Title: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 17 June 2011, 04:41:51 AM: Hi,

My local club is very much in fantasy (WH battle, Mordheim...) and I had the idea to build some modular sceneries : caves, sewers, etc... to go UNDER our tabletop (in reality beside...).

Each module is 30x30 cm. So I have to build at least 16 modules (1.20 x 1.20 m) may be more...

Here are the first four of them. The fifth one is uneder way...

1st module : cavern

2nd module : a cave, with upstair to a house of someone who like good wine (french one of course !! :drunken: )

I used some Hirst Arts molds.. (fieldstone molds).

Well, that's all for today. I'll post the next one as soon as possible.

Post by: Wirelizard on 17 June 2011, 05:54:29 AM: Nice! Simple without looking simplistic, if that makes sense - all the detail in the right places but not in the way of the game.

Will have to mentally file this away for eventual inspiration for cave/sewer/underground scenery of my own!

Does the water come out of the sewer so you can have a dry sewer? Wasn't sure if the dry sewer was a work-in-progress photo or a finished photo.
Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 17 June 2011, 06:32:46 AM: Hello Wirelizard,

No, (sob ! I haven't thought at that possibility !) it's a "fixed" water ! More module of sewers will be done later with runways along the tunnel.

Jacques

Post by: Driscoles on 17 June 2011, 06:50:02 AM: wow...this is really awesome. Brilliant work !
Not only useful for a fantasy Dungeon but also a useful idea for a Pulp Gangster or Horror Scenario. Thank you !

Post by: Welf VIII. on 17 June 2011, 07:09:05 AM: Now that is great. I shall copy some of this for an own project in the future.

Hope to see more of it.

Thank you!

Post by: Dewbakuk on 17 June 2011, 08:27:46 AM: Very nice. I really dislike square, 4 way caves. It's just an unnatural layout for caves etc. That said, you've done a good job of hiding it.

I'm that Bad Penny they talk about. I've always been disappointed that no matter where I go; there I am.

I REALLY enjoy seeing your work; SO I'm looking forward to all the new goodies.
Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 17 June 2011, 01:31:04 PM: Hi Chaos Wolf,

My water is plexiglass (organic glass) made to protect drawings or photos or lithographies when you put them on a wall.
I find this in an Artist shop (half a square meter for about 10€).

You don't see a lot of underground terrain, so this makes a special treat...!

Post by: Mason on 18 June 2011, 12:01:10 AM: ARGHHH!!!!
Why did you post this?
Now I will have to hit myself over the head repeatedly until I forget I have seen it!
It is brilliant, and the possibilities are endless.
I love the way you have made it modular with out looking like a cheap grid-like structure.
Must forget. Ouch!

Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 30 June 2011, 08:16:10 AM: Hello,

@lasgunpacker : I'm planning to make at least 16 modules. But always (for the moment !) 30 x 30cm. The seventh will be a sewer module...

@thebinmann : no, I don't go to any show

I'll not have time enough to paint my sixth module before my holidays... so I post today only one photo (WIP)

Post by: Argonor on 02 August 2011, 07:12:10 AM: Very nice, indeed!

And if you want the caves/sewers to go actually UNDER the table, try this:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=6379.0

I have a stalled project for a desert/egypt pulp game where the antagonists search for a buried temple, that I intend to lay out beneath the top surface with the ground level board.

This elevated bord is, of course, mainly intended for smaller games, but with more legs, or maybe some stabilizers, it can be made in larger sizes, too.
Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 02 August 2011, 07:46:02 AM: Thank Argonor, good idea.

I'll probably have a try...

Post by: Dr Mathias on 13 August 2011, 01:46:01 PM: This thread has got me wondering if a similar setup could be built for Necromunda- more of a 'warren' feel than the walkway gantries filling a large open space. I have about 15 HA molds myself.

Inspiring build, thanks again for showing this.

I think my favorite is the sewer board 8) 8) Are there going to be more sewers (I didn't read all the postas as I've only just come across the thread and it's nearly dinner time lol )?

