Scratching up the Devil's Hop-Yard

[Bob Murch]

I found some interestingly weathered sticks and decided they would make an interesting antediluvian edifice suitable for summoning elder gods up from the abyss.

Other than gesso modelling paste, paint and white glue I used scraps of foam for the structure. This was definitely modelling on the frugal side.

Finally, some moody studio shots. Mr Lee and Mr Cushing to the set please.

A really wonderful creation, well done Bob

Great work
That could be a movie set

[Andym]

That's extremely well done!! Brill finish!!

Does it not weigh a ton though because of the rocks?

[Malebolgia]

...wow...this is fantastic. Terrific!

[Mason]

 

Superb.
 

Great work

It puts some movie sets to shame.

It doesn't weigh very much at all because it's just foam and dried out old sticks.

I consider weight to be an important issue for gaming models. The heavier a model is, the easier it is to damage it in transport. Hence, I do my best to only use light, but reasonably strong construction materials, foam core, balsa etc.

This is great! Love the subtleties in the paint job...how was that done? Oil paints? I need more information on this frightful piece!!!!

[obsidian3d]

Really dig that. Nicely done!

[supervike]

Very impressive!!!  Even before the 'mood shots'

A+ work, looks similar to something that a guy did at a GW shop I worked at, he bought a bag of tree bark, put it out in the sun to dry out then used it for scenery for rocks and such as it was cheap and light.

Did up an obelisk from an interesting piece of worm-eaten wood. I thought it would match the hop-yard and perhaps represent The Black Stone from the Robert E. Howard story or the same name.
