Hello All,
Finally, the family & career axes aligned to allow me a brief time window to post my n00bie cache of craft builds. First up, the following set of pictures are a photographic version of a fly-about; starting with a general 360° pan around the perimeter of a small dungeon set-up. Then it continues through the "front door", into a central room, and then into a study or clerical cell. After that, it goes back across the central room to a small mess hall, and then goes back to an overview but with lights turned low. It then follows the winding hall around to a "back door" (or cellar door, or door to some other part of the dungeon map).
All the while, in each room/location, various furnishings & doors are displayed with a few minis for scale. As for the minis, the drow sorcerer (a samurai mini painted to look like a drow) and the elven ranger are old minis, and do not have the best paint jobs on them. The brute & goblin are from a large cache of GW minis I scored from a guy giving up his gaming and had no one to offload them to. The rogue with the "what-don't-look-at-me-I-didn't-do-anything" expression is a newer mini that is a WIP.
As for the terrain builds, you will see crafts inspired by the following sources:
Test Build for dungeon tiles, made with a combination of 1.) Wyloch's measurements/dimensions & style of squares and 2.) DMGinfo's geometric form factor
Open-able doors per DM Scotty's Tilescapes #006, but with my own paint schemes
LED braziers per DM Scotty's Short Tip #041
Furniture & heavy tables per DM Scotty's DM's Craft #187
Bookshelves per DM Scotty's Short Tip #070, but with my own paint schemes
For most of the shots/views, I tried to include a pic with and without flash so you can see the details in different light.
I have more builds, but I will post them separately.
Pax

Thank you, both.🤝😀
It's good to know that my initial work is made well in your eyes - it helps solidify that my crafting is started down a good path. I know I have a few kinks to work out with my tiles, a few things I'm going to do a little differently (mostly tool use, not necessarily design). And, that I have a long way to go to get down the journey as far as you guys.
I have some more builds, posts pending later this week.

Fantastic workmanship, Credo DM. I hope you, and your players, get an incredible amount of table-time with your work. It is truly well done. What I like most about this approach, is its modularity, and re-usable-ness. It is far more flexible than Dwarven Forge, for example. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! Cheers! |

Waayyelp, with star-gazed emoji antics aside, here are some more of my initial cache of n00bie builds. In this set, you will see crafts inspired by the following sources:
Tables, per DMScotty DM's Craft #091 - in this episode, Scotty shows the technique making round tables. I extrapolated this technique to build both round and square tables.
For the Chairs & Tables builds, instead of using the paint scheme shown in Scotty's episodes, I experimented with my own paint scheme. I wanted a wood-look that you would find on currently-used, well cared for tables and chairs. So, I tried to match the golden/honey stain of my kitchen table. I think it turned out well, albeit slightly darker than I was aiming for. Even still, I like the results enough that I'm keeping the paint mix recipe.
Chairs paint recipe: 1. base coat with Burnt Sienna, allow to dry to the touch, no tacky, but 100% cure is not necessary
2. heavy dry brush against the wood grains with a homemade "golden brown" mix: - 1 part Burnt Sienna - 1 part Golden Sunset - Err on the side of Golden Sunset
3. dry brush highlight ~50% coverage, nicking at edges with a tan (a light coffee like Lite Mocha is too bright)
Tables paint recipe: * Same as Chairs recipe EXCEPT: base coat with Black instead of Burnt Sienna
The set up in the display shown is in a tavern-like setting with no tiles or walls, but you can infer/imagine them - I included much of the doors and furnishings seen in the first set in my OP.
I'll have one more set later within the next week showing my stone scatter terrain builds.
Pax
