The Making of a 1/56 Pyramid! Well a bit of one...
« on: October 10, 2019, 12:49:44 PM »
My latest FUBAR VSF scenario, the ‘Affair of the Long Lost but Now Found Pyramid of Dloser' is set to be played soon(ish) and not unsurprisingly it requires a pyramid! So to the workbench, I wanted something quick and easy as its probably only getting a single use!

The  apex of the Pyramid of Dloser can just be made out jutting from the desert sands in this the first photograph taken of it by S.O.E. Agent Edward Bigger on the very day it was discovered...


The starting point!


The finished product...I've included my S.O.E. Agent Edward Bigger figure (1/56) so you can judge the size of this 'edifice'...


Some historical blurb and pictures of the pyramids interior, yes it has a secret chamber check out my blog!

" Well they don't build them like that any more (thankfully!)..."

I was thinking the same thing; Agent Bigger is obviously made of sterner stuff than I!

Still, cracking good adventuring should follow.

Keep us apprised!

Thanks Guys!

On surfing the net for ruined Pyramids it makes mine look much better some are just piles of rubble now...seems there were even dodgy builders back then!!?

Interesting take on the subject; gold star for imagination.

Excellent build!
