Monuments and reliefs are easy to make with spare miniatures or their parts

Tomb of a dwarf lord

I think the pictures explain the idea how to make this thing:

  1. Build the basic shape of the tomb from a stiff card stock
  2. Glue some bits, especially spare shields, to its sides
  3. Paint the whole thing (black undercoat then grey drybrush)
  4. The epitaph was typed on a computer and then printed and varnished
