Mausoleum experiment

Now I have some better equipment I decided to try and get to grips with it with a smaller project. A mausoleum would fit the bill. I'll be able to use it for multiple game systems, fantasy, medieval and modern, and I can go to town on it and see what my equipment can do. I'll be using a hotwire cutter and some attachments for it from shifting lands
I began at the, well, the base.
The trick to build with the Proxxon and get better results is to work in layers. This creates more interesting surface.
I starter with to layers and drew a stone patern on these with a pencil. Then I created structure with some rolled up tinfoil and dabbed and rolled this over the surface
Then the sides. These are two layers. The first is mostly a simple brick pattern, again drawn in with a pencil and cut out the window.
I then added a thinner slice with some interesting relief on top of this.
Fun about the tools I use is that I can make one shape and then slice it into thinner pieces. A tenchnique that’s sure to come in handy when I’ll mass produce some projects

The front and the back. I wanted a door and something of interest in the back. I dug up an interesting mini I got in a goodie bag on a convention. I personally have no better use for it and this makes it not go to waste.
It will be a statue so I had to create a place for it.
As with the sides I made sure to have some depth to the facades to keep it interesting.
Making everything up as I went along, I started to get the hang of the proxxon cutter.
Then put it together. At this point the mini is just there for show. I will not glue it until it’s painted.
Note that, to make it realistic, I rounded all edged of the stone. I simply did this by softly scraping the side of my pencil along them.
I decided on the roof being fairly simple. No tiles, just metal. I can cut real smooth and thin slices.
Had some fun adding details, for which I raided my bits box.
It’s coming about nicely. Some finishing touches and this dude is ready for a layer of paint.

Thank you all for the kind words. I was able to put in some work last night and this afternoon and actually finished it. It sure was a fun litlle project.
After adding some beads from my wife’s collection on top of the collumn, I did some sculpting with putty, because it looked like they where floating on the columns.
That was basically the build. I painted it using washes and drybrushes. I experimented a bit with staining it, to make it look weathered a bit.
I’m happy with the result. Note that the staining seems a bit more extreme on the pictures than irl.
My new Hot wire cutter and the attachments are a definate upgrade to what I had and I’m looking forward to what I can do with it.
