More scenics

Done some more bits and pieces. These first bits in clay. I have found clay shrinks significantly as it dries, and this first image shows what can happen! I formed the shap around a plastic cup, and when the clay dried, great cracks appeared in it. I am counting that one as a failure, and using it to test paints.

So it looks like the best way to use clay is in individual pieces. Here are some Morrowind-style muck sponges, together with a couple of pillars and an altar.

And a giant statue head.

Another statue. The figure is from a range called Swampsterz, sat on the lid of a cocktail stick packet. The steps are disks of corrugated card with ready-mixed plaster spread on, and carved.

The is "Tower of the Sun Orb", which featured in an earlier post. Now painted (enamel paint to go over the shiny side of the card, with highlighting in mixed silver and black acrylic).

A tor, made of foam insulation covered in ready mixed plaster.
