| Post subject: | Hanging on the wall |
I wanted to do a little something different with my dios and of course space is always an issue, so I decided to go vertical. I didn't want to just hang a rock on the wall so went the casting plaster route, that way I could mount the materials on the wooden base. Best part is if I get tired of looking at it I just change the figures around for something new. I'd like to do a couple of these to hang next to each other. Maybe go with a different environment as well. Let me know what you think.

That is exceptionally bad-ass. Not only is it a cool-ass idea, but you did an outstanding job making the terrain look realistic. I don't suppose you have any WIP pics, do you? I've got those same rock molds - I gotta give this one a try -- thanks for the idea! |

Thanks. Sorry, I don't have any in progress pictures. I wanted to keep my camera as far away from the plaster as possible. I'm kind of messy and that stuff gets everywhere. |

It looks AMAZING. Only critique would be that's a lot of wall space with relatively little space for figures... but that's just a minor gripe. |

This is very, very cool. So you just used the rock molds that you find at Hobby Lobby? |

I really like the idea and it look s fantastic. I do agree though that for your next one you add some more ledges, maybe a cave or over hanging, and have some vertical cracks in the rock face to use for more hand holds.

Thanks everybody. I'm pretty pleased with it myself. I need to hang this one up and stop messing with it. I have a bad habit of finding those little imperfections or wanting to add that last little detail. Crosshair wrote: This is very, very cool. So you just used the rock molds that you find at Hobby Lobby? Correct, the large areas are rock molds, the rest is poured plaster that I worked by hand until I got the shape I was looking for. I will have somebody take some WIP pictures for my next one. The Artic cave. Added another shot
