I have been lax and not posted for a while. But I have added to my Columns.

The columns look great, I saw a mixed bag of bobbins on a site and thought they would make good columns but couldn't figure how to texture them so didn't buy them.
If I had seen your imaginative efforts first I would have. Good idea.
Cheers

If you want a simple way to do something similar, get some of the wooden spools from the craft shop. Find a good pic that can easily be tiled of a good marble pattern and print off a full sheet of it. Cut it into strips the width of the center section of the spool.

I tend to then use a dowel to stack two of them along with adding a slightly wider wooden base. Paint the entire thing in a stone or metal look you like (I just used gold). When the paint is dry, glue the marble strips over the center flat areas of each spool section with a glue stick. When the glue cures, hit the entire thing with a layer of varnish, then a gloss coat over the marble sections.

They look great for columns

Hi SotF Sorry I'm being a bit dense here, do you have a photo of what you are suggesting because it sounds like you are getting a good result. I'm not sure that you should post it on here unless MalcyBogaten is OK with that, I don't want to hijack his thread, otherwise you could stick it on one of my game threads.
Cheers

I don't mind. But a bit of explanation with pics may help.

My method is fairly simple. After all what you need is a block of wood and labels.

But I like to see other ideas.  :)

At the moment, I don't. Lent them out to a friend for his D&D game. I'm thinking of making more of them anyway when I have a few days without little kids around that I don't need to keep stuff up and away from them since my work room is about the only one with spaces for their playpens that they sleep in...

A new Bridge I am working on. Made from a pin board from Poundland and other bits from the spares box.
And this guy who just turned up!




Many bits from Hornby and some toothpicks. As if you didn't know!

Thank you Mr Phipps. :D

Here are a couple of things that may interest people.
A kinda Huge Missile made from T-Bird 3 Diecast and spares for the Launch platform.


And some cheapo Dinosaurs that make fairly good Raptors. After painting. B&M in the UK.

Re: Jaffa bit of a relocation! Far! A bit of a Departure?
« Reply #42 on: May 26, 2018, 04:50:15 PM »
I watched a game on YouTube recently.

Called Far. I liked the look of the vehicle. I had a 00 train body cheap in the spares.

This is what I did.





Not finished yet. But I like the start.
