Yes, the benches are to add size without ruining the scale. I haven't started on any other furniture pieces yet, but I have drawings of the plans. I'm going to finish the board first.
Here's an update on that.

Figo, I have to say I'm really impressed with what you've done here. It's inspired me to attempt something similar with the couple of HA molds I have.

Can I just ask what you've used for a base? I imagine that with all those plaster of paris bricks the thing might weigh quite a bit.

Unfortunately I now live 150 miles from my players so whatever I end up making will need to be transportable.

I'm guessing you have made this so you can position the doors wherever you need them to? If so, how big are your wall sections? How much of this breaks down to individual pieces? I have thought about how to make these very modular without needing a ton of extra pieces.


Here's a photo of that might show you the door system better. It works great.

The walls are 10mm thick. These are from the small brick mold. They are two sections glued back to back. 5mm+5mm.

The whole board will be 5 pieces in total. The four corners and the centre room. I used a large plastic sheet, used for signage. It's extremely strong and won't warp. I tried smaller test pieces on wood, but they warped slightly when the glue dried. If I was to use thicker wood it would be far too heavy. The plastic sheets are ultra light and Don't bend.


Thanks Freedaslaves,
Please see above for your answer. It's very light and durable. I still wouldn't fancy transporting the whole thing 150 miles though. It's not the weight, just the size of everything and if it got a belt of anything it might cause some damage.
Don't let that stop you though. I'd still do it, even if I never got to play it. Which I haven't yet.

Just a quick update on the south-west section of the board. It's coming along nicely. Just need a few bits painted and the moss added and it will be complete. I'll start the build on the North-west section over the next few weeks.

A cosy night in for this lucky Orc in the centre room.

I love this project.
by the way, the braziers are perfect in my opinion. "Unrealistically" bright for coal, but it just looks incredible, so fraggle realism.

Love the wooden bridge tile over the nasty sewer!
I like the brazier effect also, really contrasts well against the dingey dungeon walls. The orc looks like he could do with a little female orc company. The nights are long when your lonesome in a dungeon :D

Haha, nothing like a well hung Fimir to cramp an orcs style!

Thanks for the feedback guys, greatly appreciated.

I didn't think my dungeon could get any more grimey, dirty or disgusting but both of your comments on the Fimir have added an extra layer of unholyness to it. Shame on you both, and thank you :D :? :oops: :mrgreen:
