Not really that big, and yet again, sorry Red, it will be a bit broken.

@ Red, thank you, I am going to go back over most of that terrain. Now I have the juices flowing. Might add a few river sections, though I don't really know how big I need a river to be for this scale.

OK Bit more done on the current distraction.

Theme is "name of the game" and we are meant to use playing pieces, so to start with a slight cop out using playing cards.


Also scored some nasty cheap dominoes, going to see what I come up with them.


And after a couple hours messing about.


Thank you for looking.

That ruin looks nifty so far. Cutting all that card must have been quite the chore.

Man I would have just used one card as a rug , nice work with the dominos , were they hard to cut?

Big thing is looking big I'll need to go rummaging in Home Bargains now, brave the daytime pyjama wearers...

Camkierhi,

Now that was a cunning idea.

Well played, well played.

Cheers,

Nice shape to get going with.

Great Start Cam, looking forward to the progress

Impressed I am. Playing cards. A House of Cards* . Very clever Mr. Cam. Or better said, "well played, Mr. PeanutCam, well played." It's a Seinfeld reference.

*I enjoyed the British version with Ian Richardson. Never saw the US version. Same with Traffik. Not a fan of remakes, me.

Thank you all.

Little progress...




Work continues...

Thank you for looking.

Framing... in miniature... My house doesn't look that good!

Cam’s bringing the heat.....
I’ll get my hat

Some men want to watch the world burn...

Good work on your wood work.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Lined it with card.



Then beat it up and added a "moulding".



Thank you for looking.

Are you going to leave the playing cards as-is? They look like really ugly wallpaper, like my grandmother used to have in her formal dining room.

^ I really hope that's how he's using them. It'll have a great, deacying, lovecraftian mansion feel.

I LOVE that! The playing cards and molding are fantastic ideas. Wow...

The playing cards do work well as wall paper, good point guys. Nice job with the molding Cam, your miniature architecture skills are shining again.

Now that looks good!
I love the floorboards and the playing cards on the walls. Really realistic stuff.

Looking good Camkierhi.

Definitely keeping to the theme of "The Name of the Game"

Cheers,

CB

Mate that's really cool !

Before its all qlued together you should make molds and cast a load up !

House of Cards....nice.

i see what you did there....



amazing work Cam... but all that work of structuring only to be covered then...argh^^

Well thank you all for the wonderful comments.

Sorry Josh they are staying. On the inside at least.

And @ Vik, well you know me by now, have to have it done proper.

So started on the "roof"..



And added some of those dominoes for detail to the front.


And started on a staircase I am not sure I will use...


Then I slapped some paint around...





So I guess it is starting to take shape.



Thank you for looking.

Paint works great with the cards. Roof looking great, and you need to use the steps.

The marble work paint job on the outside

Looks ace. Given that you've made the staircase, maybe destroy it and have it collapsed through the building?

Wow! Do you have a tutorial for your marble anywhere?

And @ Vik, well you know me by now, have to have it done proper.

i´m totally with you here! it´s because of this tho that building ruins is very hard for me, as i tend to always make only intact buildings because of this...

also...the roof is developing nicely, and i can´t say anything about the marble exterior...that is

especially what you did to the flooring is amazing tho...that nice stain is mouthwatering...looks like honey to be honest big

these kebabsticks you used i have too...was planning on trying to make butresses one day with them, but i like your idea and use way better!!!

the stairs are good looking, but i am unsure about the angle these would create... will it reach the next level? the way you pictured it i can´t tell...

The stairs are intriguing. craft sticks for the treads and strings, and balsa wood to make the risers?
