Years ago, I made a nice set of furniture out of the CSP Dungeon Furniture Set. At the time, I did not have access to cardsheets, so I printed them on paper. I took the time to strategically glue them on cardboard, then I cut groves into the cardboard to make valley-folds. I keep some parts unglued so I can sandwich the tabs between the printout and the cardboard, then I glue them down as soon as I'm finished cutting-out the folds. All this effort makes for strong, sturdy miniature furniture. Paint or markers are used to hide the white edges.
The hardest ones are the pillars, chairs (both have lots of grove cutting and tricky arrangements) and obelisk (the arrangement of the tabs make my job a lot harder). But they are d**n well worth it!
Here are my set (with some WotC sets):
Mind you, not all the white edges got covered by then. The eerie lavender color seen on the obelisk, tombs, and bench was do to low color ink. The green patina was something of a happy accident (someone spilled their drink on a tomb, and the ink ran green). The pillar and well was a second effort that turned better, color wise.
Here is a typical (that is, "house-ruled") game of HeroQuest, at my place:
In this, the monsters turned over the table to block the Hero's magic and range attacks. The coins noted fallen monsters. The Dwarf just killed an Orc by hitting it with a chair. So yeah, this is not a typical game of HeroQuest. ;D
I do not have pictures yet—do to the camera crapping out on me—but I have glued some of the above floor tiles on black foamboard. I have added cracks, and painted glare into the stonework—they look really nice!
If Kristian Richards is reading this, great work with the tile and furniture sets! ///_ I once payed for a paper dungeon set (Dungeon Works, I think?), but your set is much better and nicer looking. Keep-up the good work!
