I
have four different rock moulds from Woodland Scenics that I
have moulded ‘rocks’ in already. I used DAS Modelling Material instead of
plaster as it isn’t as brittle.

Some
of the rocks have been used already but most were stored (read: forgotten) in
a box.

The
first use was when we did our Chain of Command Western Desert games. Here I
used mainly C1231 Surface Rocks and a few pieces from C1232 Boulders. They
blend in well in the desert landscape.

The
moulds C1230 Outcroppings and C1233 Embankments are bigger and higher and just
didn’t lend themselves to the desert. But they do look great as cave walls and
that is where they will be used in the future.
I’ve
used all sorts of ways to represent dungeon walls in our D&D campaign,
everything from sketched walls on paper, to chains to whatnot. Nothing looked even
remotely good, but his does in my opinion.
This
is a good beginning, now I’m going to mould more of these bigger rocks for even
bigger caves. Fun!

Bernard who seem to have a very widespread interest in miniatures, sort of
like me.
