If for some ungodly reason you can't find the components for your homemade black wash, any hobby-shop that carries Army Painter products carries washes by the large-capacity screw-top can rather than their usual dropper-bottles or those Citadel-style pots. Strong Tone, I believe, is what they call their black wash... Nuln Oil, by the reckoning of the Citadel range. I just picked up some Army Painter Plate Mail Silver. Works a treat as a substitute for Iron Hands Steel, and I can see why some hobbyists/makers prefer the dropper-bottles. I also love my Army Painter detail-brush and pin-vice.

These look excellent, friend. It’s nice to wake up and see clips like this. I’ve been following the page a long time and watched you go from being hard on yourself and disappointed with building wagons, etc., to building some beautiful full-size walls that look vastly superior to the WizKids Dungeon Tiles line. That’s artistic and personal evolution! Thanks for taking us in the ride with you and also, for showing us these. They are fantastically done and quite beautiful.

I'm going to give your technique a try. I would like to make a suggestion. Instead of playing with "nuts" use roofing nails. They are cheaper, the broad head give you plenty of surface area for magnets. When I try this, I'm going to try using the nails on the nails and glue the magnets in the floor. This will use less magnets. Thanks for the tips. I look forward to giving this a try.

Good idea.

Double the ready board, now you can hide the magnet under the wood. I'm working on something like this but not using nuts, instead I'm going to use pins, steel sewing pins, easy to hide and works like a charm. Also way cheaper than the nuts. Edited to add: This also removes the "need" for any exterior walls and works as a locking system for the tiles. It can also be used with way smaller walls, think the Wyloch walls, just to hint at the wall being there.

I wonder if using the magnets in the board instead of nuts, then using pins or something in the wall may have been a better way to go? Though magnets in the wall pieces does allow for using them on various other metallic boards (or have them attached to air ducts for storage. 🤣).

Im in no way criticizing, because these tiles are amazing, but when you drybrush you should "go against the grain" so to speak to preserve the shadows within the textures better.

@brokenterrain

I have a tendency to go crazy with the dry brushing. 🤣

How sturdy are the wall sections? I'm thinking specifically of the bottom edge where it's just foamcore and no framing sticks. Maybe if half width sticks were run along the bottom as baseboards it would up the rigidity and durability? Also, why texture both sides of your sticks with woodgrain when you were hotgluing them all to the foamcore? You could have saved yourself half your texturing time by only doing one side of each stick. Either way, the result looks fantastic. A great project, thanks for sharing.

@brokenterrain

2 жыл бұрын

The sections are incredibly sturdy. That bottom edge would be the weak point but I see no issues with standard use. Though you could add a baseboard along the bottom as desired. I thought about that texturing of sticks thing too, but often it allowed me to flip to the side with the best texture so it was kind of worth it. 🤣

Why don't you paint the stone and the timbers before glueing them on? Seems it would make it far easier and yield a much nicer result as well.

This is very cool. I am newly new to this... What kind of foam did you start off with? The main board

@brokenterrain

Жыл бұрын

The floor tiles are made from 1/2" xps foam. You can find the material in 4'x8' sheets at home depot. It comes in 1" and 2" thicknesses as well. Fairly expensive but one sheet will make many projects. The walls are from the dollar tree. The readi board brand is well loved by crafters because the paper backing on this board peels away easily. This leaves clean sheets of xps foam to carve, trim and cut.

If you want to try for more floor tiles, you can get a sheet of HVAC sheet metal and use it instead of the nuts. You'll need to experiment with the covering over the metal though. Even foam core would be too thick.
