I think trying to fray it some should do the trick, but it is a great choice of material for the detail.
Overall looking very good from your initial grey work.. the mossy, dank nature of a dungeon is really coming through now.

Looking good.
The cork tile is very effective and a good bit cheaper than moulded plaster.

Yes - agree - and probably much faster build process as wellOriginally Posted by Harry
Your builds are coming along very nicely Andy and the use of cork is a good idea and provides you with a lot of build flexibility. Cheers Eboli.
Yeah cork is great, and cheap if you're prepared to shop around....... picked these up on eBay for £2.25 delivered!
think I might make some columns and pillars for doorways, any other suggestions?

My suggestion would be buy more wine and save the corks.

Good suggestion on the wine! I am actually thinking of starting another thread on 'budget/junk terrain'. Loved the old WD articles where they showed you how to make something out of a cereal packet and a toothpaste lid etc.
Any way, I was in London and found my way to Leisure games who stock Reaper mini's..........
A bit of 'Girl Power' in the dungeon now!
WIP Imperial Noble.
Still lots to do but thought I'd share anyway

If you let too many girls into the dungeon, you won't be able to see your friends as much anymore, you will have to watch Glee instead of the footy and you will be wearing Pink polos instead of your black metellica t-shirt.
Just saying

Teh Wastes is a required evil, if you shut it down we would all spill out into the 'main' forums *boo!* *hiss!* and cause havoc...
OMG please do this. It sounds awesome.

Lol orlanth! Although are you suggesting that playing with muscley men with oversized swords is more manly?
Benvolio- in the summer probs. thinking a collaborative thing where everyone chips in little money saving tips for the newbies!
Great idea for a thread.
Talking of budget ... have you seen the new Reaper BONES line of minis. Great minis at a fantastic price.
I ordered mine up from Miniature Heroes ... Got a big ogre, a troll, a werewolf and a giant Purple worm all for a couple of quid each.

Yeah the bones range looks good- planning on buying exactly what you did actually! Unfortunately Leisure games didn't have them in stock- is miniature heroes an online store?
Yes.They were very quick and hassle free. It seems the guy there just orders in pretty much whatever folks want.

Had a go at that 'budget terrain' thread..... would be great if you guys had a go and posted
Here's a quick 'mock up' of what a doorway would look like.......
Much simpler than my other ones, but a helluva lot quicker to make! (Will add detail from my bits box)
Always liked the concept of alternate archways and access pieces; something hopefully I get time to explore as I paint away merrily. Very interested in your results as you build more arch ways with these parts.
Doors are not something I've put too much thought into yet but I think just as much character can be put into them as a full-blown custom room. I suppose what I am trying to get at is thanks for the food for thought!
The cork pillars are looking great! If you wanted to you could always stack up some spare ones to make freestanding pillars for your rooms to block line of sight etc.
Nice laser cutting andy, whats next for the dungeon?
Oh lamentations why oh why have you fallen to the darkness of poetry and zen thoughtsI want dirty MOMUS back
Have made the columns so going into work tomorrow to cut the hardboard bases for them
have been playing on the laser cutter
a sneak peak of another project I'm working on (this is WIP)
