The Tower of Prin’gl
Starting on details
No MDF or resin bits for me on this one, but I need to be starting on details such as windows and doors.
The curved surfaces of the two tubes make things a little tricky, so that kinda rules out card and wood (it doesn’t, but I didn’t think of a better way until after I’d finished this project !)
As I’m not great at sculpting, I turned to FIMO as I can spend time tidying it and then bake it to set it hard.
Using Affinity Studio, I quickly drew up a template for windows and doors that I could use when cutting rolled out FIMO.
I then had a go at rolling and cutting:
No problem, we’ll fix it in post!
I draped these around a mug so that they would bake with a curve on them, and FIMO baked at such a low temperature I wasn’t worried about the mug.
At the moment, these do look very rough, so am hoping that the finished result looks better!




I think the project image gives away the end result, and it looks excellent. Looking forward to following along and seeing how you ended up there.
