3d dungeon W.i.P

[sundayhero]

Enough work for today. I didn't finished all the tiles  But I made a balsa wood stick glueing overdose 


Here's the current progress, and how many tiles I still need to do (a lot I'm afraid). 

I'm motivating myself thinking about how cool playing in this will be...

Lookin' good!

Looking great!

I look forward to see some paint on those walls.

Nice work. Looks really good.

Finally, it's done. I glued and trimmed every piece of wood, and the walls too to make them less "square". I was thinking that chain painting 100 zombies was boring ? It's was a JOY comparing to this 


Here's some pics (first is showing all the trimming process I did). It's still not totally completed, I still need to add some rubble and gravels there or there, to hide some gaps between walls and floor tiles. It will be the boring work for tonight. Hopefully, I'll find an hour to paint my 10mm undeads too

IT may have been dead boring compared to zombies  but it's paid off. They look awesome!

LOOKIN' GOOD! Having distress an endless number of balsa strips for scaffolding, walkways, et al, I can identify with the mind numbing nature of the task. Funny thing is that the more tedious the task the more compliments it draws...cameras aren't the only contrary Beasts in the craft. Once it's all painted, the OOHS & AAHS will resound down the dungeon corridors.

thanks for the comments.


I just finished adding the rubbles and gravels. Now the tiles are almost ready to paint : tommorow I'll mask the floor to protect the paint...Or maybe not. I'm not sure anymore of the bicolor idea  


I've got a violent headache tonight, not sure I'll paint anything or do anything more.

Today is sunny day, I think I'll paint them all tan/antics. I'm too lazy for the dual color thing.  Especially since I'll have to paint the wood sticks separatly (argl.).

New pics this evening

This is such a cool project! I'm totally in agreement that tediousness will sneak in on those many repetitive building pieces but damn it looks good in the end! (I'm working on stone foundations now whose bricks were carved just a bit too big for my smallest landscape brush so I'm using my biggest small brush and I'm seeing stones in my sleep.) Yes, imagine the little lead men crawling down the corridors about to meet some beasties and it will all be worth it.

I salute your willingness to have it done, rather than have it worked on endlessly to be perfect. I have to say though, it looks fantastic so far! I'm itching to see the rubble bits. I also appreciated your blurbs describing your plans and adjustments during the process. Very helpful when one is blocked on a project.

Have fun today and I hope you get to take some pictures!

thanks !

I'm afraid you will be disapointed by the rubles, it's just a few cat liter gravel I glued where the walls and floor are not well glued   Really nothing fancy  


The dungeon is primer painted. But 1 spray can wasn't enough, I will have to add some paint...Hopefully, I've got almost the same color in a liquitex arts tube somewhere  


When I see all the work I made...Even for these simple dungeons (no carved walls, molded floors), I think again about this kickstarter project we saw a few months ago, with resin dungeons...That was not that expensive, finally

Here's some pics of the tiles. I also found some similar paint (just need to add a bit of white) for last fixes.

Cat litter, eh? This may seem like a silly question, but what kind of litter? Here in the US they make flushable, scented, clumping, multi-cat household, etc. I thought I had some old railroad talus around here for my project but I can't turn it up, and that little bit of grunge can add a lot to a model.

Yes, but would it have been as much fun?

the low end, cheap price cat litter. No parfume, nothing. Just dusty gravel

Ahhh, I didn't know you were re-painting/surfacing the floors...so I was wondering why you'd attached the walls before painting them.  Shame, I actually liked the finish you had on the floors.  Keep it comin'!

Oh, and building Old West stuff I understand the "saw mill" result on the table.  I am soooo tired of coffee stirrers and bass wood.
