Learn how to build and integrate the Den of Evil Hellscape Waved Wall into your resin terrain collection, with step-by-step assembly and painting tips.

Quick Answer

Use the Den of Evil Hellscape Waved Wall as a corner piece in larger rooms. This guide walks you through cleaning, dry-fitting, gluing, and painting the classic resin piece so it integrates seamlessly with your existing terrain.

Why the Waved Wall Works as a Corner Piece

The Den of Evil Hellscape Waved Wall is designed to function like a corner piece despite its wavy shape. This means it can turn a straight corridor or define a room corner without needing a separate corner tile. Keep this in mind when planning your layout: you can use it to add organic curves to an otherwise rigid dungeon.

One trade-off is that the waved design may not align perfectly with straight-walled pieces. Dry-fitting before gluing is essential to avoid gaps or misalignment.

Classic Resin vs. Newer Materials

This piece is part of the Classic Resin line, which uses a dense, heavy material that holds detail well but requires more prep than Dwarven Forge's Dwarvenite. Classic resin pieces often have mold release residue and may need a gentle wash with warm water and mild soap before painting.

If you are used to Dwarvenite's snap-together assembly, note that classic resin pieces require glue and careful alignment. The absence of bow tie indentations (as noted in the catalog) means you cannot use the older locking system; you will rely on glue and pins for stability.

Step-by-Step Building Guide

Clean the Resin: Wash the waved wall with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft toothbrush to scrub crevices. Rinse thoroughly and let dry completely. Skipping this step can cause paint to peel or glue to fail due to mold release residue.
Dry-Fit Your Layout: Place the waved wall in your intended position alongside other Den of Evil pieces. Check for gaps or rocking. Mark any high spots with a pencil. If the piece rocks, sand the bottom on fine-grit sandpaper until it sits flat. Do not force it.
Glue with Super Glue or Epoxy: Apply a thin layer of cyanoacrylate (super glue) or two-part epoxy to the base edge of the waved wall. Press it onto your base or adjacent piece. Hold for 30 seconds. Avoid using PVA glue—it will not bond classic resin reliably. Work in a well-ventilated area.
Fill Seams (Optional): Mix a small amount of gap-filling super glue or epoxy putty into any visible seams. Smooth with a toothpick before it cures. Let the glue cure fully before sanding or painting, typically 24 hours.
Prime and Paint: Apply a thin coat of spray primer formulated for resin (or brush-on primer). Once dry, paint with acrylics. Dry-brushing works well to bring out the wavy texture. Thin your paints to avoid obscuring the detail. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Seal for Durability: Finish with a matte acrylic sealer spray to protect the paint from handling and storage. Test the sealer on a scrap piece first; some sprays can yellow over time.
