Here are two models I found online that intrigued me.
I am a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft. One of the best authors ever.
I decided that I needed a break from building my Gearz Galactica 'bash for a couple of days (explained in that thread).
I like how they turned out.
They are also great props for those who do gaming.
Here's how the model starts for
'De Vermis Mysteriis'
"Creepy Lighting"
Clearer picture
Bottom of the book
Pages
Top
Binding
Back
And now for the 'Unspeakable Cults' book by 'von Juntz.
The "kit".
First set of folds
The other side
After making the first book--cool as it is--I noticed it was
very light. Weight-wise.
So, I decided to give it a little more heft for the size of book it is.
I cut some cardboard from a 'Eggo' box to the correct size, added glue, gravel and sand from the driveway, let it dry (tapped off any loose stuff).
Interior 'pages'
Then added to
the inside.
Here's the completed book:
The cover
Lower pages
Side pages
Top
Binding
Back
Here are both books together:
Tops
Different angle
These were a fun side build. Rather simple. Actually the De Vermis was a bit more difficult in the way it was set up to glue the pages together.
Still a nice little diversion. Adding the weight was not necessary; that's just me. :D:p
Enjoy.
