Hi, I'm having a go at making this for my armies on parade entry, does anyone have any tips for this? Its my first real time working with foamboard (I've done a few test bits) and the instructions don't seem too easy to follow near the end. In particular does anyone have tips for doing bevelled edges? Is it worth buying a specialist tool for cutting them? Cheers, Scib. |

I've done the Journeybook Deeping Wall. I found it straightforward, actually, particularly in comparison to the gatehouse, where the instructions are unclear and it's hard to see detail in the pictures. I found I didn't need a special tool for the beveling, just a very sharp knife. Foamboard wears down a knife blade pretty quickly, so if you're having trouble getting a clean cut, switch in a new blade. |

For making the seeping wall I did this-Cut a piece of foamboard 5 inches high and however long, then cut another the same. Use the pen to score bricks into the surface. Cut another just 3 inches wide and do the same bricking as the others. Then take a piece of pink or blue foam and cut it into 1 inch by 2 inch pieces then bevel them normally. Then as a final touch up add a half inch by X piece of foamboard and lay that just below the battlements. |

The DCHL has several old WD articles on its website. One of the files contains the Helm's Deep article which has some decent WIP pics of this model. |
