Adepticon Dark Eldar Team Table (pt.2)




Well this weekend, I went in and worked on the team table on Saturday, for a couple hours. There was a very large tournament going on where we are working on the table, and it was quite crowded, and hard to work so not very much got done. Basically I managed to get the landing pavilions platforms in place, finish the roof of the leering windows, which will be a viewing area and have several large spires coming out of them, tacked in pillars that will have a low level balcony viewing area on them, and started the base of a spire. Here are some pics to give you the idea.

In this Picture You get a general overview of the work done in two hours today. You can see the spire base on top, the other landing pavilion in place, the pillars with a temporary platform on top. I tacked that platform in place to give a frame of reference on what the completed balcony system should look like.




In this picture you get a view of the other side. Notice the ever so slopping spire base. It took me a little while to figure out how to make the cuts to get that right, good thing I have hung a fair bit of crown molding in my time.

Here is a tight close up of the spire base. The spire itself sits upon a large observation area of the arena, above the windowed viewing area; we are starting to get some height now. The spires will be for the Archons themselves. I plan to make a main spire, that goes on top of the base, rise up at least a foot, with a personal viewing area for the Archon himself on top. hopefully the spire skeleton is completely done by next week. we plan to have four in total of varying size, and one will have a very special terrain piece floating above it; it should be pretty grand.

This is a close up of the low level balcony area. No real detail, just a pic so you get the idea of what is to come.
