Hirst Arts: Platform



I'm still playing around with the Hirst Arts construction elements.  Here is a raised platform, with two sets of stairs on either side.  With so many elements at my disposal, I am trying to find ways of using up all of the excess pieces. 

The platform comes apart in four sections, and each is 3" x 3", which is my favored scale for 10' x 10' dungeon tiles.  Using a scale of 1" = 3'4" allows for walls on the section, while still permitting two miniatures abreast on your typical hallway.

That is just awesome. I love your Hirst Arts posts, and seeing the stuff you've made. I haven't actually pulled the trigger yet, and bought any molds of my own, but the day is coming.

A while back James Mal. wrote that one of the things that is so hard to evoke is a sense of grandeur as it relates to architecture. In fantasy illustrations we often see grand, spiral staircases, platforms and vast, columned rooms. With your Hirst Arts, I can really get a sense of that and I'm sure your players really dig it.

It's even better if you can find a couple of people who will participate with you. That way you can purchase more molds, and more hands make quick work, when it comes to casting.

Hirst Arts has a ton of great design elements, to deal with that very issue.
