Furnaces

These are furnaces (or boilers), I needed for the basement of the first Strange Aeons adventure.

I made the base using a Skylander toy and added lots of small elements to give it a steampunk look. There are tons of little gears that come from steampunk beads, plus bits of toys I found here and there. On the left side, the top is a Games Workshop paint pot (I think it's a Nuln Oil) turned upside down and added on top to serve as a reservoir.

Here's the view from the other side!

The large pipe is made with a gramophone mouthpiece that I salvaged from another Skylander toy - turned upside down and glued with a syringe tip on top of a button.

The small red pieces are tips from Playmobil toys.

On the right one, I salvaged a diving helmet head from another toy that I put upside down at the bottom.

There are small beads placed on the sides and different elements. I think there are pieces that come from other Playmobil toys that I "borrowed" from my daughter.

I used my usual mix of Mod Podge and black paint to help stick all the elements together properly. I didn't mind if there was a bit of texture on top since it was supposed to look like old, weathered stuff.

Then for the dry brushing, I think I went straight to orange. I have Ryza Rust (the technical paint from Games Workshop) but honestly I don't really see the difference between that and regular orange paint. So yeah, just did a dry brushing with orange there.
