Terrain Challenge: Summoning Portal
Part 2 - The Portal Frame
Had considered and eliminated several possibilities for how to construct the frame that would house the summoning portal. The main factors guiding consideration were that the portal frames had to appear close to identical, and the time constraints I would have for the project. In the end while I would have preferred to scratch build something, I opted to 3D print instead. This would mean the parts would be identical (at least until I started work on them) and while they were printing I would have capacity to get on with other elements of the project. So away I went. Printed 2 jobs of six column parts, superglued the sections together in groups of three to leave me with two pairs of identical columns. These were then primed with Army Painter Uniform grey, given a wash with a mix of airbrush flow improver and Army painter Dark Tone Ink, and when dry, given a drybrush of Army Painter Productname (Skull?…) White.
For the base I once again went for the 3D printer option. Again, printed 2 identical bases (cobblestone road sections in this case), primed in AP Uniform Grey and gabe a wash of flow improver and AP dark tone ink. Once this is dry I’ll give it an overbrush in grey and a highlight in white, and maybe stipple on some brown and add a tuft or 2 of foliage to break things up a little.
