The shot above shows one of the rooms being raised on pillars. The pillars were made from Keurig coffee K-cups. I noticed that K-cups looked to be about the right size to use to raise up rooms in the dungeon for multi-level play. So I cleaned out used K-cups and poured excess plaster from when Mark and I were casting the Gothic molds for the dungeon. They are very strong and almost perfect height for the stairs we made.
Another shot showing the elevated room using K-cup pillars.
A detail shot of the elevated room. It has been dressed with mostly pieces from the Unique Inn Accessories Mold #59, but there are a few other pieces as well.
Another view of the elevated room. This shot shows the bearskin rug in front of the fireplace. I made that from Sculpey polymer clay and am inordinately proud of it.
Dungeon from a different angle. The room with the blue and silver floor tiles has Knight statues in the alcoves which were purchased from Naloomi's Workshop. I've always gotten great deals and great service from him. He sells pre-cast Hirst Arts bricks and many very nice accessories. More about him later.
Another angle.
Some of the rooms got special floors, mainly because I was running short of regular floor tiles. :)
This shows some of the corridor pieces. I tried to keep at least one wall low, for ease of play and visibility of minis.
The room with the pillars and red and yellow floor tiles is called the King's Hall. The Elf Wizard mini in the King's Hall was painted by my son Bob. He did an awesome job on it. The statues flanking him came out of a Toobs Toys Egypt set. I got mine at Hobby Lobby with a 40% coupon. The giant sarcophagus in the room with wall pillars (center) is one I made.
Another room and corridor with a fancy floor. The trapdoor piece is a custom job by Mark.
A different angle shot. The sarcophagus is another custom job by Mark. He's prolific.
Thanks for looking. Above is a teaser shot for next post.
