What am I doing? The Sept of the Seven Hells

[sukhe_bator]

Very much looking forward to seeing this develop

[Hammers]

Six of he Seven in their places. I intend to bash the Father and the Smith eventually. It is rather tricky to get the masonry arches properly in place. I am currently trying brass wire armature and Das Pronto clay to fixate them.

I'd like the forum's opinion on something: I have put a few GW bits heads as grotesque carvings above the pillars. My thinking is that that the people of Westros would use the demons they know as grotesques. I am using a zombie head in a noose for house Trant, an ogre head as a giant, and witchelf head as a child of the forest (with further leaves and elaborations it could be made to look something close to the Green Man of ourworld church ornamentation). I have just put them roughly in place to get an idea what it will look like.

So, what do think? Will it only make it look warhammerish?

Will it only make it look warhammerish?

While normally, I would say 'yes', a distinct lack of skull iconography and your superior terrain making skills will ensure that this is not the case.
Looking really good so far...

I think really suits mate. Love the concept and really looking forward to seeing it complete 

What colour are you doing the stonework?

cheers

I think, once it's all blended in together, it will look fine. Don't think the Warhammer bits will notice that much. Just add to the overall ambience...

Sandstone, but heavily darkened and stained with green algae.

Another thing, which I am quite happy with but am not sure came out very well in the LPL entry, is that each god has a copper verdigris attribute. I may have been a bit heavy handed with the hilights, making them blend a little too much with the sandstone. I was contemplating gold but figured that would have been looted long ago.



If any one is interested:

The Maidens virtue is guarded by a copper dragon.
The Mother cradles a copper babe in her arms.
The Father holds the copper scales of justice.
The Smith rests his hand on the handle of a copper hammer.
The Strangers face is a mask of copper.
The Crone holds her copper lantern.
The Knight is off talking to a man about a dog. I assume he carries a copper sword.

Nice  

I think the copper would need darkening down just a touch.

Regarding the 'gargoyles'... Go for it, Sir.
They will blend in just fine when you paint the stonework and add to the creepiness of the place.
Nice.
 



As for the statues....I must confess that the subtlety of the copper went over my head in the original pictures in the LPL.
They add a really nice touch and I think are a rather clever addition to add some colour to them.
 




As for the Warrior; I assume he is having a word with the man about his dog peeing on his feet all the time.

Lovely stuff Peder. The verdigris is a great touch 

It's probably too late, but if you want one more statue or a bit more set dressing, I have one of the 'Pure Evil' resin figures, as seen in 'The Jelly Bean Cult' - ZaZjurman's current entry in R7 of the LPL...

It's no use to me, so let me know if it's any use to you and I'll pop it in the post along with your kangaroo etc

You are generosity personified. But, no, I like the assymetry of one statue missing. It adds to the disharmony of the picture.

You may very well be right.

This reminds me of an old joke:

For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, have stood facing each other in a city park until one day, St Peter walks by, as he is prone to do. "You've been such exemplary statues," St Peter said, "that I will, for one hour, bestow upon thee the gift of life, during which time you may do whatever your hearts desire." And with a clap of his hands, St Peter brought the statues to life. The two approached each other a bit shyly and then grab each others hand and dashes for the bushes, from whence there came a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes with wide grins on their faces. "You still have fifteen more minutes," ejaculated St Peter, winking at them. Grinning even more broadly, the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "Great! Only this time you hold the pigeon down and I'll shit on it's head!"

[Captain Blood]

Brilliant!
