Title: Terrain tile
Post by: generulpoleaxe on 03 January 2012, 12:05:08 AM: Managed to get my first ever terrain tile finished (need my new compressor to arrive before I can finish the trees.)

As you can see my camera can't handle wide shots, or at least I haven't figured out how to take wide shots with it!
Need to get my large light tent out at some stage (and find space to set it up!) as the minis are totaly washed out by the light.

You call it a tile, so does this mean you're planning a modular board with more of these tiles? If so, how do you plan to fit them together, seeing as your hills are on the edges? And what material did you use for the leaf litter on the left?

The second tile will attach to the grass side of the board, adding a board to a hill side wouldn't be that difficult as the hills final shape is made with B=Q filler as per the examples shown on this board (I lurk and I study.)

The leaf litter was old tea leaves (proper ones) crushed up with the twig bits left in as well as mixed herbs and parsley. the dark soil underneath is just woodland scenics fine turf soil.

The road is mig pigment dark mud over the top of woodland scenics fine turf soil.

Thanks guys :D

@Bugsda, No mate, I'm a complete tool hahahahaha
