Some pillars for the 'Complex Temple' scenario, and of course for general scenery.

3" Wilton plastic cake decoration pillars

$10 / 7 quid for eight on Amazon right now -- not bad.

Tempted to buy them.

Love the red color. What made you decide to go red ?

How heavy are they? I guess you can weigh them down internally some how if too light.

Wouldn't it be cute to like glue on some arms and weapons?

Nice!
The red, not something that I would have thought of, works really well.

Thanks

I decided to go for red after getting fed up with painting everything grey! Plus, being magical pillars that fight back (now why didn't I think of adding arms!?) I thought going for a different colour would be fun.

Jennifer, they're not massively heavy, being hollow throughout, but the bases are pretty wide (about 1") so they stand firmly. All I did to block the hole was lay some adhesive tape over the top, so that hasn't made it top-heavy.

Such a great idea! Now I'm continually eying the red paint on my desk wondering if I can do as good a job!

Sure you can - it's just lots of drybrushing

Been pondering what colour to paint my pillars (you know, those mighty 5 inchers I mentioned earlier...?). Problem now solved - copying yours.

I must say, yours may lack the size but they nicer than the ones I got - particularly the plinth and capital (or finial) - I looked those words up, by the way; isn't wargaming educational?

They look the bee's knees, jp - congratulations....

Doug

Ah, it's not the size of your column, but how you paint it

Finials eh? Learning is fun!
Cheers Doug!

Just finishing some little bits of scenery - not my best work (especially the corner pieces) but at least they're done...

Wow nice, love the bookshelves. Also how did you do those little ruins pieces? love them. Very nice detail!

Mason · « **Reply #190 on:** March 10, 2016, 07:38:01 AM »

Nice little additions, mate.
Full of character.

I think I spy some doll's house stuff there, too....

Ah, I cheated with the ruins - they're from the Italeri 1:72 scale plastic WW2 ruins set. Very disappointing in that the other side of the walls are hollow, so I had to fill them in with whatever I had to hand (bits of packing foam in this case).

Yep, some bits left over from when I made some improvised barricades for my VBCW stuff

Just got my minis in today.. the Frostgrave soldiers, GBP vikings & dark age warriors.

Wow they are much smaller than I thought. Smaller than average reaper mini. Glad I got them before I finished up all my ruins pieces.. I am thinking much of my terrain is kind of large scaled. Gonna be making smaller ruins pieces now to complement the larger ones and the new minis.

Guessing UK 25mm minis are smaller on average than reaper. is this right?

jp1885 · « **Reply #193 on:** March 10, 2016, 09:25:16 AM »

Yeah, Reaper are on the slightly larger side IMHO, but they still mix in well I think - my warband is largely a mix of Reaper and Fireforge/GB kitbashes and I have no problem with the size difference. Probably wouldn't hurt to make some slightly smaller pieces, but personally I wouldn't let it bother you too much

Lots of nice ideas, I especially like the red pillars & the table/ chairs & skulls on one mini diorama base. Well done.
