Climbing that mountain of lead

It's only been a week since my last painting blog - something's gone wrong with the world!

I have more scenery to blog about, this time some scenery from Crooked Dice.

Below are some pillars they produce that come in 3 sets of 2 pieces each. They're pretty standard looking and thus, were painted as pretty standard stone which led to a quick turnaround.
Crooked Dice also produce a 'monolith set' which have a weird fantasy theme and can double as unsettling looking pillars.
There's obviously more detail here which consequently took longer to complete but I'm happy with the outcome and look forward to making players feel apprehensive when they encounter them.

Finally, here are a pair of 'dungeon arches', also from Crooked dice.

They're pretty standard arches, fairly nondescript and could be used as arches for almost anything.
They're also a standard stone colour which were quick and easy to paint.
They felt a little wobbly when being handled so I based them to improve stability. I'm not sure it was the right decision since it'll now make them harder to store.

I do also have one small criticism though -  which is the gap between the 2 pillars on the arch is not quite 50mm or just wider. Yes, it's a minor grumble but not being able to slide a 50mm based figure through one of the arches niggles me a little bit.

Just a few millimetres wider and the crocodile could have passed through the arch! Why the crocodile want to pass through the arch is anyone's guess!
That's it for now.
​Hopefully I'll be back with painted stuff to blog about soon.
