No secret that i love heroquest and other cliche fantasy games ;D And i managed to get a game over easter which was great fut, but what ticks me off is how all the pieces slide over the board with the slightest nudge! Arrgh! Frustration! Plus the scenery in heroquest is dodgy cardboard or detail-less plastic...
So its time to fix this problem and create something quality for the dungeon!

So armed with a graphics tablet and a spare evening, i created a replacement door set. Here are some pics fresh from the printer. (Sorry about the blue tint, camera doesnt like taking photos inside the UV cure box ... my eyes dont like it much either to be honest...)

Closed Door

Open Door
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e146/Eddievedda/SAM_0897_zps94cae3d5.jpg)

One print artifact at the top of the door >.< dont know why its doing that, think its a hardware problem. Bit ill clean that up once i do a resin master. Ignore the support structure under the door!

Im going to cast these in bronze for that extra weight, and do a rubber lazer cut grip to stick on the bottom of each door (like under your mousemat) so no more slippy doors!

When my fiancee bought me heroquest for christmas last year I almost cried with happiness. That game has a soft spot for me, as it was a childhood favourite (even though I never learned how to actually play it, I had fun making up my own games!). This is absolutely amazing! I really hope you get around to redoing all the scenery, including the stone tiles, secret doors, start stairs etc. If you put these up for sale, let me know!

Will probably be in store in a few weeks :D Have a trap door, done with brass, but something is making it cloudy and its not shiny.... little annoying, will keep playing with the formula. But it has more weight than resin.

Also to launch the dungeon section in the store, will have a sewer themed modular board available ;) Perfect for skaven scenarios. Piccys in a week or two.

And not dungeon stuff, but am sorting a few alien eggs out, just need to do a closed varient.

Awkward moment when my girlfriend sees them and goes "Aww how sweet, your making little orange flowers!". My reply was "Err yea, thats it... flowers!" - this sounded a lot better than 'Actually no, they are eggs for alien monsters that copulate with your face, which are designed from female genitalia'...

If you really want to freak people out you should make them based on Geiger's prototype; the one with the actual vagina on top. :P

Sewers :D and now i have nearly painted a complete set of them. 2 more rooms and straight sections i think, then a bridge is needed and an entrance room type.
All available on store for the cheapest price i can cast for without giving up eating and resorting to photosynthesis.
