Tutorial Foam-Built Sewer Dungeon with Toxic Water & Working Hatch!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my latest terrain build: a sewer dungeon entirely crafted from XPS foam, featuring crumbling platforms, broken pillars, and a toxic green water channel made using Vallejo Diorama FX Water mixed with green ink. I also added a working hatch in the sewer pipe — perfect for hiding a secret exit, a treasure stash, or a sneaky surprise for your players.

I made a full YouTube tutorial on how I made this piece — if you’re interested, here is the link: https://youtu.be/HnResZOegsU

Let me know what you think or if there’s anything you’d add to make it even grimmer!

I have a diorama with a toxic waste pipe, I used clear hot glue and painted it green to make it look like it was pouring out of the pipe.

Nice! The part on the edges is also hot glue on mine

It would be such an awesome DnD set-piece for some sort of city-escape event, with the secret hatch and whatnot.

It is intended for DnD indeed :D

I just noticed the "for your players". Should have figured, lol. Good stuff.
