Mythical Agyptian Terrain¶
I basecoated the sand in ochre brown, the structures in sand.
The base was then drybrushed in ochre.
This was followed by a drybrush of white over everything.

I then painted the skulls in white, the beetles in black with dark grey highlights, and the snakes and scorpions using the same colours as for the giant scorpion.

Mythical Agyptian Bases¶
I started to work on all the bases. They were painted in ochre and drybrushed in a bone white.
Next, some grass tufts will be added.

Mythical Agyptian Priests¶
For the icon I choose a symbol of Nekhbet from the internet and printed it. Then I tried to recreate that in a 3d version. I wanted to have the forward wing raised above the body, the rear wing lowered below the body, etc.
The first attempt was to carve it from foam. But this failed miserably. It would perhaps worked better with a hot wire cutter than a knife, but the edges especially were very flimsy and I did not trust them to last.
Â
The second attempt was to carve it from grey stuff. While the first layer went okayish, the second clearly showed that I have no sculpting skills whatsoever...
Â
So in the end I glued several icons on another layer of paper, and cut out the different layers, then gluing them on top of each other.
Â
The priest got a piece of brass rod glued into his hand to mount the icon on.

I sanded the bases and sealed them with watered down PVA.

The bases have been sanded and then sealed with watered down PVA. As my castings are not really perfect, there were some gaps here and there and a few air bubbles. To cover these, I put some filler into a jar and watered it down to a paste. This I then applied to cover the gaps, and then stippled the surface to try and blend it in to Bruce's blasted sand surface.

While shopping for some supplies with Green Stuff World, I discovered their Egyptian Ruins set and added it to my purchase. I based the pieces on the same floor tiles as the other terrain, blended them in with filler, and will now add sand.

Flat as can be! Once more it showed that keeping 'trash' is good for Terrain building :-)
In addition to the sphinxes, I built two moniliths and some pillars. The bases of the pillars allow for placing two pieces adjacent, and then placing an additional loose block connecting them.

Mythical Agyptian Terrain¶
Over the last months I cast Hirst Arts molds on and off, then and now. Among them are also Agyptian molds which I intended to use for the games with my Agyptians. Here is the outcome of the Temple entrance mold #98.
I started with the sphinx statues by gluing pairs of blocks using Legos to align them.
The pairs where then glued into the complete sphinx statues, again using Legos for the correct alignment.
Two years ago, our lavatory was redecorated, which resulted in off-cuts from the floor tiles. Which I of course kept, you never know... (my wife was not immediately convinced back then as you might imagine). Now I remembered them, and thought they might be good basing material.
The bottom is plastic with a grid, which makes the bottom somewhat rough. I hope this will help prevent the terrain items sliding around on the table.
Here is my first test piece. I beveled the edges and kept about 1cm flat around the base of the statue.
I now applied PVA glue and grit, currently the sealing coat is drying. So far it looks good concerning the material's warping vulnerability. If it is still flat tomorrow, this will be my basing material for this project.
