The hidden valley of Heruthep

[NickNascati]

Absolutely stunning!  Makes one either want to try much harder, or just give up.  I suspect that you could easily use the setting for historical games as well.  There has certainly been enough fighting in that part of the world.

This is what wargaming is all about.  Nice figures and superb terrain.  Brilliant.

Like everyone else here, I've fallen in love with your terrain 

The way you've modelled the wadi into the board gives it a wonderfully natural 3D effect. I also agree that the sand shades you used are gorgeous.

If the Prof ever runs a terrain modelling competition, you have to be one of the favourites to win.

Actually, that might be a good idea for a future LAF competition.........

I have been researching Egypt for Pulp too.  The following may also be of interest:http://chestofbooks.com/travel/egypt/John-Stoddard-Lectures/Egypt.html

Thanks for the link! I have quite a few books with old photos/pictures from egypt. But I havn't seen this one before (Ouch: listed at 210$ though...)

How did you create the rock faces on either side of the valley? I love the way they look.

I used woodland scenics' rock moulds: link. Good looking rocks at a reasonable price imho (and minimum work btw).

But what I really really like is the colour of it all.

To be true: the outcome of the colors is rather accident than planning. The sand is a little bit to yellow/orange for my taste. But great that you like it 

Cheers,

I recommend this book - It shows many buildings as ruins and also as reconstructed images.  Ideal for making up those documents that adventurers need to find describing the buildings/temples/hieroglyphs as they were.

I picked a copy up from Amazon for £20, so it can be bought at a realistic price

Actually having been to Egypt the sand colour is about right.
