Fieldstone Ruin Printer Friendly Version   By PELLINOR - Dec. 31, 1969 measurements: 7.5x5x4.5" Block count: appr. 230 molds used: # 70 Fieldstone Wall # 63 Octagon Tower # 80 Dragon's Teeth (small columns) # 220 Wooden planks: floor, stair # 250 small bricks (the fireplace) # 240 wood shingle roof custom molds: * oct fieldstones * ruined fieldstones Plan & Construction: The octagon edges are made with pieces from the octagon tower mold with a fieldstone structure carved on them. I made a custom mold of these (see picture). An alternative method to get this design would be sanding basic fieldstones to the desired angle (what I did with the small arches). I also used a custom mold with ruined fieldstone pieces. The floor of 'wooden planks' is based on 3mm foamboard. Instead of gluing the stair to the building I gave it a support so it can be moved or left away. The floorplan is a bit tricky as the octagonbricks were not designed for a small tower and have odd dimensions when used in a smaller diameter. But the layout works good enough without sanding the octagon bricks. Paintjob: The paint schemes for wood pieces and for the fireplace are standard schemes: black primer/dark drybrush/light drybrush. For the main walls I first primed in black, then painted individual stones in 4 colors. Then I put thinned white into the spaces between the stones, followed by a white drybrush. I found that 'washing' in white has the problem that the spaces between blocks are so deep that the ink doesn't fill them so some of the spaces stay dark.   0 Ratings     12345      Public Comments Please log in to post a comment    You must be a registered member to post comments.
