Greater Brass Scorpion Base - Preparing the pieces

Hi guys,
Here's a catch up to document the progress of the creation of my brass scorpions apocalypse sized base.

After designing on paper what I wanted to create and cutting out the base materials I began chopping the blue foam into the segments I will require.
Here are the pieces arranged:

The steps were cut from cork sheet to make life a little easier.
Next the top surface was cut from styrene tread plate sheeting. I also cast a set of piping and end pieces.


Next I used varying thicknesses of plasticard to cover the exposed blue foam and cut out the 'Serpent Guard' iconography for the pipes to feed into.

The next few photos illustrates the scorpion mounted upon its base.







More to come,

Rumplemaster
