Temple of Apollo - completed 19/2/2013 (Page 2)
« on: February 12, 2013, 02:34:34 AM »
Hi gang,

Just wanted to show off some work I've been doing as part of a trade with LeadAsbestos:



It is a Temple of Apollo for his Trojan campaign. There is going to be a bit more of a sun motif on the balcony side... but I'm not quite done with that bit yet :)

Still a bit of detailing to do, some greenery to give it a bit of life and away it goes :)

Here's a WIP shot:

Very well done, a simple but effective piece of atmospheric terrain - and scratch-built.

Again, well done.

It does look pretty fantastic, doesn't it?  ;)

They're thick, wooden crochet needles cut down to size!

That's it, heavy crochet needles i picked up from a textiles store. Same as the one on the doorway (but those are smaller).

The rest is built from blue foam bashed with rocks and other things. The structure being topped and based with masonite.

You will see a few more details soon :)

Thanks for the kind words, folks!

This is now 99% finished:





This is all scratchbuilt:



Curtain was sculpted in greenstuff, the censers are little plastic bits with pins for legs, and some basing material :) Apologies for the crappy pics, that flash is unforgiving.

Hope you all like it!

Great colours.

Where did the bas relief hail from?

It's a collection of musicians from the Xyston range. I sawed a few of them in half for variety, and filed down the backs of others. These were then pressed into the foam after a bit of prodding beforehand to make sure they fit :) Then I made a frame of styrene and that's about it!
