Very effective.

Thank you all.

The toilet paper technique is used both on the statues stands and on the cavern walls :

I use wallpaper powder adhesive.

First I put a thick layer of glue on the cardboard.
Then I place a sheet of toilet paper.
I cover the toilet paper with another layer of glue.
The paper must be completly wet. It's paper mache... (it crumples a bit under the brush what make the desired effect)

I'll try to take some photos this week-end if I can.

I especially like the organic grid design. Looks like you have the same "heroic" miniatures I got from Caesar miniatures. Did you also get the awesome troll mini with those?

Nice work farfade, just one bit of advice, try painting the torch flames with white and yellow at the bottom, and cooling toward the top with orange, then red.. looks more like a real flame.
Also, loved seeing a pot of tea on the gaming table.. what are those character sheets? Looks like the 4th ed game screen you have there..

sgtslag: randywest: just found Wargames Atlantic, five types, 28mm plastic fantasy. wargamesatlantic.com/collections/classic-fantasy, wargamesatlantic.com/collections/rgd-gaming. Cheers! Sept 21, 2020 17:02:03 GMT

sgtslag: Ran out of Hot Glue, with only five hills left to add a skirt to the sides of. Wal-Mart closes at 8:00 PM, thanks to COVID. GRRRrrr! Another 30 minutes of work, and I would have been done: ~77 hills, modular, perfectly matching my table's ground cloth! Sept 23, 2020 2:50:39 GMT

sgtslag: Hoping to acquire a Chop Saw within the next two weeks. Then I will cut up MDF into triangles, to form the skeleton of my d20 fantasy world globe... Posting will follow, with how-to guide.
