BSC2020 Blackwolf The Tower on the Hill

[Blackwolf]

And the tile is coming along, making sure there's no holes...and getting ready for the fish.

Me too! And now very intrigued by the fish ... ??

This is promising to be one cracking build! Can't wait to see the end result, which should be suitably gloomy as mentioned. The idea of having branches growing through the building is pretty cool and will undoubtedly add to the abandoned and ruined atmosphere.

Ah, the joys of hacking away at a block of Styrofoam, then trying to find just the right little bits to glue back on to create the undulations you’re after... I know it well 

Oh yes, I am in the middle of it right now; I'm doing an entire table with integrated hills and cliffs. I accidentally bought a new pack of boards 5cm thick instead of the 3cm I was working with. All kinds of necessary puzzling with the cut-offs I still have of the old batch going on now, to prevent having to shave 2cm off the new foam...

That!

Fantatastic looking base. This kind of progress makers me feel like am falling behind...

It will have been such a nice tower and beautiful site. What could be the story behind it's demise?  Looking forward to the final moody cinematic pictures.

[Blackwolf]

Thanks all Hope I can manage to get what's in my head,into miniature, so to speak.

Tree is almost done bar the leaves;

Excellent progress - this is going to be stunning when it’s completed

Thanks mate

First resin pour is in,this is crucial to do before finishing the tile, otherwise one gets a highly out of scale meniscus.

I'm still waiting for the fish

Also "out of scale meniscus"

    There is a Northen Pike already in there.

With the various water mediums,such as resin,you get a meniscus that curves up at the edges,way out of scale for true water. I hide this edge with plants,et cetera

I was not aware of that definition of meniscus!

the convex or concave upper surface of a column of liquid, the curvature of which is caused by surface tension.

[Blackwolf]

Yep,I guess different liquids have different effects on surface tension

Second pour;
