another egyptian project

[opa wuttke]

Hi to all you lead adventurers !

I´ve spent the last 24 months with workings on a little egyptian scenario. Didn´t knew what it´s going to be some day, i´d fiddled around with one or two ideas and pieces of plaster (which soon began to become more then just some pieces  ).
Now it´s far from being finished but I think I can show it already....













The pictures aren´t that good...I was caught up in a kind of sandstorm 

Greetings

Awesome. I really, really like that. The gateway is superb. The angles and scale are all just right. The flagstones are excellant too, it all is, but I especially like the gateway and flagstones. Did you make your own moulds? or are they Hirsts or similar?

You say it is not finished so it is going to be one hell of a layout.

I look forward to the next update in 2010

Thats great. But there was no need to go to Egypt, set it up and wait for a sandstorm. We'd have been happy with pictures from your gaming room.

Awesome and inspiring. Now I'm completely sold on Hirst Egyptian molds for a lost world campaign.

[Ray Rivers]

Yep... Awesome is the word for it.

Very nice.

Well, I've been working on my own egyptian scenario for about as long (Umostly painting minis, though), so I know what you mean 

Those Hirst Arts moulds have been tempting me, too, but I stil cannot quite see myself casting up all that plaster... Very nice temple entrance, though.

Hurry up and get it finished. No slacking! 

The "WIP" is so good, that I can't wait to see it completed 

Fantastic work.

[Furt]

That looks really authentic - you've captured the feel of Egypt!

Can't wait to see u game on it.

All buildings indeed are casted with Hirst Art...
I bought me some molds on ebay 3 years ago and started to cast. At this time I did some other things (I got some more molds  ) and casted them casually for example if I´d set up to much plaster...I´d never had in mind to build a pyramid like this, because the efford with casting is immense. But after nearly 18 month it resulted in a nice pile of pieces...and so I began with the assembling.

If I had in mind to build such a huge pyramid in a short time I would have tried to find other ways to build it...or I decided to make my own molds. I started a trial in an other project with a self-made mold for pre-assembled pieces, but it wasn´t really succesful; after 3 casts the mold broke  ...expensive experience alltogether.

But I like all the little pieces like the sphinx, the hieroglyph-stones and all that...

I try to finish this in 2008 (hohoho  ... very ambitious my dear Wuttke...)....

can´t wait to see it ready !!! 

[Unforgiven]

This looks really good, Hopefully I get the pyramid mold for xmas...haha

That is ONE HUGE pyramid you have made !   

[opa wuttke]

Recently I made some more egyptian-style parts. I finished the second row of sphinxes and added an abandoned quarry to the bottom of the pyramid-plateau. Also I tried to build a little ruin which should be half drowned in the sand to get an extra desert-feeling.
I hope you like it...
