Description
Just launched, I have a new Kickstarter campaign (Wilds of WIntertide) focused on an arctic tundra setting - largely influenced by the R.A. Salvatore series "Icewind Dale", which was made into PC games and is a canonical region of the Forgotten Realms.
One of the coolest parts of the books was the "Crystal Shard", a magical element that formed itself into a tower made of crystal! Thanks to the OpenForge patrons, I was able to create my version of the shard! - with some changes of course. The original was impenetrable and sealed on all sides. That was kind of boring, so I made a balcony and exterior stairway. Perhaps the doorways have a magical seal to keep the elements at bay? The bottom is ringed with snow and smaller crystals, with a magically sealed/runed front door.
Please note that this is NOT a small print. There's 4 levels and a topper. Each floor is included as a full-height floor (most floors are about 50mm high, with the first floor being taller) -or- split floors where yoou can open the shard to have half-height walls on the level you want to play/show (which also makes for smaller prints).
Due to the geometric design/shape of the elements of crystal, you should be able to get away with a larger layer height and still have it look decent - larger layer lines will show more on the top, but since the edges are flat a quick hit with sand paper can smooth em out easily!
