THE JUNKYARD ... POST #2




I had already glued the cake pillars into place in an attempt to make a raised demo board. The pillars were going to function as legs. However, I found out that hard way that the cake pillars were not strong enough or sturdy enough to do this. So I scrapped my original plan. However now I was left with a would-be demo board with cake pillars glued to it. So I figured I'd just make the best of it and make some kind of a board around the pillars. (The pillars were glued solid enough that removing them only caused them to break.)




So I decided that I'd build some kind of Gobber junkyard, with a now unused railroad line, that had cropped up on an old temple to forgotten gods of the Orgoth . Now, the Orgoth temples are dark scary places, but most of them are buried or raized to the ground. So I figured that the only things remaining might be a few pillars, and a broken staircase.




I started out by simply placing the large pieces of white scrap foam where it would fit on the board to fill space. Then I filled the remaining gaps and space by cutting the blue foam into blocks and gluing them into place. I placed a few jenga blocks around the edge to stop the foam from moving around as it dried. I also glued one of the Plaza pieces into place to function as what might have once been a staircase.


Now I was ready to add details and flock.
