Mordheim's underground

Hello,

First of all, I apologize for my english writing. Not so young and not willing to become an Shakespeare's language adept

After lurking a long time on Tom's Boring Mordheim forum, I decide myself to post my last WIP : caves, caverns, sewers and catacombs of Mordheim. Modular sceneries of 30x30cm.

All the photos are on : http://www.monalbum.fr/Album=BMSTBJYR and this album is growing regularly.

But here are some of them :

1st module : cavern













2nd module : a cave, with upstair to a house of someone who like good wine (french one of course !! )















3rd module : a turning sewer (WIP)














Ok, that's all for today. Next step paint of this third module and the fourth is already on paper...

Comments and criticisms welcome as usual and as expected

Jacques

whow! nice! Really like the looks of thes!

especially the colors you have used for the earthwork, and the rugged shapes of the walls look excellent!
Do you have the city to be used above these plates? or are you focussed underground?

Looking good! The 3rd module is looking especially promising. Do you have plans to add any water effect to the sewers?

Jacques - c'est magnifique! Great looking underground ... love to see more of it! And also welcome to the forum!

Lovely scenery so far. I really like the sewers, correct me if I'm wrong but are the cobblestones for the sewers from Hirst Arts?

Keep it up!

Heya and welcome.

Some very nice scenery you have here, I love the whole underground theme. Those are absolutely from Hirst Arts moulds, I have them my self

Great pieces, love your work! Keep them comming!

VERY COOL STUFF! There's something about Fantasy Adventures & The Underground that just naturally go together. All the modules are WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!

Awesome stuff! I like the combination of caverns and sewers and your paint job is excellent too. I very much look forward to more.

This is very nice, I like that you use similar design as we do. Imagen if we would combine our peices

Very very well done terrain peices, most escellent detailing aswell. Keep up the good job.

Kindest regards,
Gabe

neat.

First of all, thank you very much for your kind replies. Always a pleasure

@ Pfreck. Yes, these are Hirst Arts pieces (fieldstone molds). They are fantastic.

A few (very few) more...











And with the first try of water...






Now, miss details, moss, bones and the docks... they are under construction !

See you soon (I hope). C&C welcome of course.

WOW! Excellent work. I really like the changes in level within the tiles, the stairs and uneven ground. Looking forward to more.

Is that some sort of acrylic plastic for the water? Great idea. Definitely durable! Will you allow models to talk across it?

Hello Narcissus, not across, but on walkway (my docks) I'm working on.

Yes it's organic glass (0,8 mm) very easy to cut with a knife and you can glue some half barrels or bodies under and the other half on top with cyanoacrylate. It misses some moss on the borders of the sewer. I'm doing some test before...

Bye.

New photos as soon as possible.

Nice! Very clever thinking with the water, though it does seem a bit clean

I love the way you paint the walls and floors of the natural caverns, looks very realistic.

Jacques - what is this 'organic glass'? Can it be coloured?

I'm really impressed with the terrain - awesome! When you put in the weed, scum etc on the water make sure you use hide the edges of the glass - can't wait to see it totally finished.

@The_Ferret : I don't know exactly, may be acrylic.. there are some photos :




I have tried to colorize, but without great success till now. You have to darken the ground under the water to give some effects.
and yes I'll put things to hide the edges. Next time, I'll do like this :


@HarryMason : Yes I know it's too clean, but after many tries, I put some white glue, then when dry, some gloss varnish, wait 2 days and here are the results (difficult to see on the photos).

On the left, you have the organic glass with nothing
On the bottom, you have a fine layer of white glue (paper-wood glue)
On the right, on top with the dry glue and then with one layer of gloss varnish (I'll try with an other one...)

Jacques

That organic glass looks to me (in the UK) as clear plasticard. Many art and hobby shops sell plasticard although the clear varient is somewhat rarer.

Yes, clever indeed, your thing with the plastic card, water, like it. And your sewer turned out really nice, congrats!

VERY WELL DONE! I especially like your choice of colors.

I'd cheat on my terrain with yours.

Looks good pretty kool!!! R u plannin on extend it futher?/

At last ! Third module finished... Life not always so tender....





































Yes I want to make 16 modules (more if possible...) but 16 mandatory to go under our Mordheim city (1,20 x 1,20 m)
The fourth module is under way... See you next time.
C&C welcome as usual ;o)

Jacques

Hot. That's awesome! The only thing I'd really chance is the yellow stones. Hit them with a wash of Devlan Mud or something, that would really enhance them in my opinion. These modules really inspire me and makes me want to make my own BTW, great job on all of them. I especially like the water, how do you make it?
