Tomb of Horrors Face Finished (1 of 2)

Previous post here

So I made a wall section.  I settled on 4"x4" for the floor to give it some stability and to make it fit with my Dwarven Forge Game Tiles.

In the picture below, you can see that I reinforced the back -- gluing a smaller piece of cardboard cross-grain with the larger piece of cardboard.  The wall in the back ended up being about 5" tall.  I added 3 extra strips of cardboard to the bottom to have plenty of surface area for my hot glue.

The bottom is made of two layers of thin cardboard, glued cross-grain to make the base extra sturdy.

The Model Magic/foam Devil Face is extremely light.  I glued it on with white glue.  The white stuff is flexible modeling paste.  I applied it to fill in some tiny gaps and to give the model a little bit of texture.  The Model Magic foam is a little too smooth for my aesthetic taste.  :)

"What foul devilry is this?"

I think the cleric is contemplating throwing the henchman into the mouth of the Green Devil Face.  The paladin stands ready to stop him...

Here you see the finished product.  I painted the whole Devil Face in metallic green, then I came back in and drybrushed a bit with olive green and some bright yellow.  The "mouth hole" is painted in flat black.

I textured the wall and the floor with flexible modeling paste and I did a black wash to bring out the cracks.  It doesn't quite match the Dwarven Forge but so what.  :)  I think the scale and the effect are both good.

Dwarven Forge Game Tiles are quite thick, so I cut a set of 4x4 and 4x6 "inserts" out of some thin plywood I had lying around.  This brings the thin cardboard base up to the level of the Tiles.
