What about an Indiana Jones/Tombraider style ‘ancient ruin’ ?
And use the graveyard for when it is haloween …

(isn’t a graveyard + torture chamber a bit brutal as well ? :D)

Once thats all glued together and on your wall I think you’re going to have huge problems getting your hands in to each of the floors. They either need to be taller, or every other floor needs to be shallower so you have room to reach in. I spotted a portal there. Could be some fun diorama potential there. Could use it to link up two different cabinets. Could have one at each end and have two hales of the same model passing through them both. It could be the final way out of the dungeon with the battle from… Read more »

Wow! So excited to see your process, whether you go that direction or not. No matter the other choices, the two level caverns are a must keep. SO COOL LOOKING!!!!! The well lowering a rope through multiple levels is such a fun idea. Going to be a great opportunity for funny goblin schenanigans. Wonderful use of the columns. I really like how you themed the details on the pieces to flavor the rooms and chambers. Creates a fun sense of narrative. This has been so entertaining you may not want to glue everything together, giving you some future flexibility. Are… Read more »

really love where you go with your idea.
very inspiring and finally something different to display your models than the ikea glass cabinet.
would like to see if someone can make another theme (wo2, SF, history … ?)
i think the cave is the most interesting idea (it reminds me of the cave of the 7 dwarfs from Disney snow white but then a little creepier ?hi?ho to the creepy cave we go ??‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♀️.
on the youtub I saw that they use hot glue rods to make crystals and they even light up with LEDs.

look forward to see the end result.

? ???

this so needs to be played with… before it is frozen in time it needs at least one adventure played in it.

An idea for the caverns is to put a painted backsplash in, remember the old scifi monster and space movies. They would match the film up with painted backgrounds to give depth and world building before cgi effects.

Top layer could be less outside and more dungeon. My thought would be to make the graveyard lead to the mausoleum where the dungeon entrance is located. If you want you could put a portal at the far end of the graveyard where the ‘party’ is standing. -Armory could fit into the extra dungeon space. Lowest level and the caverns. You could put a pool under where the well appears in the ceiling. If you make the pool raised it could contain a green or blue light to bath the area in another color. You might want to dry fit… Read more »

Loving what you are doing with the dungeon it looks great, I personally would keep the above ground and the autumn graveyard sounds fantastic will also add a great point of colour contrasting well with the purplish cave area. Talking of the cave area, I really like the stalagmites and rocky outcrops from the ceiling they really add atmosphere. I think they would look better with a variation in height, either cutting some down or cutting off before printing if you can do that? I was wondering if you were going to do walkways around the 3 storey chamber, possibly… Read more »

I’d really love to see a little counter at the bottom corner of the screen with a running total of how much this storage solution has cost so far. 🙂

Loving the shroom cavern. It reminds my of nights out when I had better knees and smaller trousers.

Ainsty have some lovely graveyard doohickeys to add a bit of variety to Renedra’s

Looking excellent, I’m almost tempted to buy a set of dungeon delving minis just so I can have a wall dungeon diorama as well.
An idea I had (apologies if someone’s already put this forward). If you have room for a long’ish’ corridor along the back of one of the areas, you could put in a mirror at 45 degrees and create the illusion of a long corridor going back into the wall. I think it would look fun.

Looking good, interested to see what those fluorescent paint look like. Have you considered putting something on the ceiling of the cavern so that if you magnets in the bases of some minis then they could be stuck up there?

Really nice!

A full graveyard on top would be neat too… graveyards always hide dungeons!
The cavern would be a lovely addition too and you might add a small pool of water… & tentacles coming out of it! You might consider adding small spots on the stalactites for gobliny types to hide! or bat swarms, cloakers and the like!

Have a nice week of brainstorming!

its warrens Diablo nightmare before covid dungeon table.

The best project ever, so cool! The town, so more Fable less, Diablo. “Stay a while, and listen” Needs the old bloke pointing the adventurers in the right direction. Few ideas off the top of my head. The Old Road: A bumpy road, with twists, haunted looking trees, a wagon bouncing through. Like the Van Helsing wagon chase scene, or the opening cinematic to The Darkest Dungeon. Extra: No idea how you’d pull it off. The top level has a river, that forms, not a cascading waterfall, but a tickle that ends at the bottom in a luminescent pool in… Read more »

Great stuff so far. The cavern needs to be there and I’d love to see a waterfall at one end feeding a river or pool that the well draws from. A lovely resin poured water feature would loom epic. Fluorescent paint might be a bit garish, especially for a decorative wall piece? Could be one to run past your other half first. You could also consider an underground druid’s grove, perhaps lit by some glowing crystals. This could bring some unexpected colour and vibrancy into the piece. In the Forgetten Realms, in the city of Waterdeep, there is a dungeon… Read more »

By the time Warren`s finished, this dungeon and above ground (what ever he decides its going to be) will look bloody amazing. So starting at the top….. I like the cemetery idea (where else would you get your minions from), as you could use one of the crypts as the secret entrance to the dungeon. The well could still be used along side of the cemetery, it may look old and unused falling into disrepair with the odd plank of wood across the opening. The well could of given clean water once, then dried up and forgotten about falling into… Read more »

If you’re still going for a town up top how about a cross section of the town. being able to see into some of the home could give more story chances

Lovely stuff dude, i have one concern though…the graveyard on top is a great idea but you will need to leave enough depth in the ground to allow for corpses to be buried. Currently it’s a bunch of gravestones sat 5mm above a dungeon ceiling…of course the graveyard could be a cunning ruse? Hows about a barrow as your entrance? Or maybe just build up the ground enough to allow you to have a few coffins “6 feet under”. Loving the idea of the autumn theme, you could have little piles of windblown leaves in the dungeon and maybe a… Read more »

Loving the vlog and what’s going on. For my two cents, I would move the pub above ground – would you drink so close to a torture chamber? It seems like two different ideas mashed together- the abandoned mine and the “archetypical” dungeon which for me personally is a little jarring… both ideas are cool, but for me why is there/was there a mine so close to a prison etc, unless slave labour in which case, why is there a pub? I know dm’s can do what they want so it doesn’t have to make sense, but for a display… Read more »

The above ground bit looks really cool. It adds a huge bit of story to the display.

Coming along nicely

What make are the buildings currently on the upper level?

I wasn’t convinced about the tavern being so deep, but when you mentioned goblins, that’ll do it!

Also, big opportunity… under the graveyard, the first level beneath the ground, have a Necromancer commanding minions to dig out the bodies to ‘raise’ (from below) an army of undead and skeletons! If you’re not going to do this, I certainly will one day when I get around to doing this!

Lots of opportunities to merge the above/below ground together. On the surface, have hidden entrances (behind bookcases) that lead to the first dungeon level.
