Temple Of Cats
Inspired by HG Wells and Frank Perry, I made this temple from wooden blocks quite a while back but unlike them, I made it into a permanent structure, although with removable roof. The cat statues are a more recent addition. Actually the prone animal could almost be a jackal. The cats either side of the entrance are recent work from cheap plastic cats. The others were picked up by me in the late 90s when I was in Egypt.
This will feature in today's wargame where the Sultan of Fezia attempts t put down the Caspian rebellion. The Caspians are closely related in origin and culture to the Patrans.
An excellently temple of cats, James - for gamers and readers who are inspired by your creation, they can see for free the original E. Nesbit version in some of the links and the illustrations in her Wings and The Child or the Building of Magic Cities 1913 book here: https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/tag/edith-nesbit/

ReplyDeleteHow did you add texture to your woodenblock-buildings?
I used a mixture of PVA, plaster and sand. I have heard of also adding flour.
