I've just put up an article on how I made my own Hell Gate for my Fir-Bolg minions
The finished result looked like this

And you can read how I made it

Enjoy

Great stuff, Germy !!

Tip - polystyrene glues well with PVA (white glue) 'cos it's water based. Avoid anything with solvents in (superglue, polystyrene cement - liquid or tube, Araldite-type epoxy, Evo-Stick etc) as the resulting fumes are very nasty (= death in large concentrations or confined spaces).

For an alternative Hell Gate I've got hold of a pre-painted skull from an aquarium shop - it needs a bit of tarting up and sticking on a base but it should look the business. I'm tempted to try and find some flickering red/yellow LEDs to make a hellish fire effect inside.

So when are you going to bring your FB army down to Brigade HQ ? You could team up with Durulz and make a mighty FB force.

Hmmm .. might need a trip to Maplins tomorrow, just for a look ... think I'll pass on Meatloaf tho'

Any other suggestions for suitably hellish music* ? 'Fire' by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown ?

(* - suggestions such as Des O'Connor is my idea of hell will be disregarded)

Could try 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' by Bauhaus.

Great stuff

Forgot to check out Maplins on Saturday for flickering LEDs (weather was so sh*t I didn't fancy walking to it) - I'd imagine nearer halloween would be a good time.
