the Well of Lost Stars

-

 with my D&D group's campaign came to a conclusion last weekend,
i needed some thing to let the one group of characters to transfer from my campaign
to a fellow group member, Jon's campaign.

so i thought what i could do or even use for an easy transfer.
i thought i'll use a plot device to teleport the group of heroes to where the
next campaign will begin.

the Well of Lost Stars.


the main part of this terrain piece was part of a failed 3-d print of the Stargate,
from the movie of the same name.
i have another piece that was printed just not as thicker,
i might make it into another Well.


the band of heroes investigates the Well of Lost Stars.
"what could this be?" the tricky rogue, Usagi asked curiously.


to make the green substance is basically some amount of paint and Elmer's glue.
i took a light shade of green and mixed it in the glue,
then i filled the inside area with the mixed glue and finally added a
few dots of a darker green.
i ran a toothpick around, in a way to mix the two shades and sat it aside to dry.
it took roughly two-three days for the glue to completely dry.



death from behind, he will never see it coming...

    That looks awesome, and is a great use of a failed print. Love the vortex effect inside it too. Inspiring to see a failed 3D print put to such terrific use, especially as its helped become the focal point to an upcoming new D&D adventure. Good work all round.

    Great stuff. Transferring campaigns is sometimes tricky, but it looks as if you handled this very 'well'.

operation MotU: wave 5

this wave i don't have much happening. i have been painting miniatures in order of original release starting back in 1981. i don't have a miniature for every character that was made. even though during the original toy runs of the MotU action figures they were releasing She-Ra related figures and also Snake Men alongside the MotU, i'm planning on painting them as whole faction groups. in wave 5, i have mainly Heroic Warriors which consists of Extendar, Stonedar, Snout Sprout, Rokkon and the rest of the Hover Robots. Heroic Warriors. Extendar. Rokkon. Snout Sprout. Stonedar. and the Hover Robots. Fisto raises his steel gauntlet into the air and exclaims, "more the merrier!"

 since our D&D group has been coming to the end of our second campaign, i've been getting some figures that have been sitting around painted. bouncing between the wild west stuff and the getting what i needed done for the D&D campaign, it's been a chore. now since a member of our group, Jon is gonna have a run at dungeon mastering, i can get things painted and done that's not D&D related. here are just a few figures i did this past week. i have several orcs and goblins i want to do for Orctober so i'm saving those for then. i have a few more D&D odds and ends to do, but i have been starting to do a little prep work for my follow-up campaign after Jon's, collecting figures and basing them. catalog what i have and what i will need. a vampire, but not just a vampire. a pivotal figure in our recent campaign, the heir to the throne. looking back at what could of been..... a half-elf cleric. i used this figure for a character i created for a short time as

temple ruins

some time ago i ordered several pieces of 3d printed terrain from a company called Ender Toys off of Amazon. pretty nice product, not much cleaning or what not. to hide the majority of the print lines and such i used Mod Podge spray. gave the terrain pieces two or three sprays and left to dry for a day or two. then went over with a flat black prime coat, then used a Granite Gray from Apple Barrel paints for the dry brushing. Valkia and her mage apprentices searching for a lost relic. took some Games Workshop graveyeard tombs and created a ruin mausoleum of some sort. a necromancer and cohort are trying to raise the spirit of the long dead warrior... with some ghouls haunting the grounds. a fearless dwarf fighter faces off an Orc barbarian. Victory or Death!! as i was writing this post i was finishing up the last few pieces of the ruins. with two of them i sawed and glued back together into T-sections, so i wouldn't have just straight pieces all over the place. come to think of it,
