Under construction

It turns out that this campaign I have joined requires us to have something to represent the entrance to our warband’s den, as well as a length of barricades.

Rather than have multiple posts showing the process, I figured I would condense it all down into one.

It may be helpful to refer to my Forest project, as a lot of this is really covered in there.

First, I made a tree armature out of pipe cleaners, and then I created a simple mound from XPS foam.  The idea is that the Den is under the tree.  I played around with some lighting to get a feel for how it could look.

I added a simple door and covered the tree in basing texture, any will do, before painting the tree with brown and grey spray paint.  I just used what I had available at the time.

I then attached a chimney and covered the mound with texture; this is just to protect the XPS when I spray the thing.

I quickly knocked up a very simple interior on 3D builder; it is nothing fancy, as most of it will not be visible anyway.  It is just to give the impression that the place is lived in.

I sprayed the outside with browns and greys and did the brickwork in the same way as I do the brickwork in my other projects, just with different colours.

I installed a small battery holder that I printed out in filament.  This is to power the interior light.

I then glued the tree on top of the mound and added some sand, cement oxide and PVA around the edges, and a bit over the top. This was then added to once dry with further ground coverings and moss in the same way as my aforementioned forest project,
