Craftwar - Templar's Rest





The Templar's Rest Crypt Layout was designed to be in the Shape of a sword with the Entrance at the Pommel and the Lord Buried at the Tip. Other Templar's Would be Buried along the Sword blade with Two other Special Crypts of Heroes housed at the Hilts Guard.

                     

    

   

  

The Tiles were made from Cardboard, Sand was placed on the Wall parts for Texture and the Stone floor pieces are cut from cardstock.

                  

 The Mummy's were molded from Sculpty and then Wrapped in paper towel strips that were brushed down with a water/white glue mix, then a light flesh ink wash was applied. The Stones that the Mummy's rest on are balsa wood covered in sand then a piece of paper towel brushed down with a water /white glue mix. The Shields are old GW from my bits box. The Arch ways were made from soaking balsa wood strips 1cm wide in water for about five hours then molded around some wooden Disks i had. they had to set over night. The Stairs are Cardboard then textured with sand and Balsa wood Steps added. The Statue is a really Really old GW knight using multiple bases to build up, the Shield on the base was carved from Balsa.

Game Store $5 score



So i went to my Local Games Store ,(not really local but the only one really), and they had this big old box of Metal bits an pieces, so i said to my self "Self why not take a look" so i did, i located a few object i could use straight away and said how much for these, now this place has a habit of over charging on old crap so i when he said $5 i thought he meant each piece, i was soon was delighted and surprised  when he said all i had selected was $5 i yelled Score, a little man almost fainted by the way, and ran out like a little kid back to the car and showed my wife who was waiting, she said that was cool, how much did that big bag of stuff cost i said "that's not the bag your Looking for" and waved my hand. FYI big bag cost $150 but that is not my point what i got below was only $5 , there is some humanity left in the world, ok rant over must paint Stuffs
