[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1064478, member: 6588"] Thanks! Hmmm, not positive - building it took a couple of evenings - I already had most of the blocks cast. Doors took another night to mold and paint. Painting the building was 90 minutes or so. If you can build a Hirst Arts building you can build this - it is not that difficult. I used a bunch of different molds, but it could really be built with just two: The Dragon's Inn Circular Tower Wow! Hard to say. The casting would take a long time if done specifically for the project. I would guestimate you're talking about 18-20 castings (more if you are just using the two molds I mentioned) - That's going to be the big time eater. Construction can be accomplished in a couple of evenings work. Painting went fairly quickly - around an hour and a half. I made the doors and painted them in another evening. I use Die-Keen green high impact dental plaster. It is very durable and great to cast with. It's durability is comparable to the resin used in master maze. Once I started using it I gave all the building I have made out of plaster of paris away to friends. It runs about $65.00 for 50 lbs. That's a lot of blocks and it is worth every penny. I do have an advantage there, we game over at a friend's (hwoolsey on here). I put a group of large merchandise drawers in there and all of my buildings and dungeon pieces go in it. I store the pieces in a box segmented with cardboard dividers. I pad the dividers with a thin lair of foam or polystyrene. Obviously, you know about the [URL=http://www.hirstarts.com/]Hirst Arts Site[/URL] , but I'll share this link with others. Another site you might check out for a bit of inspiration is [URL=http://ryan.skow.org/]Skow's Medieval terrain[/URL]. He has not updated for a long time, but his stuff is really cool. [/QUOTE]
