Had done this when I had left over curved pieces when I was doing the tower for my gondorian wall. Tree from a craft store for one of their holiday villages, stripped of foliage and dry brushed grey and white.

Image

Wanted to do something like this but needed less elfish columns.

Image

Used Hirst Arts mold 65 to do these columns.

Image

Went back to my goto mold 56 and built a floor

Image

Added new columns and arches (mold56 again)

Image

(as it is dryfitted, not all pieces align or made to fit)

Of course, what is a project without statues.

Image

A simpler one with just an entrance arch (column top is from mold 74)

Image

Without a floor

Image

Or maybe I'll just do a window or shelf piece.

Image

Not sure what I will do eventually, just was in a mood to play with plaster. Since not everything is glued down, will go into storage until I decide if I want to build something with the pieces.

Wow, this is sensational work! I think the tree and statues would be amazing as a diorama or something along those lines. Obviously, it looks great as a courtyard piece without the arches as it becomes more playable that way. I think the arches without many statues would look fantastic as playable terrain as well. Your approach of not committing to any particular plan yet is a good one and I look forward to seeing the final product once you decide.

Kuribo, you are right, columns with statues do not make a very playable combination. If I did do a game situation, it would be the tree with a ring wall but no columns or statues. I just like arches and statues!

Good use of those molds to make dome interesting terrain ideas. Thanks for sharing. I’m a big fan of that ruined tower mold myself. Though I never thought of a tree in the middle. It’s nice. :)

Where are you getting all these statues from?!
