[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Agyptian Temple¶

I applied the usual oil washes used for my Agyptian scenery to the model:

After matt varnishing the model, I applied the flocks as with the other scenery items. Why would flames be burning in a desolated temple, that fell in obvious disuse...? Because these are mythical flames of course! That is also why they are green and can never be extinguished.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Agyptian Temple¶

In the center of the temple I placed four pillars with a burning flame on top. Above them is the hole in the ceiling, so I placed fallen down parts of the ceiling, around which over time a small sand hill has formed.

Agyptian Temple¶

As I did not want the roof of the temple to be open to the sky, I constructed a ceiling from Hirst Art floor tiles. Laying them on their tops, I glued the tiles to each other. I then strengthened the construction by gluing a piece of cardboard on the underside.

Agyptian Temple¶

According to the building instructions from Hirst Arts, this is the rear center wall.

Which does not look right to me. So I changed it to the same top pieces as the rest. Here is the completed enclosure with the roof not glued in place (the top of the colum is still missing).

I again used a 5mm MDF base, bevelled the edges and strengthened them with filler. Then I applied acrylic caulking and spread it out in a thin layer.

This was the base for me using a Textured Green Stuff World Roller Pin for the first time. I used water to wet it, which was too much, made the acrylic too soft and took away too much material. But as I only wanted to have the pattern show through sand here and there this was fine.

On the still not cured acrylic caulking I placed the temple as well as four pillars with torches on top.

When everything was dry, I marked the width of the entrance to place some steps leading to it.

Then the base was sanded.

The parts are mostly done. I need to do two more castings to finish them.

I again use a 5mm MDF board for a base and bevelled the edges.

The edges were then strengthened and sealed with filler.

Agyptian Temple¶

I also have all the parts cast for a Temple and started constructing it.

I started by assembling the roof.

Next I assembled the walls.

Then came the columns.
