"Vertical Shafts For Morlocks (And Other Post Apocalyptic)?" Topic

I cannot believe it but, once again, it looks like the RPG and D&D people may have found a solution to a question I've had for quite some time …

How would one go about making the vertical shafts for climbing down to (or out of) the underground facilities?

That guy makes everything look so easy.

And if you want Morlocks Recreational Conflict has then as Corelocks under Lucid Eye:

Hmm. Well, the cheap obvious thing is to set the adventure on the surface. Find some cheap flat disks, paint them black in the center and heap dirt around the outer edge. Now you have the top of the shaft the Morlocks climb out of.

If you really want to go down after the Morlocks, I'd grab some slabs of cheap styrofoam, build rectangles with passages from one to another--or maybe just with holes knocked in walls--and paint with textured gray latex paint. Remember Morlock layers started as basements and underground factories, with maybe a touch of subway. In this case, you only need the bottom of the shaft, and I'd make it rectangular for ease of construction. (Yes, of course I'm cheating. And your point is?)

Robert: "Yes, of course I'm cheating. And your point is?"

LOL. Well, I have been looking for easy options after all.

I can't believe I wrote Morlock "layers." Paint layers. Morlock LAIRS. The whole evening's been like this.

Anyway, if you imagine Morlock World as a bunch of squares and rectangles, it becomes a lot easier to just move the pieces around to simulate a different place below. They tell me Kaliningrad is like that, and a couple of places in the Med.

I was hoping it was a typo, though I would have no problem with leaving the Morlocks stacked in layers. :)

That's what happens after the shooting starts, BWWAAHAHAHA

Or they could have been Morlock "LIARS", simply on the floor "playing possum". :)

PS. These 15mm "Picts" by Copplestone are some of the guys I plan to use as Morlocks:

You could make something like this;

Wow, the first picture in your first link is incredible!

Thanks for that.

I would love to see 4 of those beauties fitting with each other, side by side, as exchangeable modular "towers".

Dan
PS. I'm sure the Morlocks had nice accommodations below ground once, a very long time in the past. So there would still be some remnants of that here and there.

That Sir! Is a Great Idea!

A bit of thread necromancy:

As beautiful as the build is, from War Monkey's link, building that is easier than finding suitable Eloi figures in 28mm.
