I had really liked a lot of the elements I used in one of my very first camps for sale: David Zecchini's Cooking Amidst the Columns. I wanted to see if I could use similar elements but make it simpler and cleaner. I eliminated the wall that was in the other camp and replaced it with a tent. The large pot was also scratched, and in its place was a haunch of meat roasting over the fire. I also cut out the coals, and simply used fragments of a cotton ball to represent smoke. The finished product was effective, and much easier to make than Zeke's camp had been.
The tent is a resin one purchased from Dayton Painting Consortium. The columns are fluted pegs from Wood Shoppe Turnings, bought at Hobby Lobby. The cookfire ring is made with aquarium gravel, and the smoke is from a cotton ball, as I mentioned. The smoke is the last thing done on the camp, otherwise you can get flocking in it.
For the haunch, I wrapped a brass wire with strips of blue tack, winding it into the rough shape of a roast. I took a thumbtack and made a hole in the styrene base to slip the brass wire into and epoxy in place. The chef is an Old Glory Baeleric Slinger with his weapon snipped off. Woodland Scenics flocking competed the vignette. I would estimate this camp took at least an hour less time to do than Zeke's camp had.
This camp sold at Warband for $25 to John Adkins.
