That is sweet as hell dude. Yours came out better then mine when I attempted something like this which I am working on a hidden door camoflagued by lichen bushes out front and trees. Yours could be set up in a forest, rocky crag, underdark (with a little different coloration of moss).and miniatures can stand on top to fire missle weapons down upon enemies trying to gain access. I love it...off to attempt another one . Thanks for sharing.

It looks good, the only thing I can suggest is maybe a tree next to the entrence, doesn't need it but if you are unhappy with it that might help.

First of all, you made a thing and posted pictures, so that is excellent in and of itself. Second, you did a damn fine job.
If I was being really nit picky, I would say that there is a lot of foliage growing on top of the boulder, but even so, if it is a rich and dense forest, it is still absolutely fine. Sometimes a little brown, some dusted on green and speckles of very fine white, red or yellow dots (and I mean, really fine) under the lichen or moss, adds to the overgrown rock effect, but its just a representative bit of terrain, no need to break out a microscope! I really like the effect of the cracks and the rusted ring handle on the doors, that really sells the piece and makes it very interesting.. if I was a player, I would want to know what was on the other side of those doors!

Want to know too! The DM just sends me the descriptions and the maps and I build the stuff. So there I am crafting all this stuff and wondering what we've gotten ourselves into. Its game day today so well be finding out what's behind the doors! Hope we all make it.

Very nice. I like the excess foliage, empasises the "abandonned" nature of the place.

LOL, that really cracked me up when I read your subject line then looked at your entrance
who said that to you? they should be ashamed...lol
Honestly, I think once again "Yoda AJ" is 100% correct, and I am in total agreement with him
the piece really looks great, a whole lot better than some stuff I see for sale on Ebay

Thanks for the positve comments and suggestions. We used it in play to day and as I sat there looking at it I made peace with it and everyone had a blast as we went behind the broken stone doors avoiding a curse trap in the process (thank you Mr. Clarke, professional rouge)and ridding the town of the zombie menace!

I will be building something similar very shortly. I hope mine turns out as good as yours did.

Very cool and very intriguing! Now I know what I want to do for the cave entrance coming up up in a few sessions. Hope you don't mind if I borrow (steal) some of you ideas!

Very nice indeed. I've used moss like that before as well. I tried immersing it in watered down glue first, then I poked into rocky crevices until it looked right to me. I also added a couple of coats of watered down glue to try and loose its puffy look. I don't have pictures of it, but my gaming buddies were in awe of the jungle mountain I had made. The extra glue also gives it more strength. that stuff isn't too strong.

looks good.... Good thing about using the foliage is when you have a spot you're not 100% in love with you can cover it up. Seems like a lot of times we tend to be our own worst critic. We notice something we don't like on something we make that no one else looks at or sees. Other people are more impressed with the effect and time put into it to notice that one stray brush stroke or lump that drives us crazy

Looks good as is. If you must tweak, I support AJ's idea of adding some dry brush patches of brown (and other colours, with restraint) on the rock. Brown really breaks the monochromy of lots of grey.
