knarthex Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 So after doing the Graveyard Archway (03684), I had thought that a double sided version with the ability to change the picture would be the thing... So using the Gothic Archway as my base, I used my Dremel tool to cut a groove on the inside to fit the blister plastic holder and space for the pics. The fit is terrible, as I went to far with the groove, but I decided to keep going to learn any other pitfalls in this project. I primed the 2 parts, then drybrushed with multiple greys. glued in the blister plastic, added a little bit of greenstuff and glued them together. Tonight I added some Apoxie Sculpt to try and fill in some of the gap around the outside. I cannot close the gap in the arched part, as that needs to stay open to put in the different pics. If I do this again, I will cut the groove, but instead of blister plastic, I will just use the home laminator on the pics so they can slide in and out... Comments and thoughts?

Kheprera Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Would be better if the pictures slid in and out from the bottom I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are likely right, but I plan on putting it on a base, which would make it more difficult to do it that way. And for this one, to late. .. 8 ( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosercanadian Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I don't think a base would be too much of a problem: cut a hole in the base too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted April 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2016 Interesting idea. It's probably a lot more work, but is there any way you could put a 'handle' (that matches the archway) on the top of the pictures to help fill up the gap when the picture is inserted?

knarthex Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Added a base made from an old GW Cav base and some green stuff, quickly cut to stone shapes.... Then the 4 color drybrush, followed by a wash of Secret Weapon Stone... Will do another round of dry brushing tonight... George 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pochi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarthex Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thank you kindly! I need to find a good pic or 2 to put into it. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDizzO Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Something that came to mind after reading the comments is you could attach the base to the pictures rather than the archway. Then just slide the archway over top. Cool idea as well, I can see many uses for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
