Scorpion Swamp D+D gridded map
« on: October 24, 2009, 08:01:13 AM »
I present my take on a swamp map...all polystyrene construction (pink styrofoam) and the water is Envirotech light (pour on laquer). Sand, static grass, fine turf and crushed rock are a few other components used in this map. The various dead bodies are hacked up mage knight figures. These pics are all details from the first section of the map i have completed (20"X24")

Overhead View:


A more angled birdseye view:


A close-up of a skeleton on the bottom of the swamp:


Birds-eye close-up of swamp tree and snake. (snake made from brownstuff/kneadatite=2 part modelling epoxy):


Close-up of a decomposing body on the swamps floor beneath the surface:


Small brownstuff snakes!!:


Giant centipede carcass.(and hiding black viper):




Overhead view:


Close-up of fallen warriors armor:


Warriors lost axe:


Armor and pouch:


Lost staff of a wizard:


Sword and Serpent:


Decaying faces!:


A jewel in the middle of the path??: (insert trap here...lol)


Overhead of the croc pit:


A closer view of croc pit:


Close-up of croc nest:

It's very nice! Plenty of little details that add to its overall value. I would have added more foliage though. Fantasy swamps are always overloaded with that stuff.
Everything is better with lizardmen.

Nice!  Looks like you put a lot of work into your D&D game.  How long did it take to make this board?  I do hope you plan to use it more than once.

Pretty much all the maps i made for D+D were pre-made for someone else for trade. This map took just over 100 hours to complete.
