Title: Bone wheel complete 15/06/19
Post by: snitcythedog on June 02, 2019, 12:43:25 PM
One piece of terrain that I do not have and do not have a proxy for is the bone wheel.  I have seen several on different forums and though spectacular, either I cannot get the parts to make something similar or they are not robust enough for my tastes.  Here is the start of what I am working.  So far made up of Fomex and a Green Stuff World stacked skull plate.

Step by step on my blog.

Looking good! Some of the pieces I've seen look a little bit too much like the halloween skeletons that they are made from, yours looks more like a proper terrain piece in the right scale.

Just a quick update.  Have used boiling water to bend some of the stacked skulls to make a plinth for the base of the bonewheel to stand on.

Next I have mounted some skellies onto wagon wheels and added clothing for each of the faces.

Letting everything set then I will start building the frame and plinth.
Nope you like.

That's all looking spiffingly macabre!

Mind if I add a link in my Completionist's Guide to your thread, so others can easily find this inspiring work?

Construction of the base is complete.  I still have not decided if I will magnetize the base or build the scaffolding on.

The scaffolding still needs some work but it is close.

I will add some details to the base of the scaffolding and to the base.  as it is looking a bit vacant.

Bone Wheel construction and base coat are done.  The topper is magnetized so the dais can be used as a stand alone structure and I can make different toppers.  It will receive several oil treatments before completion. 
Here are the individual components.

I updated the Scenery Guide to include a link to your thread.

No, no, you don't have to thank me... But I wouldn't say no if you built me one as well! :D
Nahh just kidding, but seriously well done!

When I first read the scenario, I struggled with the concept. I couldn't picture anything that wouldn't look silly, yours looks incredible and it makes sense! I hope I can do one for myself sometime soon.

Pretty much done.  Oils have been applied and felt has been added to the underside of the flat surfaces.  Have to wait a couple of days before I can seal it up.

Played the scenario tonight.  Only six members of either warband survived.  At the end we had more monsters on the board than we had models in play.

The Ghoul King came in as a random encounter with his retinue and caused mayhem.

Bone wheel indeed, that is a stunning centerpiece to your battlefield.
