BSC2023 Snitchythedog Chronomancrs shrine

Just what it says on the package.  A shrine to time based magic users.

This should be intriguing - I always ty to imagine what someone's stated build could look like. I have no idea what this will turn out to be, although it does promise to be cool.

Pretty sure there'll be a clocktower somewhere on this one ;)

Good luck! :)

I am currently in the middle of a fairly involved Frostgrave build that is likely to absorb any hobby time I might have had for BSC2023 so I will be watching this one with particular interest. Good luck!

While we are waiting I am posting some of my research.  As guessed I am doing a clock tower for my shrine.  I do not want to do a regular clock as that will not fit into Frostgrave or other fantasy settings that I play so each face will be loosely based on some real clocks not traditional twelve hour cycles.   
Posting some of my inspiration photos here. 
First face I will do a mechanical clock that is not a standard twelve hour day and incorporates some planetary or star settings. 
Second face will be loosely based on the Mayan long count calendar but not as detailed as my eyes will no longer cope with that amount of detail in 28/32 mm. 

Next will be a mechanical cylinder clock.

Last will be a bog standard sun dial

I also want to incorporate a dice tower since I am in desperate need of one.

A time piece to set the age liking the sound of this one.

That should be suitably monumental and worshipable (if it wasn't already, it's now an actual word :D )!

Just a first post of my efforts so far this morning.  The clock tower face is made of foamex that is textured with a stone and scribe to look like cut stone.  3d printed 10mm skeleton regiments from Etsy were added for statuary and I am trying cotton string stabilized with superglue for the decorative stone work.  The blank space will be where the clock face inserts.  As you can see the tower is open in the center as I am planning on using it as a dice tower.  Now I only have three more faces to do. 



I am hoping to finish the basic tower construction today but my wife is grumbling so we shall see.

Thanks for the nice words all. 
The speed!
I can't take credit for that.  I am using a balsa strip cutter to cut the basic parts. 

With Foamex it takes the time measuring and all that out of the equation.
