My Museum Terrain (Pic Heavy)
« on: March 30, 2019, 02:56:16 PM »
Afternoon,

Finished up some of my museum terrain for Maze of Malacore and thought I would share.  I had to play with the lighting so you could see inside the cases but the colors are pretty accurate.










I also made some bookcases while working on the display cases





I still have more to do but these should also work for the pulp games we are planning at the club. 
Hope you like.

Agreed, very cool, but we need to see pics with some minis to truly appreciate how cool they are😎👍

Masks were form the new box for Ghost Archipelago.  They came out while I was working on the cabinets.  Just made a press mold out of instamold and green stuff. The skulls are a mix bag from about a dozen manufactures (reaper, Secret Weapon, GW, Freebooter among others).  I was stuck in the states for eighteen months waiting to immigrate and all my hobby stuff was here in the UK.  I spent my hobby budget squirreling away bits from various manufactures for the whole time I was there.  Most of the other items are from Reaper.

Not as much as you might think.  To make the basic box and cut the glass I just used a rotary paper cutter.  If I had to do it by hand I would have quit long ago. 

The wood framing was just coffee stirrers trimmed to size.  Again I have a cutter for that. 

My rule for the items in the cabinets was to not use more than two colors of paint.  They just got a wash after everything was painted.  The number of items in the cabinets give the impression of detail and the glass limits the view. 

I did the cabinets on batches of two or three and the whole project took about two weeks in the evenings.
