Thread: Finally Finished My Mausoleum

Tweet

So, after about a month, I FINALLY finished my mausoleum. It basically follows the same structural design as TK421’s mausoleum, but it’s a little bigger (6’ x 4’ x 8’). Including the cross on top, it’s a staggering 10 feet! It breaks up into 6 sections for storage: front, back, 2 sides, and 2 roof panels. The cross, roof peak, and step are attached with Velcro, so they can also come off for easier storage.

Front:


Right Side (with window):


Roof:


Skull and Vase:


Cross:


FCG Added:


It is made from mostly 1” foam board. The gate and bars on the window are ½” PVC and furring strips covered in Great Stuff foam for texture, and painted to look rusty. The skulls in the recessed area on the front are from Terror Syndicate. The roof is made from thin pieces of foam board from the dollar store melted to look like old shingles.

I carved the bricks by dragging an X-Acto knife over it, then melting it with a torch. I painted it a dark gray, then dry brushed a lighter grey on top. I used thinned down paint to give it some age.

On the inside, I hung my FCG and 2 blacklights.

I still have to add moss here and there, but it is pretty much finished.
I’ll add a video of the FCG in action later tonight.

Questions and comments are welcome! Thanks.

That looks really, really good. Great job!

wow, very cool, you did a great job, the roof and cross look like they have been there for decades!

I love how it turned out, the roof tiles add a nice touch too.

That's one sweet take on TKs blueprints. I really dig those roof shingles. How'd you make them?

Thanks, everyone! I had fun making it.

I bought a couple of foam boards from the dollar store (similar to these.) I cut them into squares, and removed the paper covering. I used a heat gun to warp them a little, then glued them onto a sheet of foam.

one of the best Mausoleum I ever seen! Amazing work!

Very impressive work. I really dig the rusted gates

most excellent!

Thanks!
