Some of my Hirst Arts blocks projects

Had I mentioned how much I liked those sewer pieces? Cuz I do. Particularly the lichen/molds on the walls. I think it'd look great if you had a large patch of it on one section.

Thinking....how about a big patch of yellow mold? You could use the green stuff and then paint it, maybe? Hmmmm.

Could you just use Jell-o or modeling clay -- would that stuff come off easily?

Freaking Stunning!

Man, I cannot wait to cast some blocks myself this weekend. I am stealing the pool idea - very sweet.

Superlative!
 

Wonderful work, Scorch.

When you say "modular dungeon"... does that just mean that you cast it in sections, or that you plan on using portions from this dungeon in future incarnations?

I ask because I bought my first HirstArt molds a little while ago and have been toying with the idea of casting generic dungeon rooms. You know, 20x20 room with a door, or a circular chamber, with some separate pieces for things like columns or magic circles or whatever. I'm not sure if this is possible, and if you are working on a similar project it would be great to get some advice so I could avoid possible pitfalls.

Essentially I create pieces that are based on Dwarven Forge Master Maze pieces. The majority of pieces are perhaps two inch square floor and wall pieces. Some are a little bigger if they are specialty pieces like four inch by two inch corridor pieces and the like. I have them all laid out right now in a spare room. If I can get Valanthe over to take a snap shot of all the piece laid out (not built in the shape of anything) I will post it here.

Yes, please do that. I think it would be really helpful.
 

Really nice work there. I like the columns and the floor detail. I've done some basic work with Hirst Arts, but haven't yet gotten the motivation to do anything large-scale like this. Are you casting with dental plaster? Hydrocal?

Edit:
Here's a shot of my version of the Dragon's Inn among other things (third and fourth thumbnails). As you can see, I was experimenting with a red-brick paint job. Another one of our group did the church shown in thumb #1.

I use Die Keen Green. Expensive but really nice to work with.
