Here is my plan for making modular Dungeon Tiles.
I'll be trying out the following new things:
Techniques/Tools
Casting* (Possibly, see below)
Air Brushing (I know, not new, but my continuing journey)
Modular/Interchangeable Terrain (The main theme)
Easily Packed/Stored Terrain
Materials
Plaster* (Possibly, see below)
Resin/Water Effects
Glitter (Yeah, I'll go there
)
These tiles are going to be made with 5mm PVC Foamboard from a reclaimed student project.
Casting / Plaster
We'll have to see, what with my new arrival and the fact, I only get paid for term time (Summer holiday right now) means that buying silicon resin and dental stone is not on the top of my 'approved list' - we'll see how it goes towards the end of the month...time and wotnot.
Start with the 5mm foamboard.

As I'm hoping to use this dungeon in my ESL classes, it needs to be a little bigger than the traditional 1" move square, but also not totally dwarf the minis that I have - standard GW, Reaper sized ones. So I have gone for each move square to be 1.5" - so the squares below are all 3x3".

One of the 3x3's cut out and using a black biro pen, I have drawn in the flagstones and cracks - each flagstone is the 1.5" move square.

A couple more - the texture on them was created by me hitting them with a bit of concrete.

This is the 12 That I cut today.

I'm going to add small walls along the side of some of the tiles - only 1cm or so in height - bricks drawn in of course. I'll be making 'Corner Tiles', 'Wall Tiles', 'Corridor Tiles' and plain 'Field Tiles'
Extra shapes (Circle, Diagonal) and styles (Cavern, Sewer) will come in due course.
Yes, this is a very similar design to Wyloch over on the DMScraft forum.
C&Cs welcome and appreciated.
