Anybody remember the greyish-brown rock spires from White Dwarf and other GW publications from the 90's?
Just a couple years late to the party, I finally want to do my own.
I started with a sheet of 3mm PVC, cut to A4 size. Onto this I marked the bases of the single spire pieces, thus ensuring that they would fit into the A4 box I will store them in.
I then bevelled the edges with a knife. At this stage I also traced the edges of the bases onto the MDF sheet to know how to align the single pieces in the box.
For the actual spires I used 1cm styrofoam. First I cut strips in 3cm, 4cm, 5cm and 6cm width.
The strips I then cut into squares.
The squares I then cut freehand into random shapes, all roughly round or oval. I then eyeballed the middle of the 1cm pieces and halved them, getting two random thickness parts out of one shape.
I then stacked randomly both in shape and thickness the tiles onto another.
For bases with more than one spire I cut a couple bottom layers that fit the base before stacking the shapes.
