Terrain - New Games and old
Skaven Gnawhole - Finishing touches
I got some hobby chain and draped short lengths of it around the framework where it meets the uprights / legs to make them more solid. I was considering having the frame lift off, but see the whole thing as too rickety. I will need to store them carefully and they become quite bulky. As these are placed and removed quite often in a game I need to keep things quite robust.
Rather than use straps of thick paper as some kind of binding, I chose to try some metal work at the top.The bottom end of the insulin needle packaging is a solid round plastic piece that grips the three legs / uprights together. It was a bit tight so I split the pieces down the side and found scraps of the clipped packaging to cover the gap created. I made these as bases for spikes (the official ones have spikes so that seems to work.)
For one of the round plastic pieces I pulled off thin strands of kebab skewers, cut them up, and latticed them carelessly across the gap to look like laces. So this one will be a leather colour rather than metal.
Things are still drying but I am happy with the progress. I may still find an insence burner to add, but unsure if it's really necessary or have 3 available to use on them all.
Finished 1 of 3. Looks good enough to me.
The skaven head raising from the gnawhole nods to how they work in the game, bringing back rats from the dead when you take your licks. The axe and the bells are just for interest.Pastel Seafoam blue Army Painter SpeedPaint (ghost juice) was used on the head.
