Carcosa District. The Mausoleum Part 1

With the majority of Carcosa District built ( other than... and some scatter terrain) I have decided to break up the project and start with the scenarios, completing the buildings and components and then figures for each one. This will mean I can see some real progress and start playing quicker (now adding war band to the list!). First off is the Mausoleum

initial construction. cardboard with BBQ skewers to reinforce the pagoda walls and half a foam ball for the dome. plasticard base

Completed Building. I wanted to give this one quite an aged and bruised look as if time had taken its toll on the building itself

The Base paints are  B&Q Wallpaint Matt Soft Yellow, Goodhome range Westminster and Aravaca, GW Agrax Earthshade, Reikland Fleshshade and Nuln Oil

Detail of the texture of the walls and base.

I might go back and remake this one and add a removable top at some point

For the city base I wanted something quite plain so to maximise flexibility and allow the for the buildings and scatter terrain to lie flat. 

Following an idea from one of the terrain groups on facebook, I managed to get hold of some textured wallpaper (Pietra Textured Heavyweight Italian Vinyl from the Range)  

I have cut out a couple of squares and added baking soda to adds some extra detail and variety.

First four tiles ( they are 25cm by 25cm) and the Mausoleum and a skeleton warrior to show scale

Completed tile.

While waiting for paint to dry I also revisited the treasure tokens I had made up and repainted them to match up with the new colour scheme

Unpainted treasure tokens, rolled up paper for scrolls and some pieces from my bits box

Initial paint job awaiting snow

Repainted bases and the tokens darkened up
