Side Quest

Not pictured: lots of boring corridors now floor tiled, filler'd and sanded, ready for sealant + base coats. Too dull.

Pictured: well, it started out as a maybe magical circle, maybe shrine, then a slight pivot into a circular room because I wanted to have some of them a bit not-a-box, then - because I have a palantir, a magic portal, a little golden statue trap (yes, precisely like the one in Raiders) all needing to find a home - it's become a general purpose entrance/exit and side-quest room. The beauty of neodymium.

I do have something of a special plan for the wall after it's painted, inspired by a recent viewing of Conan the Destroyer.

Also finished the gaol now, also via magnets...

Wasn't the plan to have a separate wall, but the grid didn't really align without it and it just sort of feels more dank with it, so happy with the end result.

The gridded floor tiles for these were achieved by scoring with sculpting tools rather than individually cut up. It's a much stronger technique because the grid can be more precise (including making circular shapes readily), the cracking is easier to create and less fragile, and the thing sticks down better as a larger block than many small tiles. Will continue with this going forward.

Also very happy with this ebay score, on the "cheap" - unpainted and unassembled on the inside - but this is for a very future project.
