Hirst Arts: Fountain

WizarDru

Adventurer
My wife, Valanthe, created this awesome fountain this weekend, and I just have to show it off. In particular, check out the ripples in the water.

Check it out:

Now I just have to use it in a dungeon!

Tell me about what that water is made out of--I'm working on a little model of my own and I was just wondering how to include a water feature, not made out of actual water.

I am not sure about WizarDru's better half, but I would gamble she used this Hirst Arts method.

Woodland scenics also made some water beads that you could just add heat to to form model water.

I hope it is OK I hijacked your thread WizarDru.
 

Well done fountain, very nice!

I also love the plants; not enough people give a thought to detailing their miniature dungeons/castles/what-have-you with stuff like that to give it a lived-and-died-in look; most dungeons I've seen look like a party has already been through ahead of you and cleaned it out. :)

Valanthe here, hijacking Wizardru.

No problem, Pogre, and thanks for the kudos. You are the master of the molds. And you are correct, sir, I did indeed use the tips from Hirst Arts. I found the Envirotex Lite and the 5 min. epoxy at the local Michael's Arts and Crafts store. And then just followed the directions on the Hirst site.

My first real project, and I think it turned out nice. I really love Hirst too.

Valanthe again.

Thanks, Gnarlo. I kinda like to make a dungeon/castle a little more home-y :). And these were easy to make. I just found these little terra cotta pots in the doll house section of Michael's and then I used Reindeer moss for the bush. It's really fun.

Now that's an awesome idea! I am so totally stealing that - in the immortal words of PC "yoink!"
 


I hope you guys did the responsible thing and posted a copy of the pics/links on the Hirst Website. They would love to see it.

I really like the clean feel suggested by the plants and the border on the fountain. It looks like it would work equally well in a temple or a palace in addition to a dungeon...
