Built a museum for my museum terrain
« on: April 03, 2023, 09:48:51 PM »
Back in 2019 I built a bunch of displays for the Maze of Malicore and we only played the scenario once.  https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=116046.0
Since then they have been sitting in the box so I decided to build a museum to stick them in.  I wanted it to be generic enough to use for both Pulp Alley and Frostgrave.  I did a generic front that I can hang a sign on depending on the scenario.  It can now either be the Museum of Natural History or it can be Mathesar's Emporium of Wonders.  Some photos here and more on my blog if you are interested.

Wonderful, especially the collection of oddities in cases.

Delightful bit of work.  And not one but two spiral staircases - I think that might be a bit mad.  Fun madness.  How did you do that or were they 3D prints or some other purchase?

What a great build. Smart thinking to have optional signs.

Thanks for the compliments all.

That was a particular bit of stupid on my part as I scratch built them.  Central post is a Plastruct tube, the stairs are mount board and the side is stencil paper.  Took about four tries to get the design right.  There are still gaps on the outside edge of some of the stairs and no one could ever actually walk up it as the spiral is too tight but I am happy with the results.

This museum in a museum should be displayed in a museum! Incredibly good work!

Lovely work.

Fond memories of a Museum in a Wargame. Club I was in (years ago) did a, 'Night
at the Museum' silly end of year game. Players being chased around by the 'exhibits'.
Great fun!

That is outstanding.

I'd forgotten about your exhibits thread so have now bookmarked it to shamelessly copy your work; will make good use of the spare dinosaur skeletons I have as well as the small horde of bits that 'might come in handy' for my Castle and Dungeon project.
