A dungeon/Prison scene...Ideas?

ender098 Veteran Offline --> Posts: 3,665 --> Join Date: Dec 2005	A dungeon/Prison scene...Ideas? I'm trying to build a top notch prison/dungeon scene for my dio story. I tried using gray cardboard fro the background, but it pretty much sucked! (see my "Mindbender back to life" pic!) I'm thinking of printing out some dark grey brick wall patterns for the walls and stone for the floors and seeing how that works. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I have an idea!!

Find a good base card colour for the walls.. The grey is fine.. then get a set of acrylic paints and mix black and white together to make a darker dull grey (but not quite black). Get a sponge and cut out the sponge into two parts to make two bricks.. when you dip the sponge into the paint mix it absorbs and you can press the effect onto the paper as you like. Wait for it to dry.. I have a picture here of the castle, throne room (work in progress) The walls look really good. Maybe the room or bricks would be too big for your prison or dungeon. But if its a dungeon.. I was thinking castle.. and usually they didnt have standard sized bricks.. they were usually huge stones.. __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I mostly use print outs or spray paint for my sets, but that idea from Rich is awesome. Great work Rich, and thanks for sharing it! __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

Hey Frank.

Castles and their domains are one of my specialities. If you can get to a Michael's Art store, or have someone make a run for you, they carry a great craft scrapbook paper from a company called "Provost", called "stone path". I use it quite a bit for castles, for city streets, and even for period domains such as the ones I have done for Wowboy, General Hawk, and others. Makes great foundation, and can be hit with a matte sealer to remove the shine of the paper.
