Think i'd go with panels, maybe with some card strip strut work, or use corrugated cardboard with the corrugations sticking out. Or some strips of that plastic strap stuff they put around big parcels/crates sometimes, tends to have a good texture on it. They've got a nice shape to them like that. |

Experimenting with the back a little more. Good point - becuase the filler drys hard, I can run along it with a dremel and I get a perfect slot for a card strip walkway to slot in. Cable tie along the bottom, planning on some sort of scraped in detail above it. Will let filler dry and sand it back first. Then the columns under the walkway, though they themselves need details added. Every third or so might get a very thin cable tie 'ladder' sunk into it (sawcut). I think I need some strippine around the top and botton of each col, and maybe some wires or pipework. Post painting there can be lots of 'painted' detail - assembly points, propoganda posters ect, so I guess they'll look ok. |

Wicked idea! Judging by the pictures they will look really cool and already got an impressive scale! |
