Tiles part 6

 Working on some special tile for my rooms. but I ran out of my water medium. Here are a few that are done and almost done.  Small puddle on the floor filled with skulls, one plastic skull and the rest were made from BBs
Double duty rat.  I used a rat from reapers bones and sliced him in half, carved out a hole in the wall and stuck the rear half in.  Started to work on the water.
Second half of the rat, taking a bath, drowning, or just swimming around.  Drilled out the floor stuck the rat in and painted the bottom.  After that dried add "Secret weapons" realistic water medium and let it dry.  I like the stuff and it easy to work with.

Tiles part 4 Special room.

 After getting tired of doing the same room scheme over and over. I did this paint job  with the stripped wall pattern. it really made a big difference and I think add a cool element to the room.







Tiles part 3


The standard paint job. One gray one in sand tone, the photo washes out some of the detailing





Tile continued

 This is about half of the sets I got.  They are great pieces and the staff at Dwarven forge have been great to work with. I should have paid attention the the first wall "Abandon all hope"

Dwarven forge tiles

Been working on a lot of stuff but have been neglecting to post to my blog. here is what I have been doing for the last week.



 Here is a series from the black unpainted piece, base coat and detail to finished tile
Dwarven Forge dungeon tiles:  Got theses Ten sets + extra last year and just started to do them.  They are very easy to paint and I have had fun doing them so far (it's like being a kid with blocks)  I have painted up most of the larger pieces and have been working on painting the mosaic floors and then converting a few pieces.
