And here's a couple pics of the modular terrain I made for the boys, years ago.
Fairly straightforward - four plywood boards, with hills and cave made out of layered styrofoam, plastered over for the rocky bits. Standard ground cover of sand in thinned wood glue, dry-brushed in natural colours with grass matt and model flocking to finish off. Trees were made from the roots of saplings weeded out of garden. The few figures in the pics should give an idea of size. We also made some boards and buildings for the futuristic WH 40 000, but I don't have any pics of that I'm afraid.
Et voilà again. :)

"Fairly straightforward" ? Thats a gift for undertatement! Looks amazing! Bill
ReplyDeleteAn amazing miniature landscape, and it photographs really well! SFZ
ReplyDeleteLoving your rocky outcrops.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work.
I like that cave system! I imagine you had fun with close combat in there!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a concept model I worked on for the movie "Stealth"
A great set of terrain, and nice to see it laid out. I especially like those cliffs.
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks for the nice comments, everyone! This was fun to make, and satisfying to see my youngsters having fun with it. Sadly computer games have largely taken over since then, but it's still there hoping for a revival. Best -- Paul
ReplyDeleteSorry it's ten years late in posting here Paul. Marvellous all the same!

ReplyDeleteThanks guys. And yes Ed, still there. Sitting patiently in the corner of my room downstairs hoping for another outing. Best -- Paul
