Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
RotV ruins + some different jungle plants that exactly match Ticalla Jungle + a few other smaller plants for variety + 4-5 different shades of green (dry-brushing, sponging, washing) + clear coat.
I'm thinking about making more sets to sell, and trying to figure out how to price them. Due to the carving of holes through the ruins, several layers of different greens, and multiple clear coats, this takes a surprising number of hours to finish, so I'm thinking something like $20-25 for a set of three ruins (2 large, 1 small). Even then I'm probably working for less than minimum wage. But does that seem reasonable? Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
I'd say it depends on how durable they are. will they last? will the plant stay on?

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
Hey- Those look pretty cool. The ruins have always been something of an eyesore because they are just so "vanilla." This fixes it up right nicely. Now you can finally do the wellspring of Ankgor Wat.
I imagine they're pretty durable. The jungle trees are durable enough and these will have glue. It's hard to price things like this but unfortunately the time invested doesn't translate directly to cashish. You might try fleEbay and see if you get bites. I'd sell them in twos since that's how the Master Set packaged them and how people are used to seeing them. Price them at the smallest amount you'd be willing to take and if it doesn't sell- it doesn't sell. I've kicked myself before for selling things for too little on Ebay. I've also hit a gold mine where some guy was like, I like this but can you do 10 more? Last edited by LilMoochie : five minutes ago. Reason: You think it's mindless drivel now?

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
$20 definitely doesn't sound outrageous. If anything, it'd be a good place to start and see what kind of feedback you get. If they fly off the shelves, a few bucks inflation might not hurt, but if they're a slow mover/not moving at all then you'll know what to do.

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
Looks Awesome!
See if you can make it in less time - maybe don't put so much layers of paint on the ruins. I assume when playing, you use the jungle adjacenty defense bonus on the ruins too.

Thanks for the encouragement.

(1) Foliage climbing a wall isn't nearly as thick as free-standing brush. You couldn't conceptually press yourself into it to dodge or hide in the same way. (2) It isn't as bendy or overlapping. (3) The adjacency rules would get sloppy, trying to figure out exactly which hexes adjacent to the ruin would qualify, not to mention whether the bonus applies on one side or both. So, for simplicity and reality, no bonus in my house. But others can play it however they like. Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
I'd play that using foliage-enhanced ruins makes me irresistible to the ladies.

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
I like them. Not sure what someone would pay for them though, I'm pretty bad at gauging that kind of thing.

Re: Just_a_Bill's Jungle Ruins
Nice! I always am trying to make some decent customs to make SOTM look not as boring, and I lack TJ, so it's a little more difficult for me.
I would be willing to pay $20 for a set of three, seeing ruins aren't that cheap and its custom work. I'm just a poor college student saving up for vacation, Skyrim, and Diablo III, so I doubt I'd actually buy any. |
