* Silent Invader's Build Something Too - Sentry Rock (28/9 WIP finished!)

[Barry S]

As with all your projects SI, I'll be watching this with interest

A nice looking feature in plan.

I was expecting to see piles of coins for the base rocks... But FOAM!!

I'm curious as to why you've chosen to use foam. It's not exactly something I would think of using to build rocks with. But otherwise if it follows the standard on the rest of your stuff, then it's going to be great.

Ok, now I'm really intrigued as to see how this is going to turn out. You could just have stumbled on the next modelling secret - if it works that is, as which wargamer doesn't have tons of foam lying around?

[Barry S]

Some may find this link interesting regarding the use of foam for rocks:

I have another link somewhere that I found some time ago which also has a tutorial regarding the use of foam as rocks but this site shows what can be achieved using the soft, spongy foam often used in lounge suites. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it in my favourites...

I will post the link if or when I come across it.

Cheers,

Barry

PS: Looking good SI

[Malamute]

Looking great already

[dijit]

Great link there Barry! I'm looking forwards to seeing how this turns out. Like you say it looks pretty good, if it'll turn out hard as well then it's something that is going to have to be experimented with.

any plaster board jointing compound to hand

that's just normal filler surely? watered down a fair bit probably... I like the strata they've achieved...

[Barry S]

Glad the link was useful.

I'm chuffed it's Australian as usually these types of things are from other parts of the world and we need to try and find local alternatives 

The other link I referred to in my original post was American and I still haven't come across it

Man I wish everybody else posted so many pictures of their works, builds, paints or other wise. (that includes myself as well)

[Sir Dryden]

No no no, MORE images, we need MORE images

I really like your structure. It would look right at home in my neighborhood .

Yours truly,

If it were made out of corrugated iron and had the battalion's name spelt out on the ground in front with tiny whitewashed rocks, it could almost pass as a Boer War blockhouse. Inspired by you, I was thinking of throwing my hat into the ring and building one of those, but two things stopped me: 1) I can't be bothered. 2) I don't currently have a camera, so there's no point anyway.

Looking forward to seeing the finished result. 

[Captain Blood]

two things stopped me: 1) I can't be bothered.

That is indeed a persuasive argument... 

But it would be a nice to see a Plynkes-built Boer War blockhouse... 

[gamer Mac]

Lovely stuff SI
Really coming on a storm.

[Malamute]

Yep, looking great with every new photo
