05:17:17 PM: As Lord Mad Snapcase stated I used the playmobil pyramid to go with my Egyptian terrain setting...its well worth the money. I still need to the interior of mine

I think my brother is now working for our local pets at home (well, I know he works for a big chain of pets stores) - I'll ask him about these and if they have them I'll get one to send you Alex - I'll get you on Facebook when I know.
