We recently had a weekend of Dungeoneering and it was great fun, so much so that it made me want to finish my custom made dungeon. However after much deliberation I decided to switch my one quarter finished project to 15mm scale, the 28mm scale project was taking far too much time and effort. With this in mind I did some research and came across the Pendraken ready built dungeon. It is sold as 10mm scale but the squares are 16x16mm so 15mm size models are usable. I ordered enough components to make the WHQ set plus a few more as I intend to use it for my own dungeon game.

The pile of dungeon washed and ready to be painted.

I had to cut some bits and add them to various sections to ensure they matched the WHQ dimensions.

The dreaded T junctions! (and corner)

More to follow.

EDIT

The new T-Junctions and corner to WHQ specifications.

Dungeon in a day! Not entirely happy with the dungeon rooms, might have to make some small wall sections to make them more enclosed.

The "Heroes" (Hopefully get some paint on them tomorrow).
Necromancer and Zombie entourage

Wolfman

Various Vampires

The Town Watch

15mm is so much easier, I think I might play everything in this scale from now on!

I wasn't entirely happy with the way it turned out so I decided to put a little more effort in (I'll readily admit the first go was a bit half arsed!)

I especially wasn't happy with the exterior finish so I decided to add a little detail.

Old T Junction

New Look T Junction

Pictures are brutal! they expose every little miss stroke of the paint brush!

Anyway I think it looks a lot better and will probably do the rest of the dungeon like this.

Anybody know why my pictures are cut in half when I post but look fine when I do a post preview? is it a website thing or a my incompetence thing?

Cheers

The pictures are to big for the frame. If you tap on them you still see the whole thing. I usually re size on photobucket to around 800 width before taking URL.

Awesome looking though. Can't wait to continue the very long saga we have embarked upon.

Thanks, I am working on the first of the new rooms at the moment.

I'll try that resizing thing too.

Cheers,
Dave

I can see them all fine on my laptop - probably a screen resolution issue.

Not a very exciting update but an update nonetheless.

Finished 3 corridor sections.

Half finished the first dungeon room too, hoping to get that completed in the next 48 hours.

Cheers,

Getting there slowly, hopefully have the rest of the corridors done by the weekend.
