The Haunted Cross And Other Scenes...

[superflytnt]

I was sodding about with some Scenes of Despair (sounds better than terror and reminds me of the Princess Bride) and thus far, I've come up with the following:


"The Haunted Cross" is a Sculpey base, with a CNC Workshop cross that's been bathed in lightweight spackle for rust scale. The arms are off of a bunch of spare parts, painted with a light blue to look "spectral", a bit of airbrush to highlight.


Next up is the "Well Of The Damned", which is nothing more than a JR Miniatures resin-cast well with a giant, purple mass of tentacular goodness erupting from it's mouth. Again, it's nothing more than modelling clay turned sinister.


The third Scene, "The Tainted Well" is the second well in the JR Miniatures 2-pack of resin-cast wells, but this time set atop a Sculpey base. I debated with flocking and/or putting some moss on the steps a bit, but in the end decided against as I wanted it to look like a cursed hill. The blood in the well is blended, dark in the center and lighter as it goes outward but the picture didn't do it much justice. I had thought I'd use a Dow Corning Silastic mold-making RTV with a little red in it to fill, it looks better than the "Realistic Water" for these sorts of things. In the end, I opted to go with simpler due to the volume of work I had to do in order to get SA on the table.


The last up is my "Yig's Bonbons" scene. Someone here had posted a crate that's similar, in white metal, and they wanted around 15 quid for it. If you consider the price and shipment to the USA, I figured it would be cheaper to just make it.  So, I chopped tongue depressors in lengths and simply made it myself. There's cardboard inserts inside, painted with a black magic marker, in order to obscure the inside (and allow me to only paint the exterior!) and the limbs are from  Heroclix and Heroscape figures.

Some good ideas going on there.

You fellas are shaming me inton getting my own 'Scenes of *' finished.
My own collection is seriously lacking in that regard.



*Whatever you choose to call them.

Great stuff! I have to crank out some scenes of horror soon!

I really like the crate with the arms sticking out.
