Balls to the ...

WALLS! Here is another post update on my massive Dungeon X project, which by now you could have guessed is broken into smaller projects, one of which is using dungeons for Super Dungeon Explore!
But this update is about those walls, the many many walls I need. i decided to break it down into what I need for the most recent Dungeon mini I have now dubbed SDE Dungeon 6. Really I should just break down and finish Dungeon X, but I have a big project on my plate and trying to finish that- I think if I were to have a year off work, I might (not really) be able to finish alot of my projects. There is just not enough time and too much to do!

So without rambling on even more, I will present the pics you came to see. The walls of  The Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings, Treasures and Tombs, and Vault of the Anchients from WorldWorks Games.

So...many...walls

Here you can see a total of 71 walls! All varying in size from 3" and 6" long.

There are a few double high walls and a great big door!

Various artwork for the standard 6" long wall. There are 10 of these so far.

Various artwork for the standard 3" long wall. There are 28 of these so far.

Special 6" long wall posing as a great door and 4 3" long archways.

Various artwork of the Anti-warp 6" long walls. These are cool and I will show them more in another post. There are 14 of these here.

 Various artwork of the Anti-warp 3" long walls. Again I will show them more in another post.

There are 19 of these here.

BTW, WorldWorks Games is currently having a Christmas sale on most of their products. I know I am getting a new set or two (or 3 or 4...).

I think this is all I need for SDE Dungeon 6 (probably more than need). I will do another post later hopefully this month about putting it all together and show some in game pics as well. Hopefully.

Back to painting now.

Floored!

Well, as promised, I was able to finish off the floors for this massive beast called Dungeon X. Although, its not all the floors...just the ones I need for now, for SDE Dungeon. Regardless, I will be able to use them for both...
Enough rambling on, time for some pics!

 outlines of the floor tiles. These were printed on sticker paper,

much easier to do this way incase of mistakes.

 

 Floor tiles all cut out and ready for fitting.

Floor tiles all ready to go, bits and all.

And thats just the beginning! Now we add those colors of beautiful tiles. I print all my floor tiles on sticker paper which makes it easier to assemble. The only issue I run into (sometimes) is the links stick to the tile if used right away.
And more pics of the finished floor tiles!

 All finished and grouped for the picture.

 Here are the 6"x6" floor tiles (14 total)

 3"x3" tiles, 14 total

6"x3" floor tiles, 10 total

These are the white tiles I printed out for now.

A late addition!! These I decided to make at last minute, after the initial set of pictures were done.

Red floor tiles, for those special rooms.

So there they are. A total of 18 large tiles (6"x6"), 10 halls (6"x3"), and 14 of the small tiles (3"x3"). These are just what I finished not all what I have completed, that will be for another post.

There are technically 3 different colors of floor tiles used here, grey (from the Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings), white, and red (both from the Vault of the Ancients expansion). All are from WorldWorks Games. I say "technically" because midway thru this project my printed died and I had to get a new one. Some of the grey printed out darker with the new printer. And then I ran out of ink (trying to print different things at once) so another set of tiles appear bluish-grey. Live and learn, they all work and thats what counts.

For now this is as far as I am getting with this project. I will start next on the many, many walls I will need - but that might be after my next project.

Going Post-al

Catchy title, no? Well this post is during my vacation, which is more of a staycation. I stayed home but am getting paid because I am on vacation, just didnt go anywhere. I stayed home and got stuff done. Painting, for 1. Cleaning for another. For the third, I worked on the dungeon I have dubbed Dungeon X.

In part, I now realize Dungeon X is hugh! About 2'x2' area and 3 levels, 4 if you count 2 of the room tops I am making. So I was building other, smaller(ish) dungeons in the Planer. The one I am working on most right now I have dubbed SDE Dungeon 5. It is about half the size of Dungeon X. 2'x2' area and only 2 floors height. I plan on using it for Super Dungeon Explore when I get my copy. Hence the name SDE Dungeon. Yes, it is the 5th I have designed, and the one I like the most currently. Although it works for both dungeons, this will still be tagged under Dungeon X for ease of finding it.

Enough babbling, time for some pics. As you can guess from the title, this is all about the posts-the ones that connect the walls...

 2-way corner, 3-way center, and 4 way center posts.

 40 of the 2-way corner posts

 30 of the 3-way center posts

10 of the 4 way center posts

As I said, a lot of posts. Next I am working on the flooring. I hope I will be able to finish most of those in the next day or so, but I am painting at the same time to take breaks between each project.

Dungeon Week Day 1

Update to this weeks self imposed Dungeon Week. Yesterday I was able to print off more pages that I found I needed from WorldWorks Games terrain. I decided to start off the week with a little post construction. I found for this new Dungeon, I need a total of 40 2-way corner posts, 30 of the 3-way center posts, and 5 of the 4-way middle posts. With these I will be part way to the totals I need for Dungeon X. Also I needed 4 of the 3" wide stairs and decided to also make use of making 3 1" stairs extra.

Well enough babbling on, here are some pictures::
 

All 40 of the 2-way posts have been fully assembled, and 1 3" staircase. The 3-way center posts have been cut out and just need final assembly as well as the other staircases. Tomorrow I will continue their work and start on more floor tiles. 

Until then, watch where you cut.

Stairway to....

So today I was able to finish up all the stairs needed for my Dungeon X project. If we remember from last time, Dungeon X is a project for a dungeon I designed that will use WorldWorks Games papercraft dungeon sets Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings, Treasures and Tombs, and Vault of the Ancients.
During the past week I also had to redesign the dungeon because, well frankly, stairs cannot go thru the floors ;P So this update I present my stairs, fully assembled and edged ready for placement into the soon to be dungeon.

Newest stack of pages that need to be assembled to complete Dungeon X

 Stair pieces cut out and ready for assembly

 First side glued, now for the second side

 Stairs completed! This is the 3" stairs.

 Now I know what your thinking: Paper? No way..but yes, look how sturdy it holds this Mariner from Privateer Press - a full metal miniature. Sturdy and no bending.

 My full set of stairs needed for Dungeon X. 7 in total. 2 of the 3" wide and 5 of the 1" wide stairs...but you can count that already.

Well onto more features later - in this dungeon will be alot of cool features and I cant wait to begin more work on it.

Dungeon X

Well I return this week to dungeon building :) After being held on a commission paint job last week (Chan Li, Martial arts Master), and recently purchased TerrainlinX Model Planner from WorldWorks Games, I got addicted to designing and playing around with all the features. Quite fun indeed. So last night at work (I work the graveyard shift) I designed a dungeon rough sketch and put into the planner today. I figured this will take a while, working a bit on it each day between painting as well. I will keep updates here under this title (Dungeon X).

Although I have yet to think of a proper name, or way to use it, I thought it would be fun to design a dungeon again. There will be a total of 5 floors within. Party will start on the second floor and work their way towards the 4th, the 1st floor will compose of a ruined floor and a large room where something awaits them most evil, as the bottom floor is 2x as high as the others.

Here is a rough sketch I did at work. Sloppy, I know, but it gives me a rough idea of overall layout.

I will follow up with the first floor after I finish printing out all these pages I need. Floors, anchors, posts, walls, and more....afterall I get to try out my 2 new boosters for the Lost Halls of the Dwarven Kings Treasures and Tombs and Vault of the Ancients
