STAGE 1Measure out and cut pieces of plasticard for the crystal's sides and base. Be sure to use a sharp hobby knife so you get a clean edge on the plasticard. |
STAGE 2Create the dais out of stacked pieces of hardboard. Assemble the base and dais and attach everything with superglue. |
STAGE 3Glue the crystal together and reinforce the inside seams with superglue. Once the glue dries, sand down the crystal to hide the seams. |

STAGE 4Test-fit the crystal onto the base but DO NOT glue it. Keep the crystal separate for painting. You can attach it to the base once all painting is done. |
STAGE 5Use some bits from the High Elf Chariot to represent statuary. Once all painting is done, glue the crystal and dais onto a hardboard base. Cover the base with glue and sand. |
STAGE 6Base. Basecoat with Bestial Brown. Highlight with Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone. Add static grass. Dais. Basecoat with Tin Bitz. Drybrush with Shining Gold and then Burnished Gold. Crystal. Apply Chaos Black Spray undercoat and then basecoat with Ultramarines Blue. Highlight with Hawk Turquoise and Ice Blue. Paint the crystalline effect by drybrushing over strips of tape. Finally, glue the crystal in place. |
