Well, it's 2.25 days later, and what a glorious mess this makes. My wrist hurts! Yes! I've got stacks of floor tiles by the keyboard, topped by a few completed wall, fireplace and column pieces. A plastic shoebox is filled with all of the furniture minus some tables and chairs and a bonebridge. The drawer to my right has the remaining 8 pages, 2 cut into, and on top of that, there are several unscored walls being worked on while I wait to buy a new edging marker tomorrow (Thin Expo markers lose their juice too fast).
At this crazy pace, I'll be completely done by Friday evening! It's good to have the time for it.
Some things I've learned about the Darkstone Halls in particular:
- 2 standard-size foamcore sheets are needed for all of the floor pieces!
- I'm leaving chairs till last.
- Linking Columns stick over the edge of the floor tile on all sides! (uh oh...)
- Tables are easily modified to be box-constructed (for supporting figures)
- Colors are beautiful. The Glyph Gate and the Lava Channels practically glow!
- Glue-tabbing during construction is well designed. The order for glue application is easy or has a neat trick to it at the final step.
After all is completed, I'm going to crack open a Heroscape game (that I'll purchase soon), and set up some Dungeon-styled play for my little 3 person group. Weeow!
