The Great Oubliette of Shyish, part 3

I built and painted a photo backdrop out of foamcore card and scenery leftovers in a few days:

And then things... got a little out of hand... I made a second backdrop for photos, by repurposing a Mordheim pit-fighting arena I made in 2011 and adding a lot of leftovers from The Harrowmark scenery.

This is what it looked like before I started the rebuild. It was used for a "sub-game" between the main games of Mordheim in the campaign. Each warband sponsored a pit fighter and got bonuses if they did well. Lots of them died!

I have raided my scenery bits box to the point of exhaustion!

I've started painting it, so far I have: sprayed rattlecan black then zenithal sprayed Mechanicus Standard Grey. Dry-brushed Ushabti Bone. Agrax Earthshade and Athonian Camoshade washes. Balthasar Gold on the statues and plaque.

I'm going to add a lot more detail and weathering, especially to the metalwork.

I've also taken some more spooky filtered photos...

The most dangerous part of this project is the ideas it has given me. I am imagining a whole game board made of these boxes, to create an interlocking, modular, 3D game with built-in backdrops. So you would never have to worry about "off-table" objects appearing in batrep photos! It would really suit underhive or Space Hulk settings too....
