Red Gate Build(Update 23/6)
« on: 04 January 2014, 08:55:58 PM »
As a wee break from doing my SHIVA board, I've got a bit of castle wall to build for Mutineer Miniatures.

They already have a few wall sections based on the Red Fort in Delhi and I've got to make a gate house using that as inspiration.





I couldn't think how to go about it. The only way I can think of doing it is in Blue Foam. I've given it a lot more texture than the real thing so that it'll paint up easier than a direct copy. I'm going to make it in two bits, this bit and a top walkway that'll sit on top of this...

Definitely going to be watching this with interest, your projects are always a treat and something like this could really dress up my tableful of "generic tropical buildings" for pulp and Interwar NWF goodness!

No Eric. I just use my trusty pencil and ruler and slightly mark the foam. The hardest part is cutting 'straight' down, but I use a big 'snap off' style Stanley blade and that helps.

Cheers gents!
