That. Is. AWESOME!

Worthy of a king or a dark god. Nice layout for a good boss battle. Gotta have some pillars to hide behind.

Thanks!
Throne room completed!

Plenty of space to go!!! The throne room looks really good.

Looking at the entire setup, it occurs to me that you also need an abyssal pit room, similar to your round room, but with a rather ominous large black pit in the middle.

Thank you! Cool idea!!! This Will be the next, After I'll finish the cave/ dungeon entrance I'm working on....

My thoughts exactly!

You can probably fint in 4 times the amount of rooms you've built, chop chop :p

Yes guys! I bought the biggest box

Let's go inside now....

Lovely project, I'm a huge fan of modular dungeons (whether they are sci-fi or fantasy doesn't bother me much)!

That mix of colors worked really well. Great work there! Man, it feels like you are knocking these out at a pretty furious pace. I feel like you need to do a tutorial on the build process as I think your ability to churn out a really nice tabletop standard would benefit lots of gaming groups.

What can I Say? Thank you very much!
I have to finish my 16 levels before your Village...

Never thought about teaching my scratchbuilding techniques... I took inspiration from other tutorials of much greater level. It's like art vs craft (mine Is craft...).
Many details are rough... On the other hand I must admit the overall impression is good and above all the work Is faster you can imagine. Main problem are dead times. For the cave (faster than normal rooms, maybe I'll do more

) about 30 minutes of effective work, maybe 1 hour for a medium Square Stone room.
Maybe, if someone Is interested I could start a new topic....

Well, for what it is worth, I doubt many people play on a table that has all the flair of a 6x8' diorama. I've seen some that will knock your socks off, but it isn't very realistic or practical for the average gaming group. I agree that there is need for that amazing art level stuff to spark the imagination, but I'd wager there is more need for a solid technique with easily/cheaply accessible materials. What you are creating here is amazing to me because it is exactly the type of terrain I would be excited to play on, and you are churning out playable rooms in the time that it takes Dominos to make a pizza

For a weekly gaming group I suspect that whole new sections of dungeon could be created between games, with a little bit of concerted effort.

In short, I think it meets all of the following criteria:
1) It looks good. It is begging for miniatures to run around and kill orcs on it!
2) It doesn't require the purchase of kits, tools, or uncommon materials. I think most people have all they need, to accomplish a similar project, laying around the house or at least easily obtained for free.
3) It is fast and still manages to circle back and fulfill point #1.
4) Clearly it is space conscious without sacrificing playable space. What you have already created would easily fulfill most 1-2 hour games with ample space to move around and it wouldn't be the same map each and every week.
5) It is accessible. There are tons of awesome miniature paint jobs out there that I can admire but not reproduce. If just anyone could do it we all would. The same goes for terrain. There are tons of really amazing works out there, but if I had the talent to replicate them I would. I think it is safe to say that most people want good terrain that they can truly DIY, and doesn't end up with one of those "at least you tried" types of looks about it.

Here Is what I use to make my dungeon:
- a 3cm XPS panel. You can use an higher One to have more depth to use for pits, lava pool, etc.
-a 1cm EPS panel. XPS would be Better, but I couldn't find a panel so thin.
- an Electric foam cutter
-set Square and ruler
-a straight long wooden Stick
-paints (White and black) and brushes
- a big amount of vinylic glue
-a small black felt tip pen
-toothpics
- a ball of aluminium food wrapping foil

Tomorrow I'll make a room...
