I had to make 3 pyramids of different size. In addition, the 3rd, the largest, had to have an opening.

But, the big difficulty are the angles. They must be between 52 and 58 degrees so that visually the pyramids look like the pyramids we know.

The first had a dimension of 9″x 9″.

The 2nd, she was 10″x 10″.

And the 3rd and last, a 12 “x12” with an opening. The idea is that by this pyramid, the Tomb Kings (Undead) army can make an impressive entrance.

Technique used:

I first stacked pieces of insulating styrofoam sheet to reach the height I had determined with the help of mathematical calculus (Pythagorean theorem).

Then I made myself a heating wire with 2 handles.

But to get beautiful cuts straight and especially with the right angle, I had to build a pair of ramp mounted on a base. The ramps had to be far enough apart to accommodate the largest of the pyramids. But also perfectly in the same angle! (I have no picture unfortunately)

After cutting all 4 sides, I corrected the imperfections with drywall compound. Then, decide to spend a layer everywhere.

I drew the lines of the bricks, textured the styrofoam with a ball of aluminum foil and finished painting it all.

To paint, I primer with white and spent a good coat of yellow gouache paint.

I continued with a layer of brown liquid shoe wax that I wiped with a rag to remove the excess. A second layer may be necessary.

To finish with a dry brushing in beige.
