So I made some interior cave floors. Yes, the bridge and well are removable and based off of Scotty's tutorials. These are really fresh and still need to be touched up around the edges. I play on making it a much longer series of cave rooms and tunnels leading to an underground throne room. I'm personally pretty happy with how these turned out. Really easy to make, too. I cut out the pieces from cardboard, brushed on Elmers Glue with a wet brush in a nice thick layer, poured sand with tiny rocks on top, and let it dry. Bumped off the excess sand and painted it straight black, then dry brushed some white and granite gray to make it pop. The raised area on the top left piece is just a piece of foam that I followed the same method to embellish. Next up, a foam cave wall with little holes for beasties to jump out of. I don't like using foam as much as cardboard, it soaks up paint and makes a huge mess when carving, but it has a nice texture. Followed the same method as above for making this one, too. Finally, the cave entrance. Carved out some foam into the general shape and covered it with tin foil. SMOTHERED it in glue and poured on the sand. Dry brushed the color on. All the pieces need to be touched up and finished. Especially the cave entrance, but I'm happy with how they're turning out. What do you guys think I could do to improve the look? Any better methods than I used to make these? Any feedback appreciated. Happy crafting. Here's a few more pics. Also gonna share a quick little outdoor path I did leading to it. Just foam bricks and flocking. Happy crafting!

Love it, especially the path with the brick barriers. I think that would make a great random encounter location, too.

I think it looks fantastic! You did a great job there. I especially like the bridge. Maybe you could add some kind of moss or mould or just a bit green colour sponged on the cave tiles. Would give it a nice little detail. Or even some gloss for some wet spots.

Moss isn't a bad idea at all. And unfortunately, I havent the knowledge to craft a hamster cage. Thanks guys.

DMG had a good tip for styrofoam to stop it from being so messy when you're working with it - if you mist it a bit with some water it stops it from being so static charged and cleanup is much easier.
