I think they look "old" enough that most people would not make unpleasant 20th century associations. In fact, the stripes are very subtle. Great work!

Just finished painting this classic D&D monster – the Beholder!

To make the eyes stand out, I added a drop of UV resin to each one – it gives them a nice wet, glossy look, like real eyeballs.

UV resin looks great! The "wet" eyes make it look very realistic, really elevates the model.

Yeah, I’m really happy with how it turned out, and it was my first time using UV resin.

Just finished painting the Cursed Cathedral from Dungeons & Lasers
I went with a color scheme that turned out to be much more time-consuming than I originally expected, but I’m really happy with the end result.
It’s also my first painted modular terrain and there’s still plenty more to go...

The blue stonework details really makes that work.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

I think so too. My initial plan was to do everything in shades of gray, but I decided to go for a more polished look rather than something resembling ruins.
