Just a little something
Get a room
Well, this is the last day and I have a few little bits to cover off on before it’s all over.
Just the odd touch-up here and there and I am pretty much happy with what I’ve done.
For this project, I deliberately tried to stay away from too much 3D printing and used XPS foam for the bulk of the work. Sure, there are some 3D printed elements in both resin and PLA, and there is also the use of laser-cut wood components for framing each box. Thankfully I managed to design them myself and found a local company that could cut them to my design.
I tried my best not to add too much in the way of creatures or adventures to this project. I have done some but have left the bulk of them out of here as this was intended to be more about the actual building of the structure rather than populating it.
My initial plan was to just go full-on Victorian Science Fiction caves and mines with Martian spiders but that soon derailed a little into incorporating more typical dungeon stonework. However, I think I have managed to claw that back to something still with a strong VSF or Pulp feel by changing the colours from a more traditional dark grey followed by a drybrush of light grey to something more earthy and then adding Egyptian/Biblical era themed elements. I am confident that with only minor cosmetic changes to removable parts, I can turn the feel of the layout into something dark age should I need to.
So where to from here?
I have several ideas in mind of where to go with this. Now I have all the measurements and methods sorted out, or at least in my mind the plan going forward is to make some larger feature rooms. Following the same plan but twice the length so they still fit in with the pattern.
I also have plans to do more ‘mine’ type sections with wooden supports and the like. this will allow me to then maybe introduce the layout into Western-themed games and will of course be useful in Victoriana.
In addition to that, Fallout is on the cards for this year, and I already have a fair bit planned for that so maybe some Vault pieces to link into the cavern’s pieces.
I guess now that I have the basics done, I can take this in all kinds of directions.
A grand entrance to a forgotten place, for when I want to have games flow from both inside and outside my 'Dungeon'.
3D printed. One of the few 3D printed elements in this build project. I tried to rely more of traditional methods where possible. 
The Iron Maiden, because I want my kids to know this is a cosy welcoming place, and nothing says welcome better than a creepy metal piece of furniture. 
When the miners fled the Prussian onslaught,they literally dropped their tools and ran. pity they didn't think to grab the last few sticks of dynamite.
Abandoned mines and what are those, I wonder if anyone has any knowledge in mycology? I'm sure they look edible.
Sarcophagus. Ancient burial places filled with dusty bones and lost treasures or are they the sleeping chambers for creatures of nightmares waiting to once more draw arms? I kept the lids removable so I can swap the contents of them around, sure they had gold in them last time, can you be sure they have gold in them this time?
The map room. Maybe by the time they reach this room they will have already started to map the area themselves and won't need this reminder.
The cosey living room where a weary traveller can sit back or just stretch out.
Treasure chest, or is it a mimic? I guess there is only one way to find out.
A refreshing fountain of the purest spring water.
And this is where we put the mini robot with camera to run loose and film your epic 7TV cover of Indiana Jones (maybe Allen Quartemain?).
7TV is a system I have looked at many times and been very tempted with just have never gotten around to pressing the go button on it. How do you find it plays? would you describe it as an easy game to pick up and play and more importantly learn and teach others?
