Re: Something a bit different but related

Nice work! It looks like a fun project. At first I was confused about the large blue wall, but then I realized it was supposed to represent the mold.

What is the purpose of the blue blocks under the normal blocks 3 photos up?

Re: sealing a plaster original to make a silicon mold of it

You can paint the tile with any type of flat spray paint. Flat black is a good choice if you want to dry brush grays on top of it.

However, the whole purpose of making a mold is to use the mold and make castings from it - without harming the original. In most cases the original is never used in a ...

Re: Working on Cryptstone

Yes I do. This is the texture I wish I had started with at the beginning of the whole mold making thing. My overall plan is this:

I have a large project in the background of my mind which kind of fuels the projects and directions of this next series of molds. This project is to make a modular board ...

Re: I'm looking for ideas for Bolt Action European theater buildings

I'm thinking you meant to say Bolt Action. One project you might draw ideas from is the brick dice tower at https://hirstarts.com/haunt/haunt.html . The brick should be just about the right scale. The other brick mold is at https://hirstarts.com/brickdungeon/brickbasic.html .

You probably already ...

Re: Working on Cryptstone

They're actually fairly close. The texture on mold #350 is what led me to go ahead with molds #20 and #24.

The differences are that the bricks on mold #350 are not randomly recessed and the bricks are slightly less in height than 1/4".

Re: Wall on Center dungeon design and examples

Excellent! Thank you for the explanation and the photos.

One of the future projects I will do will be similar to this. The only difference will be that the walls will be "L" shaped, similar to my Low Wall Dungeon project, only using regular blocks instead of the low wall pieces.

Re: Thoughts about the new message board.

I believe you tried to add a photo by clicking on the little square button with the photo icon above where you type your message. This is where you can put a link to a photo located somewhere else on the internet. In order to use this icon you would need to put a web address between the "img" tags ...

Re: Working on Cryptstone

I painted these using the exact same dry brushing method as all of my other projects. Since the bricks are recessed, they naturally appear darker because the dry brushing cannot reach down as well into the recesses. It works really well.
