To make my bookcase a bit more interesting, I used some GW terrain kits, plywood and a mirror to build a 40k-themed bookend/booknook.
It worked out quite well so I put a video out there for inspiration. Now I'm thinking, maybe mirrors can be used to great effect in gaming table terrain as well, maybe create a bottomless pit using a one-way mirror.
This is so cool... I've recently been messing around with simple lighting elements in terrain, and now I want to try this! It wouldn't be much of a step forward to add lighted objects to the scene, like lamps and torches. Also, I wonder if it could go solar and light itself? Awesome project!
That's a clever trick, with the forced perspective and mirror. I had been wanting to play around with shadowboxes for some time, but I never thought to "extend" the space like that. I'll have to remember that... Cleanly framed, as well. All relatively simple techniques put together to become greater than the sum of their parts. Nice work!

As others have said; Really cool project, well done and it's one of those "Oh, that's so easy!" that really isn't. I want there to be just the feet of something at the very edge of what looks "around the corner" then catch people smacking their faces trying to see farther.
Also, groovy music man...
Thanks for sharing this.

In the one LoER contest I entered (The Portal) someone made a chaos gate with a string of LEDs, a mirror, and tinted glass.
