(I posted this to a gaming forum, figured I'd copy it here)
My buddies and I started a D&D campaign recently. It's my first time playing D&D, or any game where we've made significant use of miniatures, so it was an interesting one. The problem, however, is that we put our miniatures on a plain grid, and use whatever's laying around to make rooms. "Ok, these pencils are the walls, and this paint jug is the door". That's no good!
So this weekend, I decided to do a quick dungeon project. Well, quicker than other stuff I've built, anyways. Tedious, of nothing else.. I watched almost the whole first season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent while making these. 14 episodes =~ 12 hours.
Anyway, I took pictures of the finished works. The walls and floor are foam insulation, and the doors are textured plasticard on small MDF bases. I didn't have the foresight to do WiP shots while I was building it, sadly, so all you get is the finished product. Here are what I built:
4 x 6" walls
4 x 5" walls
4 x 4" walls
4 x 3" walls
5 doors
2' x 2' base
I set up a quick pair of rooms using most of the walls/doors. Here it is:

Interesting. For my D&D campaign, we just covered the game mat with plastic and used markers.

Heh, we used to do that. At this point, though, I'm more into painting than playing, so it makes sense to work on this kind of stuff. :)

That's way awesome. Nice work. We just used mats. :P

that looks like it took forever, congrats on your patience

Painting all of that would have taken forever, and it looks really good. :)
