I always loved the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where some nameless government worker pushes the boxed Ark of Covenant through a giant warehouse filled with crates. The countless "top secret" boxes filled with God-knows-what make for limitless possibilities. In an effort to replicate this in miniature, I tried my hand at making several crate stacks.
Initially, this was going to be a tutorial but, I made a huge mistake by staining these stacks with a stain that was several shades too dark. While they're perfectly serviceable, I'm not happy with the end result and decided to simply post the completed stacks. Also, I don't own a 28mm Indiana Jones proxy so I decided to use some of my Old West minis.
Enjoy!
They're lovely. Did you scratch build them or are they from a kit? I for one would've loved a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Herbert, they look the business, Stain or no stain.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the pictures I'm guessing a variety wooden blocks with coffee stirrers for the thinner straps and balsa sheet for the thicker??
Nice anyway.
The lighter ones are at the front of the warehouse. These dark ones (which I like) are towards the middle to early back part of the facility.
ReplyDeleteThe ones Waaaaaay back in the dark recesses? Last five scientists who went back there never returned...
Looking good. Too dark or not!
ReplyDeleteThese look excellent - great work!
