May i report your offer to the italian Heroquest forum?
I'm unsure if some will like to fullfill your request but there's a lot of creative ppl there.

That'd be great, Parduz!
(perhaps if I email you a copy/or send you download codes, then that would make it easier for the ppl on the forum, rather than them emailing me? It's about 4MB)
A general point - the scale is much smaller than standard HQ scenery but adjusting printer settings might be a way around that. (p.s. there may be some HQ sized props coming later in the year to accompany another product)

These are working out very well. I'm building some right now. Just a heads up the bookases are a little narrow at the base and are easy to knock over. I solved this by tossing a spoonful of rice in them before I close the box. It gives them some ballast and makes 'em stand up better.
I'll post some picke when I am done.

Rice!? Genius!  I'll be posting that in my "Support" section on my website. I went out and bought some plasticine today - it's pretty hard to find weights which are the right size. |

Why not some washers glued to the base?

Good, good, I like it! Tiny washers - metal, flat. Excellent.

Pennies are the cheapest way as long as the item isn't too small.
Then go get a box of nuts as they usually sell them by count and not by weight.
The nuts are more compact than washers and weigh a bit more.

The nuts are more compact than washers and weigh a bit more. But have less surface for the glue, and the higher baricenter helps them to detach For the same area, bolts have more weight and more surface for the glue.... but i'm just nitpicking ;D |

I'm more in favor of not gluing for items that can be tipped over. Loose weights will make an item more stable in whichever orientation you place it.
Vehicles or furniture that is tipped over would have a tendency to tip back upright if the ballast was glued to the bottom.

In light of sky rocketing global food prices I recomend dirt (well sand/pebbles, you know)  |

I rather like having loose weights inside (love the bolt idea), but it can be a problem when the scenery gets so small. Yes, times are hard - use dirt! Save money up for future Inked Adventures products. ;D |

These look really cool!
For "ballast" for small papercraft models, I would use dry couscous or rice. It's cheap, and you never cook couscous just right anyway, so you're not missing out.
I've started using lentils as ballast for larger models. I'm never going to cook lentils.

I like couscous ;D I have a ricemaker and tons of rice on hand, so it is easy, but there are a million alternatives. I like loose grains because you can easily rotate the item and it is typically easy to install. Well, I got these items built and put them too use (along with some of the dungeon tiles) in my Barbarians of Lemuria session this week (and photos!) Enjoy… The overall layout of Moorach’s hideout-  Heading into the barracks-  Fighting the thugs-  Moving to the antechamber  Moorach’s Worms!!  Moorach is cornered!  I played around with the construction on a few pieces and you can get table and chairs that are empty on the bottom, and though it took a bit of doing (and two printed copies) you can make a feasting table that looks pretty impressive so that it is not a box, but more like a 2.5D prop.   Thanks for the great product…. |

Nice construction Sammo! That feasting table screams "tavern brawl!" |

I like this layout. It is pleasing to the eyes without being too complex.
Back in the 80's, I used to draw out my tiles and furniture on thick poster board.
They looked just like this.

 ;D OhwowowowowowowWOW WOW!  These pictures are great! I love the customisations on the feasting table (you see what happens when you let proper cardboard modellers get hold of this stuff ;D ) Okay. Sammo gets a life times supply of free downloads (that probably means two more products at this rate EDIT - by which I mean it takes a lifetime to for me to finish stuff, not that Sammo's life has suddenly been shortened, which would be in very poor taste after him taking such fab pictures! ;D ) All hail the Mossman!

Very nice ... are you looking to do more furnishings in the future?

Any chance to have the Sammo mods included in the PDF, so each user can choose his right way?

Post by sammo on Mar 14, 2011 7:40:18 GMT -9
@ Parduz,
All of my mods were done at the workbench during assembly, so there really isn't anything to include with the download.
If I get some extra time I could post a "how to" in assembling the furniture, but that might take me little while to put together.

Most of it is pretty straightforward, but on the bench it seems that you have the legs in the center of the bench, yet it doesn't topple. EDIT: ah, two sets of legs inset from the edge. nice.
I like how everything seems to be levitating about the thickness of clear plexiglass above the floor tiles.

Yup. Sammo seems to have conquered any card curl with that clever glass business as well. Parduz's Hero Quest forum friends have come up with some more pics (I haven't quite organised them yet). I'm posting everything up in my (make-shift) Gallery page on the Inked Adventures site. inkedadventures.com/main/gallery-pikturs/I'm pretty sure that people can tell the difference between my stuff and other elements in the photos, like Hero Quest boards. ;D I'm resisting the urge to write lots of disclaimers about which companies own what - especially if they are genuine gamer/fan/community photos. |

I could have sworn someone (verminking?) posted a query about further 3D furniture, but I've been focussing a bit on PMs and didn't get around to answering - apologies.
I think I'll definitely be making more furniture - barrels, boxes and thrones are on the list. It's more a case of getting other projects out of the way first. (There's a coffin, tomb and 2.5D statue in my forthcoming 'Tombs pack)
I had a request for some tents recently. Pillars are also a must.
Any thoughts on in-room 3D dungeon essentials? We've got chairs, tables, shelves, one type of chest and a single bed so far.

i'd need to build a whole new dictionary... i'll try with wordreference, hoping to catch the right words: weapon racks, altairs, lecterns, chandeliers, kneading trough, cupboard, ovens (the ones to make bread and pizza), dressers with mirrors, poster beds, fur carpets (bears, lions, monsters... with a sort of 2.5D head), sofa, chess tables... i can go over and over |