I like the idea of doing something similar for Necromunda :)

Keep it coming :D

Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: jacques on 14 August 2011, 07:46:12 AM: Hey,

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

@jimbibbly : yes, in fact the next module will be a strait sewer module... (the sewer module are a little more difficult and more time consuming to do...)

For Necromunda, I think it will be easy to make more masonery tunnel, service areas and engine room floors. Make some pipelines, barrels, crates, steel door and wall steel panels... A more futuristic look !

@Dr Mathias : HA molds are very usefull and you can make nearly all you can imagine, but sometimes the results are (very) heavy lol

See you soon

Best of Forum?

Far too many contenders! Where would we start? So many things here just are cosmically good.
I think he meant 'best forum', no 'of'. Most things here outmatch that on most other forums.

Post by: YPU on 18 August 2011, 01:33:34 PM: No, best of forum, ie the best of the best stuff, and actually we sort of do have them, every now and then a topic will contain so much good stuff that it gets a sticky. Like the riverboat and more recently the Zeppelin on the workbench forum.

You know actually that's what the smiley was invented for :) to indicate something is a joke as it sometimes translates badly over the internet. But yea, no harm done, don't worry.

Post by: jacques on 29 August 2011, 09:42:24 AM: Hi to all,

Your kind words are much appreciated... ;D Thank you.

But, let's see what happened since my last post..
I began to construct my straight sewer and... then... I had a new idea ???
So, of course, I began to test this new idea... I tested, tested and, finally, here is the result !

An underground chapel :

First, a top view:
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-63DPD4QZ.jpg)

But let's enter by the right side on the precedent view :

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-SZFHE4PA.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-6J3TYMHJ.jpg)

A side sub-chapel (?) :

But let's go to the altar :

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-GMYL38GF.jpg)

Nothing interesting here...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-CWV6DLLS.jpg)

May be the other side...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-XV6UIL36.jpg)

But... what's that...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-KVEZQNXM.jpg)

And from the other side...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-A7COEHOX.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-YKJJDMXN.jpg)

A secret door...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-VQC4CYFH.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-DRPJBIA6.jpg)

And the last side of module is a dead end :

But, I promise, the next one will be (it must be !) my straight sewer module...

See you next time. C&C welcome as usual ;)

This project just gets better and better, Jacques!

It is all the little details that bring it to life.

Loving the thread, and will be watching avidly....

Post by: dinohunterpoa on 29 August 2011, 06:42:50 PM: Yep, it's getting better and beter... :o

I liked vey much the chapel, it sounds like ancient and forbidden cults for me...

And if my eyes don't fail me, the old painting at the altar is an image of Neferata,the lahmia vampire queen:http://www.bunkern.dk/catalog/images/P2180058.JPG

(well, actually I spent more and more time in Bathoryburg, the city formerly known as Marienburg in some circles...)

Post by: jacques on 03 October 2011, 07:24:59 AM: Hello,

It was a long time without news, sorry !
But at last, a new module: my strait sewers ! I made them with Hirst Arts bricks.

Let's see it :

First an upper view :
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-FGCOEUB6.jpg)

My "Little Ratnik" is tied, the ground is climbing...
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-8CF8TNXZ.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-ZEYR8W86.jpg)

"Oh, oh! The sewers. It's smelling bad here !"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-WD4OCEWT.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-SSRRARU7.jpg)

"I have to follow this footbridge..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-DSZS3D8T.jpg)

"Oh, it's moving ! Attention..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-BNDFQXI6.jpg)

"Well... an opening ? Where this is going ???"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-B46HWNVU.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-E4YJNEDZ.jpg)

"An old jail... But it seems it was not secure enough !"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-UXIJYMCC.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-OXDLZTXF.jpg)

"Let's see this door... Yes ! Not locked !"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-6O4SQNSI.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-UZQFW64M.jpg)

"And there... Ah yes, another jail..."

Nice storyline to.

Now I want you to saw an troll i half and magnetise each halve so it can swim in the sewers. ;)

Post by: Cadet13 on 03 October 2011, 02:19:08 PM: I just like watching Little Ratnik run around the sewers. :)

Really cool builds! I look forward to seeing more!
Title: Re: Caves, Sewers, Catacombs (lot of pics) WIP
Post by: Mason on 03 October 2011, 02:32:00 PM: More great stuff!

