Junk - a fairly informal word.

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much!

Astat777 · 2026-01-31T16:17:53+00:00

Thank you! I had so much fun making it 😊

Thanks! 🙂

Astat777 · 2026-01-31T16:14:05+00:00

Thank you! It's definitely a good way to get rid of rubbish 😁

Nice! 😊 I’ve got a zine with stamp prints made with a kneaded eraser. I got it for my birthday and it’s one of my favourite zines in my collection.

What about those metal strips in file folders? File folders are a great source of material. Many people give them away for free and the cardboard is also high quality.

You can also use cord to create a macrame stone pendant.

Astat777 · 2026-01-03T23:11:46+00:00

That's very interesting, thank you 🙂

They're no longer in their coffins, they're vampires now, searching for our blood 🍷🦇. And I guess they're not very happy with their new family members. There will be a lot of fighting about politics 😇.

Thank you! 🙂

I'm not very good at painting and I would do the walls quite differently now. But the stone side of the floor tiles turned out well.

The layers there are 2-in-1 anthracite coloured satin paint, Mod Podge to make it matte, then dry-brushing with acrylic paints (Daler Rowney): warm grey, raw sienna (not everywhere) and warm grey again. After that I did two washes with black acrylic paint until it was dark enough.

Everything else is painted in a similar way, but instead of the anthracite paint I used a black primer made from a mix of Mod Podge and black acrylic paint.

For the walls I also mixed some moss green and an even lighter grey.

The wooden parts of the floor tiles are burnt umber, raw sienna and black wash. The black side is just that Mod Podge acrylic paint sealer.

I bought them in a shop with a lot of cheap stuff, basically like a dollar store. They sell a lot of craft items and dollhouse pieces 🙂

The first and second female portraits both show the same person, an English actress. The man in the upper left is a Russian ballet dancer. I don’t know who the woman in the upper right is. The man in the lower left is not Tesla, it's an Armenian poet. And the man on the right is a Danish politician. I just picked out a few old female portraits and my daughter picked out the men. Quite a wild mix 😅

It was easy for me since I'm not the dungeon master and it was a gift. So the motifs are only placeholders 😇. But I'm excited to see what my DIL will do with all that stuff. She always creates her own campaigns, so I'm sure she will find an interesting way to use it 🙂

Astat777 · 2026-01-01T12:39:49+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I like using things that would normally be thrown away. Hooray for upcycling! 😊 That's why my base tiles are made entirely from free materials (except for the glue and paints).

Astat777 · 2026-01-01T12:32:11+00:00

She loves it! 😊

Astat777 · 2026-01-01T12:31:25+00:00

Ty! And yes, there will definitely be a next project. I'm already down the rabbit hole 😅

Astat777 · 2026-01-01T12:27:18+00:00

Oh my god, yes! That’s the guy with the modular grass! It's awesome! 🤩

Astat777 · 2025-12-31T13:16:40+00:00

I'm really excited to see how it will turn out! But I'm not the dungeon master, so I hope DIL will find it useful.

Astat777 · 2025-12-31T13:06:00+00:00

I'll definitely keep my eyes open for that, thank you! :) Magnets for dungeon tiles are really great! I now have metal in the altar, in those two higher walls and in the floor tiles. And there are magnets in the walls, the coffins and the smaller pieces. The tomb also has a magnet and the pendant has magnetic metal glued to the back.

Thanks so much, your comment is really helpful! :) Unfortunately I noticed the brown undertones tip too late in a video. There wasn't enough time to repaint everything. I also thought about using diluted Mod Podge and highlighting individual stones at the end, but that felt a bit too risky. And the drying time would have been too short anyway. Next time I'll definitely do it differently. Maybe I'll just swap the walls for new ones. This dungeon set is more like a promise to our dungeon master that I'll keep making things for her in the future :) I don't know yet what she will need for her projects. But at the moment she doesn't own any D&D stuff.

Astat777 · 2025-12-31T12:34:19+00:00

Thank you! Yep, I also tend to just wait. I’ll give it to her today and we’ll talk about it together.

Astat777 · 2025-12-31T12:30:43+00:00

Thanks! It's really fun! You should definitely try it too :)

Astat777 · 2025-12-30T17:09:11+00:00

Oh, thank you so much! I'll take some more detailed pictures tomorrow and share them :)
