Re: Some KSVI Painting

d4h, I love your escarpments, that yellow-gold root bundle and the touches of green on the grey stone looks great.

Re: Proposal: dungeon build challenges!

This month's number roll is... 21! Worshipping the Frog God. A denizen of the primeval Dreadhollow Forest, perhaps? Post any new theme suggestions here, and I'll put up a post for the monthly challenge in a moment. :) You say dungeon, I say home sweet home: a "dungeon" that's actually just...

Re: October 2019 theme build challenge: Hole In The Ground

What??? Where is my build gone? I am sure I posted it here. Does anyone remember? A deep hole using mountain pieces beneath a dungeon room. Some deep red light at the bottom? Did the forum maintenance kill my post??? Your build totally disappeared, Rhizom! I remember it as well (and loved it especi...

Re: Casting a big 4" Gem

I find metric is much more effective for searching for this kind of stuff, FWIW. Searching for 100mm gem in google image search or ebay pops up a bunch of giant gems in the $15 range like this one. https://www.ebay.com/i/233007783150?chn=ps&var=532520181113&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=71...

Re: Some KSVI Painting

Oh, on the doors I did fix the red on the one side. I found that the Regal Red does not stick to dwarvenite well as a base coat. It pools really badly. I used the Silver on Reaper Bones and it stuck well, but the Gorgon Bronze did not. The older paints have always stuck well to both in my experienc...

Re: Mild case of Insanity

FWIW, GOW, I have to say I think you are trying to save time in the wrong place. Yesterday I recruited a bit of help to churn through my forest banks pieces in a rush, and it took a completely inexperienced painter literally 1 minute to learn how to do a good moderate drybrush, and with her help, in...

Re: Dreadhollow autumn test piece

I could never do what you do, I'm just not that artistically inclined. I also don't have an air brush. It looks awesome though! Here's my color test for yellow. I'm working on orange and red now. I'm not very good with a brush but I get by.DH_Yellow.jpg DH_Yellow_Orange.jpg I'm using all Pokorny pa...

Re: Issue with Dreadhollow remote control?

@pacarat, I don't have that piece yet, but if it's the same as the Crystal Caverns remote, this type of remote is super generic and I've gotten identical ones with all sorts of LED devices. They're all interchangeable, but the remotes work on the different devices in slightly different ways. So it c...
