Sci-fi portal (Eldar Webway entrance)
- Start as usual by making a good base
- Print our blueprints. If you print them on a a4 sheet you will get a portal large enough for normal 40k Eldar tanks to pass through
- Cut the blueprints to make templates then copy the shapes on thick cardboard or foamcore (or whatever material you want to use for your portal)
- If you use corrugated cardboard, mask its edges with painting tape as with bases
- Prepare steps of the portal by glueing together a single narrow piece of cardboard d to a couple of layers of wider cardboard c
- Glue the wings onto the steps. Strengthen the portal by pressing nails through the steps to connect them firmly to the wings
- Glue the portal to its base. You should end up with something like this:
- Add gems g, i and j made of green stuff or salvaged from your bits box. I added some wiring made from twisted wire stretched between the gems g
- Add rounded shapes h made of thin cardboard. You can press them with a hole punch
- Paint the portal and you're ready to go!
