Arches

Arches

This is going to be a how-to-create manual about arches álà Games Workshop. You know - the kind of arches they have under some of their imperial ruins and stuff...

Ok, this drawing is supposed to show how I'ld finish the arches:

This version will create less broad arches, which might suit some. It was created in Paint.

This version will create broad arches with room to insert a flat skull between each. If printed, it will be 1 7/8 inches tall, which looks right to me. The height is the same, as the drawing is essentially the same. It was modified using Photoshop.

A cross-section of the arches, seen from the bottom.

Method

Print the template arches (the middle picture) and cut out the white (yellow) background. NB! Not the stripes!
Use the template to draw the arches on a piece of medium-thick cardboard.
Cut out the arches with a sharp knife
Cut a piece of (thick?) cardboard as long as the arches and as high as the pillars (stripes).
Cut strips of thick cardboard the size of the outer stripes. (from the left side of the outer stripe to the right side of the outer stripe)
Glue the arches to the plain cardboard
Glue the strips of cardboard onto the arches
Glue a half skull (from Skeleton Regiment, fx.) in the middle of each arch.
Cut pieces of thin plasticrod (to fit in the middle strip).
Glue the plasticrod in the middle of the cardboard strips.
Spraypaint black and drybrush to fit - the skull should be white - the arches can be whatever color you like.
