I put together a few more bases. 3x30mm round 2x50mm round and 1x60mm round. 25mm base with Van Halfling on it for scale. ( I really need a more suitably tall miniature for scale)
One of the 30mm round is a mage base (the one with fire) and occult base (the end of a pentagram) and a standard dungeon base. I can't paint fir for th life of me.

The 60mm base is a sewer type base with bubbling slime, or molten lava if you'd prefer. Originally I was going to make it separated by wood but the stone makes it more versatile in uses. Tried to sculpt a half submerged skull in there.

50mm "Rover" base. Looks like a dog escaped it's chain I guess. Bone on the ground and 2 snapped chains connected to the ground

Generic 50mm base. Some of the tiles are a bit larger for variation

I've created a couple of sections for my sewer system.
First up is a pic of the whole thing at where it was at this morning.

The ones that are a lighter shade have been sanded.

These 2 below have all of the tiles finished on them. They just need the sludge beneath them and some debris.

I sanded the curve today and weathered it up some too.
It's slow going at the moment as I have to fit this in around writing my class reports. (around 15000+ words all up

)

That's a fantastic idea, sculpting with putty over the laser-cut wood. Should look really excellent once you cast it up. Curious to see a good-size dungeon/sewer layout now.

Thanks!
I'll be needing more resin to cast these ones up. That will be a christmas job I think. At least I have another litre of pinkysil. That should cover the majority of this.

Great project beefcake! The results so far are awesome.

I shall be following this thread now.

A couple of updated pics of 3 of the tiles for the sewer. the other ones are coming along quite nicely too. These 3 are finished. All I need to do now is mold them and cast them. I'm glad I just bought another 2kg of silicone

Though I don't comment as often as I should, whenever I visit your thread I find some new bit of inspiration. The Sewer Pieces are TERRIFIC! I love the bubbles & debris in the water(?). GREAT WORK!

This is fun project to follow along with and like the idea of sculpting over laser cut parts. You'll still get shrinkage in the molds, though, so maybe plan for that. The Dwarven Forge stuff for example is built on a the idea of 1" squares but the squares are somewhat smaller in reality, at least for the the earlier sets (Realm of the Ancients seems more true).

I like the idea of laser cutting in general, and use laser-cut bases almost exclusively, but with obvious join artifacts and lack of details I think at least at present applications like you're doing here are better suited to the medium than trying to sell laser cut structures or what have you.

I just measured them to check shrinkage. they were meant to be 75mm and are... 74ishmm Probably due to me sanding the sides a bit. So no shrinkage at all (must have been a warm night

)
Here's how the casts came out. 2 different batches of resin so the old stuff is slightly brown. The new stuff is pure white.
