Nicely done and look particularly useful. I particularly like the stove and woodbox.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Thank you. I've finally figured out where I got the resin and metal furniture for this project: The Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company - excellent models and service.

That's where the stove was from with the woodbox crafted from coffee stirrers and twigs.

Moving onwards to finish another room in the Castle I wanted something akin to a drawing room.

Again using resins from the HLBS Company (see Kitchen build on page 8) combined with a scratchbuilt fireplace from TT Combat frames, costume jewellery, twigs and a GW Ogre head.

The resin armchairs came with little metal Queen Anne legs which I managed to glue to most of my body parts and clothing but not the chair itself.

Defeated, I made some small wooden frames from cocktail sticks and tongue depressors which seem to have worked OK.

Rug is some kitchen roll glued to card and a quick daub of paint - the pattern of the kitchen roll makes it look nicer in the flesh.



The start of the fireplace:

Re: Tap's Workbench: More furniture
« Reply #123 on: 06 December 2023, 03:52:10 PM »
Had a blitz on making more furniture and scatter from junk for the Castle.

Used a Dark Alliance War Troll as the basis for a statue for the centre of a worshipping room, wanting it to portray a giant winged vampire.

Used a couple of cocktail sticks for the teeth, replaced it's weapon with a GW Daemon sword and added the wings from the same demon then mounted on some circular bits of scrap wood.

I want to paint it as a white marble statue but not 100% sure yet.

Completed 4 altars from jenga blocks which will sit around the statue.

I've also tidied up a couple more of the Trolls, swapping the weapon on one and have magnetised the bases for storage - these do take some clean up as they're that soft plastic which frays when you try to cut it but a visit from a hot knife melted it to tidy it up.

Plus a variety of beds and furniture.

OOh tap, love your book shelves and tables they look fantastic. Some inspiration for my dungeon too.

It is easy getting on a roll making little books out of paper stock isnt it. I used coloured paper for the jackets to save on painting time too! :)

Cheers
Matt

Finished the last of the planned pieces for my Castle and Dungeon project although I might add small pieces of scatter for variation.

Completed Guard Rooms, Bedroom and Worship/Sacrifice room with central statue and altars.

Still needed a couple more reanimated beasts for my next project and did a similar job on these 2 as the ones before, namely hacking up some 20 pence toy dinosaurs and trying to hang a bit of rotting flesh/skin on them.

Impressive collection.  I really like the guard room terrain from the previous post too.  Nicely done.

I love these!

The color palette reminds me of the movie Annihilation.
