RedBox Games Competition WIP and Final piece by Normski Ealand
This week I received news that one of my best mates in hobby, Norman „Normski“ Ealand, has passed away due to stage 4 cancerous tumour on the brain. I've known of his battle with the disease since it was diagnosed some time in october 2022. Even though I've known this was coming, it still shook me to the bone. My friend, goodbye!
Normski drinking beer and enjoying his favourite „fartcushions“ as he called čvarkuše!
I've known Normski since 2012 or 2013 when we met online on Wampforum. Immediately we started chatting and got of on a good foot. Which wasn't hard with Normski. He visited Zagreb and our Black Queen H&MPC on three occasions and was the life of the party on each occasion! The following text is an excerpt from our private communication which I've tried to put into a SBS tutorial.
ok so my entry for the Red Box games Comp is done so I thought I would share the journey of its birth.
first I made some molds for my walls which I did take photos of, I cast the walls in plaster, and unfortunately the cracked when trying to get them out. I stuck them to some hardboard to make the basic shape of the dio.
To make the pathway I used dried out tea mixed with basecrafts course sand i then laid out the path shape with pva
Once the pva set I sprayed the whole thing black and then different shades of grey, I then did a very soft dry brush to pick out the grain on the stone. the shape of the cross was made by putting the cross on while spraying the walls, I did this to know where the cross is going so I could paint the walls without hitting the cross. I then put some agrax earthshade in the spray gun and went over the darker grey areas. I then went along the floor line with beil-tan green mixed with Seraphim Sepia. and up the corner.
I then painted and washed the hell out of the cross and doors I then added the grass making sure it overlapped the pathway.
after some of your advice I run some grass up the centre of the path. I then stuck it to a home made base.
While doing all this I was painting the mini's
and then it was done
not the most detailed WIP admittedly but thats it in a nut shell!!
