I was going to buy a set of Dwarven Forge tiles (http://www.dwarvenforge.info/bibliothequeimages/IMG_3944.jpg) off a friend of mine, but he ended up selling them to somebody else. I love 3D terrain, and Dwarven Forge stuff is pretty much the corvette of tabletop accessories. So now I want some more 3D stuff.
I found a link to this website which sells molds you can use to build your own 3D tiles:
http://www.hirstarts.com/
So for $29, you can get a mold of some architecture, pour some plaster in there, glue together the little bricks, and voila, a cool 3D hallway for little miniatures to march around in.
after you pop stuff out of a mold and paint it, it looks like this:

then you build the thing:

then eventually it looks like a (crappily assembled) version of this!

I'm thinking about buying some of this stuff, even though that definitely commits me to a lot of arts-and-crafts time. What do you guys think? Is there other 3D terrain out there that's worth checking out?
that's pretty damned sweet!

Did you say "hallway"?
What's the pliers for? To keep em together while the glue dries?
Hmm, that looks pretty awesome. My DM is cheking some 3D terrain maps as well, i don't remeber where(i could ask him, if you're looking for other places to buy it, though..)
I'll recommend this to him - he's not really the DIY type, but i am big time. I'd love to build some of our main places with it :)
