Moavoamoatu Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hello, I know it's a miniature showcase forum but when I don't paint miniatures I make sceneries for my wargames. Here is the latest one for Alkemy : You can see more photos here : http://alkemy.webkido.com/index.php?topic=407.0 and my Alkemy miniatures here : http://alkemy.webkido.com/index.php?topic=401.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moavoamoatu Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 yes all the buildings are scratchbuilt except the statues (some are from miniatures manufacturers and others are fish tank sceneries repainted). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moavoamoatu Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Do you use Hirst stuff, or molds for all the bricks? No I create them with a pencil as it is polystyrene. Have a look at the WIP : http://alkemy.webkido.com/index.php?topic=373.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moavoamoatu Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Very cool indeed! How modular is this, as well as other terrains that you do? All my terrains are modular. It's easier to pack and offers many ways to place them.

DeafNala Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I love painting minis, but making scenery is a passion, especially for gaming. Any game that's played on a table graced with scenery like you've created would cease to be merely a game & become a theatrical moment, a memorable event that could play through the imagination for years & never cease to be a delight. Thanks so much for sharing an inspiring creation. I'm going to be coming back to this thread for a LONG time. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moavoamoatu Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Do you have any pictures showing how you did the rounded roof pieces? If not, could you make some more, and take pictures and share? Here we go (I took pictures today to show you as I didn't during the construction of the temple): You first have to draw lines on the extruded polystyrene (don't know the US name for it). Then you should cut the edge with a cutter (I didn't do it on the picture). Use an electric sander at the lowest speed with medium sand paper to create the curved shape. Just follow the lines you draw. Once it's done use thin sand paper (manually this time) and you are done. You just have to draw the tiles and the cracks with a pen or a pencil. Don't foget to always use sand paper on the polystyrene if you want a stone effect and to ease the paintjob. If you have any question just ask me.

Art-de-Vivre Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 This is stunning ! I recognize the Angkor Wat style immediately since I've been there twice. I have thought about doing something like that myself, but now... Great job ! btw, I'm in the Paris area now, where are you located ?
