Stargate Project: Columns, Obelisks, & Statues

This is the second post covering terrain pieces for my Stargate project. It includes the smaller items. You can see the larger ones here. A nice benefit is that all of these pieces can be used in historical games as well.

I painted these with the same method as the buildings.  I started by spray priming them with two coats of Army Painter Skeleton Bone. Next was an application of Skeleton Bone with a large brush, to cover any areas the spray didn't fully cover and to give a nice even base. Some of the pieces had details that I painted individually.  Then I gave them a wash with watered down Army Painter Soft Tone. This shaded in the hieroglyphs and other details. The final step was two coats of Krylon Matte Varnish.

I bought these four 3D printed columns from Miniature Building Authority as a set. The detail is excellent and each side has different designs. I have them arranged so that you can see each of the sides. The miniature is a 28mm Roman from Footsore's Gangs of Rome range.

A large obelisk from Armorcast with a 28mm Macedonian from Aventine for scale. All the Armorcast pieces have a large variety of hieroglyphs on each side and are nicely done. I have been tempted to go back and paint the larger hieroglyphs similar to how I did some of the buildings in my last post, but have not had the time.  It may be a future improvement.

Two more pieces from Armorcast, (l) a ruined obelisk and (r) a ruined column.  I used the ruined column as a test piece when initially working out the paint scheme.  

Two statues devoted to the Egyptian god Set. The statue on the left is from Dragon Bait Miniatures, whose products will figure prominently in a future post on this project. I have dubbed the jewel on top 'The Eye of Set'. The statue on the right is from Miniature Building Authority and is a 3D print.
