Perfect! A little PS work and small trees easily become larger trees

I definitely want them, and the Wayback machine doesn't seem like it archived the PDFs. Are you willing to share?

So, this is where paper weights get weird, because paper weight actually doesn't have anything to do with paper thickness.
Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte, which is the paper I use, is considered 48lb paper, and it's 179gsm. It's actual caliper thickness is 9.8 mils. The Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte is 51lbs, 192 gsm, and something like 10.3 mils.
Meanwhile, 80lb cover stock can have a thickness of 7.6 mils, which means despite a heavier basis weight for the paper, it's actually thinner per sheet than the 48 pound photo paper I use.
See if you can find information on the "caliper" or "mils" of the paper you want to use, and compare that to what's officially supported by the machine. It's a much more useful comparison than the basis weight of the paper, which actually has nothing to do with how thick the paper is.

If you go to the Epson website, you can download the user guide for free, which will list the compatible papers you can use in this machine.

kris, just a thought, but you might suggest people could print off the water texture onto glossy printer paper instead of matt, so it looks "wet" for making up the version 2 tiles in your video. Far from essential, but maybe adds a little extra "reality". Of course, in some sewers you can almost literally walk on the "water" in them... 😳😳😳 I have some sewer tiles that are gonna get a retrofit in my future now ...

You've gone and set this up with "advanced" cut mode, and all the lines are solid. Does it perforate/score the lines? I'd think it'd cut all those lines. I don't know. I only use the "Standard" cut settings, and while all the lines I draw are solid, I set the score lines explicitly to be "Perforate" rather than "Cut". I think perforating a solid line is different than cutting a dashed line, but I may be imagining things. Thanks for the reply and all the suggestions. I’ll be testing it out today to see how it goes. I set it to score the lines based on the color so it changes the blade depth properly for the green ones. I’ve never tried anything with “Perforate” so I may try that to see how it goes. For the cut files I make for my personal use, I always use perforations instead of scoring -- you don't have to worry about whether it's a mountain or valley fold that way.

I don't know what I expected that to be, but plans for an ACTUAL cookie-based gingerbread house were not it. LOL

I don't bother. Like mproteau, I've been at this for probably a decade now, and have only rarely had anything adverse happen to my minis (a dog stole a shrub off a table, etc) and then I just print another one.

I buy the Prismacolor Premier brush tip markers and the Tombow ABT brush tips and use them for edging.

Exactly. That is why I think this would be 'nifty', but not that useful. Unless it is guarding something pinned to a spot. See, I was hoping you would go all in and come up with a system for the tiles to slide around on an articulated path, like those little sliding tile puzzle games ... "Hang on you guys, I just gotta ... slide ... this one over here, then slide that one over there, then flip these three and ... doody. Okay. Wait. Oh, I can move this here, slide that one there, flip these two over, slide this one, and ... okay. So the wizard uses his move, and ..."

"when as the DM, you reach down and flip a tile over revealing the dragon, sorcerer or whatever"
That's great. But what happens if the dragon, sorcerer or whatever needs to move around in the room you placed him in?

Yeah, the orchids. I started with the worm vine, scaled down to 75%. I think I love it. You can see that my printer didn't do a hot job of lining up the front and back images, so there is some unprinted area on the leaves, but it kinda just looks like normal leaf striping, so I'm going to leave it. I also used some strategically placed superglue to hold things together.

Oh, I am about to make a ton of these -- perfect for my October jungle game, probably scaled down a bit.

I also prefer the triangular trees, but for this style, I would mount them on two slotted pieces of black foam core, like I did the giant crystals for my Frostgrave terrain. They are less prone to being bumped around that way, and very sturdy.

imgur.com/a/6Elc7The progress of late has been very ... slow ... but the first two encounter areas are fully finished. I made half-height walls for the hallways (a-la pure stock Dungeons of Olde), and the arcane warded door is a custom piece that combines a full height wall with two half-height walls. I really like this effect, but boy was it a pain in the butt to glue together.

I need to start work on the Maiden for a planned game in October (yes, I'm anticipating it will take me that long to build haha!) but I can't wait to get my hands on this set. I love it.

So far I favor the pink and blue one the best -- it doesn't have to be dirty if it's in use and tended by priests!

Starting on the next encounter area, got some curved walls going.

Mike, I really like that these walls don't depend on a separate tile piece to cap them off. Very clever work!

Aaand... complete! I need to dress it up with some weapon racks, a throne, and some other things, but the replica modular encounter area from the most recent Dwarven Forge Kickstarter is complete! 8 field tiles (no walls) 2 diagonal tiles 3 one-wall plain tiles 2 one-wall tiles with torches 2 one-wall archway tiles 4 corner tiles 1 hallway tile 1 double-width fancy wall 1 double-width single door wall 1 double-width double door wall The vast majority of the wall and floors and all the pillars came from mproteau's newly released Infinite Dungeons set; the big fancy wall is from WWG, and so is the gold bits on the floor. I waffled over the decision to do full heights walls, but now that it's done I think it was the right one, as well as including the posts, which will allow for things like dropping in secret doors, raising or lowering portcullises, wall traps, or other things like that on the fly.
