Resin Dungeon sewer, available from zealot miniatures
« on: 10 July 2012, 12:15:03 AM »
Here are some pics of a resin dungeon I created and painted myself. I've made a few cast of these just for me at the moment but if there is enough interest I may start to produce them to sell  :). Some of the dungeon sections could also be used as diorama settings or also as dungeon bases. The large "arena" room is 15cm x 15cm (6 inches). The smaller "Throne" room is 10cm x 10cm (4 inches). The large corridor sections are 5cm x 5cm (2 inches) and the smaller corridor sections are 2.5cm x 5cm (1 x 2 inches)
They were really quick to paint up as well. These ones probably took me about 10 minutes to paint (not including drying time of the initial spray paint)
There are some heresy miniatures in there for scale purposes and a Rackham Minotaur which I based on a miscast dungeon section. The sections were all mounted on lasercut mdf so they all fit. together really nicely.

Thanks for looking

Nice project. It looks sturdy and is quick to paint, and modular too :)

Oooh, a dungeon based on 25mm squares? Hell yes, anything else in the works?

When I can afford to get more pinkysil to make up the molds (and some more laser cut mdf) I've got plans for a few different styled rooms, a staircase (spiral, useful for a dungeon entrance. Pit trap counters. Chests, lava bridge, even some walls, also finishing of the half finished doorway I have, probably a closed door too. I've been also thinking (far down the track) of making a sewer system dungeon. So many ideas, not enough money or time!!

How thick is it before you mount it on MDF?

@Andrew :) I only had enough pinkysil for one side of the door. So the next load I get will be used to make it double sided. Hopefully I'll do that in the next couple of weeks
@robh I mounted the originals with plasticard tiles on MDF the casts I make are solid resin about 4-5mm thick. I've dropped them a few times and it doesn't seem to do anything to them.
@Arthadan. I really have no idea of the price. I'm looking at making my money back on the resin and the molds. I think each of those large arena tiles takes around 100mls of resin and just under a litre of resin costs about NZ$80 (about 40 pounds) Those smaller throne room tiles are about the same use of resin because they are about 8mm thick on average. At the moment I'm trying to sell a set of this off at NZ$30 on trademe. I'm going to get a set of kitchen scales, today hopefully, to weigh up the resin and hopefully come up with a more accurate costing.

Should this be shifted to Bazar of obscurities moderators?

I've just made a couple more rooms up. One is a generic dungeon room,100mm x 100mm, just a tiled floor so it can be used for all manner of things and the other is a prison cell 50mm square with a 25mmsquare entranceway. It has a straw bed and blanket, chain attached to the wall and acup and plate. Funnily enough I made the cup empty but when I molded it there was a bubble in the cup so now the cup is almost full when cast. A good little mistake and will hopefully make me remember for the future. I've also made a caved in hallway section 25mmx50mm so it can be used to block off large or small hallways or tighten a large hallways a little.
I'll get some picks of these put up tonight.
Also if anyone is interested http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=505082674 if it doesn't sell would anyone here be interested. There is a lot of resin in this kit. Postage may be quite hefty to the other side of the world though.

That looks very cool Beef...since I just read the cavern crawl rules I've started look around for dungeon layouts...and these look very nice.  Very creative of you.

Can't wait to see the new additions.

The latest dungeon segment. So I tried to sculpt a 3d shape pretty much 2 dimensionally so it could be cast easily rather than having people needing to cut a giant hole in their tabletop.
