so here is some of my other stuff. I appologize in advance for the pics. Sometimes the flash goes off and obscures things, sometimes it doesn't.....whacky.
Two sacrificial altars (or 2.5D pillars/columns with gold gilt)
Juice lids, black, grey, gold & bronze paint.
Tavern Table
My screen porch got a new ceiling last spring, and i ended up with some scraps of 1.25x3/8" trim, painted black. With my miter saw, and a little wood glue....table. I took some sandpaper to make some grooves, and chewed up the edges with my coping saw, brown paint washed over black stain.
Covered Wagon & Prison Wagon
Using dmscotty's prison cart method. The covered wagon is just two cardboard arches onto the same size and shape base as the prison wagon, the rag i used to stain the screen porch ceiling? I rinsed it in mineral spirits to get a blotched look, and hot-glued it (once dry) to the arches to make the covered wagon (i tried to angle it there so you can see the area that i started to run out of fabric...if you use a too-small piece of fabric, you get the cool droopy-roof look...but you start to get a tight fit on the wagon). The wife said i should pick up old 70's upholstery fabric from goodwill and make old-school gypsy looking wagons..but i dont have enough halfling bards in my campaigns for that.
The stone columns are small cardboard tubes used to hold the glow necklaces and bracelets at the dollar tree. We picked them up 4th of july last year. glued to pizza box cardboard bases. I should have used a washer or something for stability, but they work well.
My mausoleum. I use it for all of my generic buildings as well, but its first use was my halloween campaign, and it was a mausoleum. Simple cardboard with moss all over it. Cardstock door with painted keystones and captstones. This was before i found dmscotty & dmginfo on youtube, i wish i would have drawn the detail of the door and texture under the moss with hot glue. The stones are paint samples (one of those is the color of my living room...not sure which one anymore...). Cut the samples into squares, round off the corners. For stones it is wonderfully convenient, since they put complementary colors all on the same cards for you
