I've currently got a kickstarter going for a skirmish adventure game based on the fantasy writings of William Morris, and I plan on running demos of the game at shows this year. To do that I need a terrain table with a suitably ferocious river running through it.
This is built from a 2x2 foot MDF board, some pink insulation foam, PVA, Sand, Plaster of paris and resin for the water.
total build time was about 6 or 7 hours plus drying time.

And finished!

If you're at britcon, salute, or uk games expo this year and fancy some william morris miniature gaming, the table will be there!

Cracking job Nic. That looks really good :-*
-
Great work!
6-7hrs - I’d still be deciding on the shape of the first hill
-
Wow. Fantastic board.
-
Absolutely brilliant - and an incredible (to me at least) rate of working. I could aspire to one day do something looking half as good, if only I could be sure of living that long.
I hope that I will see it in reality.
-
Fantastic! Brilliant work!
-
I love that. Well done indeed.

Lovely demo board. :o
-
Cheers all! The board is currently propped up on my desk at work while I work on the bridge. I'm also tempted to add some removable trees (very thin pins in the base of the trunk) since morris' writings feature lots of woods.
-
Look forward to seeing it with bridge and trees👍

Very nicely done, and like the half sunken boat.
Perhaps give thought to putting trees on matching bases to avoid sticking holes in the board? Or not. Just a thought.

Tis a grand board.
You missed a trick and didn't post a link to your campaign, here ya go for anyone interested...

Yep, that’s how I do it on my various styrofoam boards. Simple, effective, and they don’t fall over or move around. The pinholes left behind are so minuscule as to be near invisible unless you’re looking for them, especially amongst static grass, but can always be covered by the addition of a tiny tuft.

I have a pathological aversion to self promotion - even making Instagram posts on my business account feels wrong. lol but thankyou for backing! :)

That looks absolutely ace. And that speed! :o
Great work!

QFT... ::) :D

That is a glorious little demo board, love the look of the whole thing. Might need to go check your KS tomorrow morning...
-
Amazing work on that board. The hillside and river are incredible.
-
Fantastic looking board. Very well done.
-
I'm going to add this here since I don't want to clog the board up with...well, boards.
I started this today - It's a little demo board for Super tiny skirmish, made quick to be ready for salute in two weeks time.
Again it's another foam and plaster job. The pictures make it look far more grey that it is in real life - It's actually a very spooky green. the resin pieces are my own screaming head totems - a couple of miscasts from the pile.

More updates tomorrow - assuming the students don't demand too much of me. I'll add some roots and bones, maybe some miscast skeleton bits if I have any.
-
That looks terrific - awash with atmosphere!
-
That is some highly realistic water and great rock faces. The new skirmish board is equally well made. Simple, yet evocative.
-
Great work!

Me too. :(
This is a brilliant build for a demo game, great stuff.
-
I got the super tiny demo board finished last week, then during a test run of the salute demo scenario my brother in law managed the smash one of the rocks with a ruler - so a protective screen around the peaks was in order. Here's the finished demo table ready for salute.

Looks great. It is indeed a super tiny skirmish board. Great stuff to introduce newbies to wargaming.
-
That's a fun little demo board, the green/grey colour scheme comes through nicely in the new photos and does indeed look creepy and eldritch.
I like the engraved plexi backboard, too, with the branding - and how it protects those neat rock spires in the back corners.
-
That is a very nice tidy demo board. Very cool.
-
The super tiny demo table got a proper outing at salute - with the help of my brother in law you were able to run through quite a few demo games. I was too busy on the stand to know whether the brave heroes managed to stop the cult of the red death from restoring the giant Gogmagog to full power, but there seemed to be lots of super tiny skirmishing going on.

The sundering flood board will get its first outing at Britcon this summer (Which is by a stroke of phenomenal cosmic luck being hosted at the DMU venue. I teach at DMU and the board is currently stashed in my office, so getting it to the venue is as easy as nipping across the road on my lunch break!) and hopefully it will be equally as fun.
-
What a great looking board, the black perspex really helps frame it.
Glad it went well at Salute

Astonishing! :o
