Having a drill bit break and the rest goes into my thumb usually into the bone. Done this more times than I can count.

I was asked on another forum for a how to. Here is a quick an dirty run down of the process.
Built the basic structure out of foamex and liquid nailed chunks of bark onto the walls and floor. Filled the voids with foam. Glued some 3d printed pieces that will end up textured too.
Made a piping bag out of baking paper. Used the bag to put blobs of filler in between the chunks of bark and then used a wet brush to texture the filler.
Once all of the spaces are covered in filler and set I add bits such as permanent details and rubble.

I finished two more sections.
First has three parallel hallways. The highlighting is a bit strong but it is usable.
Second has one large chamber and two dead ends.
More broken pots.
A couple of shots with minis for scale.
There are more photos on my blog if you are interested.

To date I have had one piece. I was quite happy with the detail and quality of the material compared to the previous bones incarnations. Mould lines are still an issue but it sanded much better than the original bones.
The biggest problem that I had was it was brittle. I remove integral bases and rebase. With Bones I normally cut off excess with a clipper and then do a clean cut with a razor saw level with the bottom of the feet. First clip of the base next to a leg shattered the leg and some cloak right off. Once I knew about it I changed my approach but I was a bit surprised when it occurred. The shatter was clean so I was able to glue it back and only had to gap fill one tiny crack.
It was not much of an issue that can be addressed but it is part of the learning curve for the material.

Starting another project. I have always wanted a modular cave system but was torn between making small fully modular sections or larger set tiles. Both have their pluses and minuses. I ended up deciding to do 12 inch square set tiles. It will be modular enough for what I want to do and it will be more practical to store. Based on foamex walls with bark and spackle texturing. First one is pretty much done. Just need to tone down the pottery and skeleton a bit. Hope you like.
Hope you like.

Very nice build all round. What did you use for the lamp?

Very nice job all around and I can't add more to what has already been said. I wanted in on this KS so bad but the budget would not cover it so I will have to order now and pay the expensive shipping.

Same here. Space is becoming an issue in my garage.

P.S - I really dig those birch trees, you did a great job on the trunks and bark. Very authentic!
I did a tutorial on those years ago. It is still up on the old teregenesis site. Just duck duck or googlefoo snitchythedog and birch trees. Very cheap and easy.

I didn't do any head swap
The metal Damaris doesn't have a hat, if that's what you mean...
Completely missed the metal one. Have a new model for my wish list. 👍

I do like the head swap.

I could but it is not worth the effort. Past about a foot they are not discernable and the 3d printed layers show well closer up. It was just a fun little project much like my trap markers.

Finished a second one. Over the top on gore but still fun. Might use these in a dead end trap room. Have the swarms released once the players are all the way in.

I like it as is. It is after all ethereal and should look different. Maybe tint the white slightly green or yellow to blend it a bit better.

“Listen, those terrapin got a viscous streak a mile wide, they're killers. Just look at the bones!"
I was testing out my 3d printer by printing the same file at different scales. I had to decide what I was going to do with all those tortoise that I printed. I figured a tortoise swarm would be frightening.

But before I stop myself, what is this used for? I'm not in the model rail hobby, so I'm sure I'm missing something big. Just struggling to see what.
It is used to simulate masses of branches in trees and bushes. You cut chunks out of the mass of rubberized hair, tease it out to separate the fibres a bit, glue it in place, trim to shape then use spray adhesive to add the flocking. It gives you more natural looking foliage.
Used it in all of these.

I have been wanting this stuff for ages, thank you! And you're right--Bill the Pony is an anomaly. Most ponies are right sour buggers.
I posted the same toot on the Leadadventure Forum and someone put out a link for a stateside company that is supplying it on that side of the pond. Cheaper than a pony. 👍

Yours are the best two examples that I have seen painted. Well done.

They have me at more lizard men. Still waiting for the stirges. 😒

I did not pick up the Cockatrice pack last time. Now I am kicking myself. Loverly work on all.

Much happier that now the dungeon and Egyptian stuff is out. I just hope that both make it. Very bummed that the stirges have not made an appearance yet.
