Skythian camp for DBA  -  Posted: April 26, 2010  -  Manufacturer: Scratch Built by Neldoreth
A detailed view of the second Skythian camp based on the same design as the previous. Note how similar they are? For these, I actually did them both at the same time, and so I used identical methods for both camps. To get the bent tent poles I used round tooth picks soaked in water. I drilled tooth-pick sized holes in base of the camp to form a circle for the tent poles to be fixed into. Then I drilled holes in the tops of the tooth pics with a very slim bit and threaded a metal wire through. After the soaking was done and the tooth picks were pretty soft, I inserted them in the holes of the base with white glue, and then drew the wire at the top of the poles tightly, and blamo, the shape of the tent was defined. After that, I just glued on the extra detail bits.
