The Last Alliance

 


The Upper Floor

Day 21

Version 1.0 23/11/02

By Adrian Champion

Equipment Used

Mounting board/Artists card.

Balsa wood sheets.
Balsa wood rods of various thicknesses..
Thin card (cereal box).
Car body repair mesh.
A selection of pre-made plastic pieces from other model ranges. Notably the GW mordheim accessory sprue, and warhammer cannon sprues.
PVA glue.
Super Glue.
Sand.
Static grass.
Black undercoat spray.
Selection of paints.

Right, well the roof is looking so blank that I feel the need to start covering it with tiles. I have a horrible feeling that it is going to be a lengthy job.

Firstly I cut as many tiles as I could from a piece of cereal box card. Kellogg’s Crispix (that’s never getting through the spell-check) if such things are important to you.

I spent about 25 minutes doing nothing but cut, cut, cut tiles. At this point I was already losing enthusiasm for the job.

I started to glue them on. A line of PVA glue, and then one line at a time, working from the bottom up I began.

Neatness is not a factor here, the more ramshackle it is the better the effect. Whew. This one side alone is going to need more tiles than my bree building did.

Slowing down….. too many tiles…… oh god no…… shoot me now someone….

*Puff*……finished……*pant*….

Well its time consuming work, but this part of the roof is looking grand. Only another 5 sides to go.

*Whimper*
