Raudulfr's Custom Terrain (update 8-25-2012)

[Raudulfr Shieldcrusher]

I made a new pattern for the tower. I didn't like the last one I made.




Here, I glued and wrapped the foam around the cardboard tube.



Then I cut a notch in the foam to fit around the top tile.




Then I glued the tower to a 7-hex base. I also used some castle pieces as a jig so the top and bottom tile would line up. Applesauce anyone?



Then I painted it. First with a base of black paint/glue mixture to seal it. Then with lighter shades of warm grey. I tinted a few bricks with more brown. Then a drybrush of white to top it off.




I'll post some pics of it on an actual board. Maybe attached to a castle . . .

Raudulfr the tower looks awesome. I think you should call it an AERIE.

aerie \EYE-ree\, noun:
1. The bird's nest built on a lofty place, such as a cliff or mountaintop.
2. A dwelling or stronghold located in a lofty place.

I have always imagined that the Kyrie would have strongholds without ground-level doors in order to the beasts out, and that they would be called aeries.

The one true use of Apple Sauce jugs.

The kids love the applesauce!

Thanks Will!

Interesting. One of the reasons I didin't like my first layout on foam was because of the windows.

Perhaps if you had used these in the windows and added a small light....sorry I am going on a tangent here

That's the thing. It started to look like something that wasn't "stong". I might revisit that design and incoporate the stained glass window look to a "interior" tower or a stand alone building or something.

Thanks Shogun! Heroscape has allowed my dormant artist to flourish.

That tower is amazing. The only problem is that I don't want to give up two 7 hexers. Plus I can't draw skillfully enough to make the cobblestone. But good work.
