[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6721269, member: 336"] Unlikely, [URL="https://dwarven-forge.myshopify.com/pages/products"]Dwarven Forge[/URL] are pricy, but wonderful. A keep with several rooms will require more than one set, and each set is about $90-$120. I have several Dwarven Forge sets and I would not use it to create a complete building, but only the significant parts I'm going to use. No real skill required. Pick the walls and floor pieces you want to use and put them where you want them. Yes, they come prepainted, and also in a dark gray ready to paint material if you want to save some money. Assembly is rather easy, though elaborate builds will require more of sets and can be time consuming. Yes, the boxes the materials come in are built for long term storage. Storage can be an issue as they take a lot of space. Assembly and disassembly is the part that takes time. Mapping out a dungeon can be time consuming because you have to find the pieces you want to use, etc. The quality and detail of the materials is fantastic. I don't use them as often anymore because it was time consuming to build on the fly. Setting up and leaving for several sessions worked best for my group. There might be other comparable prebuilt/prepainted 3d dungeon products out there but I can't speak for them. I've used [URL="http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/"]paper models[/URL] from Worldwork Games for some of the same stuff and that works about the same, except that storage can be much easier, and it is much more cost effective. If you are in the creative mood you can look at [URL="http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/molds.html"]Hirst Arts molds[/URL] and create the entire pieces one brick at a time, but that can be extremely time consuming, will require painting, and would not be a project for most 7 year olds. Hope the info was helpful. [/QUOTE]
