Killing time time over here so I decided to be at least a little productive. I have always thought realistic crops on the field would be pretty neat. I have been collecting ho scale corn stalks for a while, but will not be able to get to that project until I get to the UK. One thing that I can make is pumpkins. They are just a blob of putty that has creases down all sides. Pretty straight forward. I made about twenty over a couple of weeks.
Here are the masters.
And the mold using a cheap Allumite kit
A couple of casts
I will be pinning each pumpkin to the base with the vine.
Then fold the vine over the top.
Bend in an appropriately odd shape.
Using a wire bending pliers.
When they are together they will look the biz.
Once I get back to the UK I can punch some leaves with a paper leaf punch. Right now I am just casting these so I have them available. It will be a bit of a different surface for my rough terrain markers. Hope you like.

Amazing! Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting - I am wanting some pumpkins for a Strange Aeons game.
ReplyDeleteGood addition to the scenery, looking forward to seeing them "up and running" so to speak.
ReplyDeleteLooking forwards to seeing this pumpkin patch prosper. :)
