I had posted a thread about advice on creating a cave entrance on the old forum and it doesn't look like it made it over to the new forum (unless I just can't find it). I am finally getting around to crafting my cave entrance and was hoping some of you other crafters could post pics of some of your work. Mine will be out of the beaded foam that I am cutting with a soldering iron (with lots of ventilation). I will post updates here as it progresses. Thanks

Nice! Nothing more sinister than a doorway in a rocky cliff face!

Thanks Monkey, yours was one of the ones on the old forum that I really wanted to see. Did you use anything special for texture?

Thanks Monkey, yours was one of the ones on the old forum that I really wanted to see. Did you use anything special for texture? Nope..it's just some polystyrene styrofoam (the beady kind) that I cut then glued together, then brushed on a coat of white glue (to protect it from melting, and crumbling off, when I primered it, as spray primers tend to melt the foam). I then brushed on some of the Apple Barrel brand pewter grey, followed by a drybrushing of their dolphin gray and a touch of white. Simple as pie!

I love that cavern entrance monkeywithtacos. Here is one I've posted elsewhere in the forum: Used dmscotty's gnarled tree method on a paper towel roll, then folded it over, glued the ends to some card stock, and took the glue gun to make some roperish tentacles.

Thanks Monkey. I knew you had painted something on it, I just couldn't remember that it was white glue. Here is where mine is at the moment. From one big piece of foam I was able to come up with 3 different possibilities. Since this is going to be for large creatures (Trolls, Ogres) I decided to go with the larger of the 3. I attached sides to it for archers to be able to shoot from. It used to be an ancient dwarven mine of sorts and has been taken over by the nasties as their home base as they ravish the nearby village and ransack the incoming caravans that resupply it. I will update as it progresses.
