 Ruined Tower  

By DEEMOCO - Dec. 31, 1969

Molds used were the ruined tower, small round tower, and bits that fitted from others temple etc (bear in mind that i just built it as i went and had no idea what the result would be until finished).
I have and made no drawing plan but refered to pictures on GW forgeworld site of their 200 quid model.
I just cast to death the two main molds for about 3 days and went from there making extra casts when needed. I built the base first and then worked an area at a time laying the blocks first and then glueing when i was happy with how they looked.
Most of the decorative parts were added to cover any gaps that needed hiding.
The rocks around the outside are polystyrene covered with a thin layer of the brick plaster (brushed on). between them is a mix of glue and sand and cat litter.
i left the outer and some inner black so the model can be mountain top or sea based for gaming. i primed the whole lot black (two to three coats) and then started with the rocky outer highlighting up from a heavy drybrush of base grey to a gentle drybrush of white.
same principle for the stonework but used browns as i wanted a contrast from the grey rock.
I did want to put the remnants of a roof on but eas very happy with the look i had so i stopped, so although it is based on someone elses model it is primarily individual in its own right.
Thats about it for the making other than to say i broke the blocks with small pliers and cut others with a knife to fit where needed.
The model itself is basically oval measuring (including base) 14inches wide x 12 inches depth x 6 inches high.
i have no idea how many blocks went into it but without casting it took me 3 days to complete about (24 hours work time).
