Towering Ambition

May 2005·pp. 106–111

THE SHORT VERSION

Adrian Wood builds an Arnorian watchtower from a round polystyrene box, wrapped card pillars and a removable domed roof, with an alternate foamboard core for those lacking the original container. A layered hill, inset stairs, doors and masonry details make it both an evocative centrepiece and usable terrain, finished through distinct rock, timber and weathered stone painting stages.

Modelling Prince Rodrik and His Band

Questing Knight torsos and older foot-knight legs create the dismounted adventurers, with Lizardman and Amazon weapons showing their stolen equipment. Rodrik’s mirror shield uses chrome leaf beneath a prepared ink layer, while putty packs, a Saurus-hide cloak and muddy blue-and-white heraldry give the group a shared expedition-worn identity.
