Post subject: | Amon Hen Head Statue finished |
Bought the Forge World head statue, didn't know what I wanted to do with it. Thought about just doing another scatter terrain cd piece. But with what it cost, thought I should do a little bit more with it and make it a window sill or bookcase item besides a game board piece. Took my Woodland Scenics Washed Rock Mold, put it in a bed of rice to level it out and poured plaster of paris. Placed the statue on it to see how it would work/look and then carved the plaster of paris to fit the head on. Since the different types of material take paint differently, I covered the piece with artist gesso and then did a layer of grey craft paint. That is where it stands now, will put on hold while I ponder what ground cover, paint, trees, etc that I want to use. Added to the list of projects I have, currently at four underway, more awaiting to leave the always growing pile. |

Added several items I received for Christmas. First I received some woodland scenics fall foliage trees. Painted the trunks so they didn't look so plasticy, added some chopped up fall leaves to the bases and glued a penny underneath to add some stability. Too small for wargamming except to make a dense area, but work well for my N scale train. The reason I wanted them was for the fallen statue head as background on the base. A taller tree would be fro trunk vs tree in pictures. You might notice I smoothed out an area for a weary hobbit to rest. Before Christmas I had painted the rock part of the base and added some ground cover I had. I also received some Green Stuff World orange and brown micro leaves for a finer look of ground cover. Still have work to do on the head itself, the weary hobbit and adding more material to the base. |

Finished my fallen head statue. Went away from adding trees to the base, just couldn't get it right. Added some ferns, tufts and a gourd stem to the base. On my window sill. Just some shots outside. |
