Title: Happy Birthday :-)
Post by: O Dinas Powys on 21 December 2013, 06:24:55 PM
Found these boxes whilst tidying up. It seems like my dungeon is three years old today  :D

3 years?!  They're currently unavailable from us, so you could probably sell them on eBay for a profit!

:D

Get them opened up and filled with fungus...  ;)

Oh yes, although the doors aren't finished and I'm thinking of modifying the colour-scheme  :-\

Bit like my house really!  :'(

Just looked up the order, it was my first one: placed on the 17th, dispatched on the 21st.  :o

Still can't believe it arrived in time for Christmas!  :-bd

Blue resin ?

Or have they been in the box so long that a strange coloured mould has taken over. ;)

Cheeky blighter!  :P

If you're seeing them blue then I suspect it's probably an effect of the k-glass in the conservatory. They're currently Wickes Slate Grey over a black undercoat.

With full, direct summer sun you can get some very strange effects in photos!

Cheers!

It's imposible to make a correct judgement based on that picture, the lighting is really really off   :(

:P :P :P great job!

They ARE blue.....(in the piccy).....Everybody...Please tell me they look blue to you too.
Unless I've developed a strange form of colour blindness.....AAARGH !! ;) ;D.....It's probably down to looking at all this green stuff. :'( :'( :'( :'(

Yeah, the red cones in you retina have probably atrophied due to lack of use  @-)

It's highly unlikely to be the blue-saturated light in my conservatory causing the effect in the photo  ;)

:D

This old photo probably shows its true colour a bit better:

Absolutely fascinating !

FSN'S 'tweak' in the thread is still very blue.....But if I 'quote' him.....The pic changes to a mid/dark grey....But only in my preview pic.
Merion's pic is definitely a pale grey.

How bizarre.

OK....Let me quote fsn and paste it.

Right.....
They're both grey now....
But seeing as fsn's just modified his post I'm assuming he's changed it.

I'm forgetting this. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think the reality is probably about half-way between the two, but there are too many Santa's little helpers around for me to get it out now for a look!

If anyone's ever in the greater Camberley area feel free to pop in for a look and a cuppa  ;)

Well, you know, I try my best!

Anyway, it's largely academic since I plan on redecorating when I get an evening free. I've seen some simply super dungeons on the web recently. I was thinking pale walls and brown floor?  ;)

Also, so no-one else thinks their eyes are on the blink, the bottom middle room is brown! I tried a coat of rustic oak wood stain, but didn't really like the effect.