I look forward to seeing each piece as it is made.
I will be looking back on this thread in the future for inspiration. Great work! :-*
I will have to do something similar myself one day. But that is way in the future, I cannot keep up with all my current projects as it is!

Cant wait to see what you come up with next......

Post by: jacques on 03 October 2011, 04:34:41 PM: Hey,

Thanks to all for your nice comments.
The next one will be... Well, I don't know ! Shall have to think on... ;)

@Argonor : No :(, the water is fixed (plexiglass) between two rows of stone on each side...

Bye,

It has been a long time without news... Sorry.

I changed housing and it wasn't easy to continue my hobby...
but I managed to have some little space and had began a new table (old west one) you will see it as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, a long time due photo of all my dungeon's modules together :

Hope to have some C&C and ... new modules are in WIP ...

Bye,

This is obviously not the end of the project, though, is it? ;)

Looking forward to seeing your OW town.
;D

Post by: jacques on 26 March 2012, 01:00:55 PM: <music> This the end, my only friend, the end... <music>

NO ! We need at least 16 modules !

So, I'll continue.... :) But I must finish my first half OW table before ! Photos in 7-10 days...

Sorry for dredging this up from the depths of LAF...I wasn't sure of the protocol for necro-topics, but this was just too cool. I couldn't let it languish in the archives! New players need to see this!

Post by: jacques on 14 August 2013, 06:46:06 PM: Hey,

I gave them to a club in the center of France. The reminders were essentialy caves ones.
One day, when I'll go there, I'll take some photos.
I didn't took any from the others modules cause I wasn't very happy with them...

Post by: jacques on 22 September 2013, 06:42:43 AM: Hi to all,
Yesterday, I was cleaning my hard drive when I found some photos I hadn't post before...
So they are :

Ratnik is always searching for some loots and one day... "Oh no, the path is blocked...I must find another way..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-PDLLPJ44.jpg)
"Surely some rock fall behind... beware !"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-BTQW6FTP.jpg)

And some time laters...

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-HMEVKWJN.jpg)

"Ah yes another boring corridor... may be soon a way out..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-FVNDHE8E.jpg)

"Nothing, always nothing !"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-ICZ76GMQ.jpg)

"Aha, another door "
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-KWX8RPB4.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-UVDPO88H.jpg)

"What a luck I had learned how to open locked door..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-TT4QRYWJ.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-N4CDBBL8.jpg)

"Yes, it seems it's my day..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-ALT8NXCO.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-O4DB7OVF.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-T3BZE8TT.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-UIKOSTGV.jpg)

"Oh, oh ! Somebody is hiding many goods here... I must have a look."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-8WAT6Q3Y.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-LZ6X7MWR.jpg)

"Well, I think he is a smuggler and he made some illegal traffic..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-JSKQK4FT.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-MPQIJEK7.jpg)

"But... what's that ? A lifter !" "But this cellar is bigger than I thought..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-WSJK6OUO.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-GB8WHSRD.jpg)

(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-LL7H8F7R.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-GGDMWAQW.jpg)

"Yes... there is a real fortune here. I have to come back with some friends..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-UTF7683A.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-7CD7YJIV.jpg)

"But... may be another door..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-EHVVHKWK.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-HUF8JSV3.jpg)

"Yes it's open"
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-IVPK3KSL.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-L7CKEENB.jpg)

"I understand, this is not e real wall... Only some paint on a wood palissade."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-QMUPFQBO.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-AFEVICYT.jpg)

"Yes, if this door is close, you can't see anything..."
(http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-QO3BZQMY.jpg) (http://www.monalbum.fr/Foto-L7OYQVNX.jpg)

"Quick, I must go home and inform my buddies... We are RICH at last !!!"

I've played on a similar style board (not quite this level of brilliance though!) and it's very user friendly!

Great stuff, keep it up.

No posts on the thread for two and a half years? That's not a bump. That's Threadnomancy.

Worth it, though...
