Very tall temple

by Omen

Omen is a man of few words ;-) When asked how he created the pyramid, he simply answered:

Use foamcore Cut into same shapes.. simply glue together... Well, luckily, he came up with a longer version as well, which I have added below the pictures. Now - enjoy!

	The front of the pyramid. Judging from the comparative size of the miniatures, the pyramid is about 70 cm tall.
	In this picture it is possible to glimpse the coloring of the pyramid - it is sandycolored to look like something from the desert.
	A close-up of the pyramid. Note the entrance.

The long version:

• I cut 4 tall triangles from foamcore.
• From the top of the triangle I cut 3 inches down.. to make it flat at the top
• I began gluing the pieces together, so that each side equally supported the other. (hard to explain wihtout picture )
• I cut a square for the top of the temple and glued it in place.
• I used spackle to fill in several cracks along the edges.
• I roughly judged the angle of the side of the temple, and began making my doorway.
• The door way I just cut two slanted walls and a base that glued to the side evenly, you may have to do some trimming of the pieces to get the right angle with the wall.
• Once all that was done I used an expensive speckled paint Never going to do that again. Rough mixture of sand and paint will do nicely next time =)

Materials:

• Hobby Knife
• Foamcore (2 pieces at least )
• Long Ruler or straight edge
• Lots of Patience

Paints:

• Spackled stone paint for a cool look (to expensive, but good look)
• White paint mixed with sand ( CHEAPER!)

Total Price:

Too steep for me.. next time using cheaper paint.

• 4 bucks for two large pieces of foamcore
• The expensive paint was about 10 bucks
• Total: $14-15
• With cheap paint .. maybe 5 or 6 bucks
