Post subject: | Cardboard Dol Guldur |
Went old school terrain making with this. I had posted this on Instagram but forgot to repost here. Using the old Fall of the Necromancer Source book I decided to make the Dol Guldur tower they had in it. Using one evil empire (amazon box cardboard) seemed appropriate to do this. Plus I didn't have any foam board on hand. ![]() ![]() Used cardboard and coffee stirrers for the tower. ![]() Used the guide in the book as a guide but made the base piece a little larger to fit figures on it. Also added aluminum foil to the sides to give the cardboard some texture. ![]() Gave it all a spray with gloss black paint. ![]() Wanted the black aluminum foil the appearance of obsidian, dry brushed some grey on it to make it stand out more. ![]() Didn't adjust the height of the base and door for figure height. ![]() All in all, not too bad for using cardboard. Did have one casualty though, dropped my necromancer on the hard concrete floor of my workshop and bent his helmet points. ![]() |

I can't say I'm a huge fan of GW's interpretation of Dol Guldur, to be honest, but it seems like you did a good job with it. I might have spackled in the corregated edges but from looking at the pictures I think it looks fine without it, and the corregation actually adds some interesting texture. Did you have any trouble painting over the aluminum foil? And is it a display piece, or is a scenario happening soon? |

I thought about filling in the edges but honestly just didn't want to spend the time doing so. The only problem with the the foil was that I used really cheap stuff and it ripped too easily. Spray paint went on fine and dry brushing was easy. Not a display piece and I don't know if I will keep it long enough as it is taking me forever to paint the white council. |
