Luke warm in Libya! - fuel dump

[Digits]

Thank you chaps.

So, me thinks it fits in nicely.  I tried to make the well feel deep, hopefully pulled that off.

[Golgotha]

Gosh that is looking all lovely - do especially love the tents and well - cracking work and very inspirational.

[Digits]

Cheers fella.

Just thinking on other pieces I can do for this…..

As well as the aforementioned palm plantation, oasis pool, small rock clusters, barbed wire pieces etc

The odd vehicle wreck.

Irrigated crop

Maybe a Roman ruin in the sand?



Or a series of hard dug defensive lines like those at Tobruk?   Some great pictures showing how difficult to dig deeply it must have been!    I quite like making sandbags too, so pretty easy targets to make.



I’m open to suggestions too….

1) Supply dump
2) Parked plane(s)
3) Knocked out & burnt tank
4) half covered/uncovered Star Gate
5) Long column of POWs escorted by a lone armoured car.
6) Part of the (abandoned) French defense line (Algiers)

If you finish that little lot I'll see if I can think of anything else. 

[Digits]

Supply dump yes, and as I mentioned a few wrecks…but a “Stargate”? 🧐

…but a “Stargate”? 🧐

Yes. Very 'Pulp' 1930/40s adventure. You are already working on Indiana.

Once the gate is uncovered enough you can have Go-aould (?) or similar coming through it.

[Freddy]

Great looking scenery! Yes, it cries for pulp (does not matter if an actual pulp game or just an ester egg for historical), but with some antique stuff it could be used in ancient games too.

[Digits]

Well maybe not a star gate…but an archeological excavation yes….I have an idea…..

[snitcythedog]

Adobe ruins would always work. 

[Digits]

Yup…they look cool.  However they would perform much the same role as the ruins I intend getting

But definitely one to keep in the back pocket…cheers.

Never heard of Paul's thanks for the link. I might get those ruins too

[Digits]

Thread now officially combined with a little Pulp.

Not sure what happened with my Matt varnish…gone a tad cloudy, but I have Dr Jones.





And it wouldn’t be Indiana Jones without rickety looking scaffolding…..so to preempt my archeological dig site…pick axe and lantern from a set of tools I’d forgotten I had.   Plenty of shovels too so they will come in.   I didn’t realise there were diggers available from Artizan…..one to purchase no doubt.  Will get a set of right sized ladders too.  Now all I need to do is find a suitable Egyptian monument or entrance to set in a cliff etc…

Looking good.  If you want the rope lashing to look more realistic have a go with artificial sinew.  It is thinner, strong and once super glued it is hard as a rock. 

[Digits]

Cheers…tbh this waxed thread is super strong anyway and looks ok once painted.  My issue is simply I’m no Boy Scout when it comes to tying knots!   My granny would be proud though!

Objective for Indy…..snapped the side carry pole off one side as it was too brittle so replaced with a pair of steel pins….rope cushioning added with thread, I think they work.

David! You thought of Paul, but not Peter!!!
