With my Frostgrave maze walls complete<\/a>, I was still missing a major component to the library, namely, books. It might be disastrous to start this off in meme but here we go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, the meme likely ruins the shot. I’ll post it again sans <\/em>meme and maybe you’ll have forgotten all about it. In the meantime, I needed books and the cases they reside in. And I needed a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is 36 book cases from the 3D printer. They were quick to print so we did a batch. Painting them was really easy- just prime with the cheapest black spray paint available ($1 per can at Lowe’s), then dry-brush the hell out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First dry-brush with a dark brown, then come in with just a little cream or skintone to highlight. Here I went a little more with some additional colors but the effort wasn’t worth it versus the time it was taking. I knocked this batch out in about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a quick test, I realized 36 cases wasn’t going to cut it. So I asked Reese if he was up to the challenge and he confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yep. He was up for it, alright. A few days later, I picked up batch 2 with sixty of the cases this time. I was a little concerned about how long this would take but it actually went easier than the first time. I primed them again, finishing off the can of spray paint, the dry-brushed them all again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All told, we have almost 100 bookcases for the epic Library Labyrinth. That is over twelve linear feet of bookcases. In my photo of the day, I ended up lining two rows, six feet long to make the great long hallway for my Wizard and Treasure Hunter. That’s a lot of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
