[WIP] Building of Ruins of Mordheim modular table

[quidamcorvus]

Ooh . . . this is going to be interesting. So many possibilities for a carousel in a haunted city full of haunted things!

Thank you. I hope by the time I'm done it'll be haunted enough for Mordheim.

Fun ^_^ I'm sure that's gonna look great when finished

Thank you.

The next step was to enclose and close the module in such a way as to hide the mechanism on the one hand, and not to hinder access on the other. And so I decided to fix the plate with neodymium magnets.

is that a mic on what looks to be the control board?

It's not a light sensor, it turns on the carousel when it's dark.

 

[ManicMan]

ah, that makes much more sense. I haven't seen photo diodes like that but i don't deal with them alot as most stuff i use which needs to check light has a solar panel so you can just double up ^_^

The next stage of work was gluing plaster casts from molds from Rotten Factory and properly cut fragments of cork.

Thank you. Yes, I have a small attic to myself. It's hot in summer, cold in winter - but that's a small price to pay.

After pouring and partially drying the putty gypsum, I scratched cobblestones in it, and from the column of skulls from HQ Resin and undead horses from Mantic I started to build a merry-go-round..

Why do i picture an undead Mr Rusty nearby?

good progress (and stamina). that looks amazing.

This is going to be fabulous! It should make a great centerpiece of almost any table you put it on. Mind you, the chaos gateway thing and the city gate will make stiff competition, but . . . I'm loving this!

What undead? Dear townspeople, this is quite a normal carousel.

Yes of course. Who wouldn't want to ride a carousel?

I built a roof of the carousel with coffee stirring sticks, to which I attached LED lanterns, and the whole thing was connected by columns made of plastic pipes braided with wire, to which I glued birch seeds imitating leaves..

Thanks for comment. You will have to wait a little longer for painting. I'm waiting for the construction of two more modules, and then adding details. But the work continues!

I decided to decorate the edges of the roof with bits from Games Workshop.

At the top of the carousel I placed a metal banshee from Games Workshop and plastic skeletons from Wargames Atlantic.

I also added a six-pointed star made of copper wire imitating a rope.

Springs to mid when I look at this amazing project/board.

It wasn't too bad.

At the end I added skeletons armed with scythes from GW, and the finished carousel looks like in the pictures below.

good to see another one done.

I really can't wait to see this whole thing in paint. Even in its raw state it's beyond fantastic.

After finishing work on the Carousel, I decided to put elements of the Garden of Morr model from Games Workshop on the last module.

And that's how I started work.
