Somewhere near the Valley of the Kings
« on: October 19, 2013, 07:21:17 PM »




More at http://diplomatist2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/meanwhile-somewhere-near-valley-of-kings.html

This is my first attempt at the cardcraft Mummy's Tomb by Fat Dragon I downloaded from the Wargames Vault - in fact my first attempt at any cardcraft scenery at all.

It's rough and ready, but certainly has potential.  I'll have another attempt once I've got myself more card, but I think I'll dispense with some of the modularity, add another pair of wall sections to increase the play area and do the floor a different way (at the moment it's pasted to pizza bases).

That looks very good.

I never was one for card scenery in the past, but the art seems to have reached a new level lately.

That's a great little vignette. Love the walls.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Thank you again guys.  It's nice to get positive comments from people whose work has had me drooling on my keyboard  :D

Excellent work! I really like the way you painted up the chest. Well done.  :-* :-*

More serendipity than design. Really a sarcophagus from an unopened tomb shouldn't be so weathered, but hey, it's Pulp.  I was going to do my other Egyptian relics the same way (I think it would look good on a sphinx), but I'm *still* waiting on Black Cat to deliver  >:(

Looking forward to seeing more.

Looking forward to doing more and seeing if I can avoid the all-to-obvious-to-me errors!

It beats casting thousands of little bricks  lol

That's a great little vignette.

Thank you, I posted another one my blog earlier to showcase a gift that takes the project a stage further - http://diplomatist2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/a-new-gang-in-town.html
