BSMALL2023 marianas_gamer Ice House

[marianas_gamer]

I decided that I couldn't miss out on this contest. I always use these contests to build something that I want in my games. In this case I need an ice house for a Gothic/Pulp campaign that will start in the Thousand Islands of the Saint Lawrence River between New York and Canada.

Cool idea 

[marianas_gamer]

Starting with a 6 inch diameter plastic backed cork coaster and a larger 1/4 inch thick cork coaster



The "basement" of the ice house cut out of the coaster and the first level cut out of the 1/4 inch coaster





First layer glued in place



Second layer (just a bit smaller) glued in place

Good start there mate.

Cracking start Lon

Thanks fellas! Here is the structure with 3 more layers and the building inspector to make sure that the stone masons are on the square and plumb.

[Vanvlak]

Good progress - the inspector must be impressed. 

[marianas_gamer]

The inner structure is finished and the facade is started with the door framed.



and the facade in place but unglued

Looking good Lon 

[Lost Egg]

Looking good. That's a nice texture on the cork, will you be keeping it or will you add something over the top?

[FreakyFenton]

That is a great idea! And I am looking forward to seeing it develop! 

[marianas_gamer]

Lost Egg,
I will spackle over the structure to give it an earthfast appearance. The fascade will be covered in cork "rock" to make it look like rough masonry.

[Lost Egg]

Sounds good.

[McMordain]

This looks nice.
