Before I begin with this weeks Grim's Dungeons of Doom article, I would say that it would have been sooner,rather than now, all down to SD formatting blues, and that I had to try and both find some lost pic files, and recreate a good few to make these next two parts! Many Bothan spies… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Adventures in expanded foam, part 2: Cavern Doorways and Corners
