They're all really nice, but I think the floating islands are really cool.  That's such a great bit of VSF scenery.

I have to know what you made the Hell Dorado boards with. That is supremely covered in awesome sauce. Please entertain us with a synopsis of construction, so we may revisit it in our own homes.


5mm MDF bases cut to size and covered with bits of broken up 5mm thick cork floor tiles.  The alien egg type things are just the top parts of coke bottles, slightly melted and with stripes of hot glue from a glue gun.  The 'teeth'on them are just the ends of cocktail sticks.   Painted black and then drybrushed.  Red and purple ink added here and there to break up the gray.

The whole lot took less then a day to make.

So, you just break the tile, rather than cut it, I assume? That is still the awesome. I am going steal your idea whole sale, but paint it in my Mars ground colors.

All great work, Rabbitz, but the archaeologist in me loves that Roman villa. Brilliant. I could use about a dozen of those...

All are very excellent! But I swear, I've seen a miniature villa just like that one in a friend's closet back in Alberta. It had a decorated interior as well. I really like your scrap town as well.

All great stuff, I find the scraptown stuff inspirational. I'm looking to make some urban terrain for Urban War, something along the lines of the ruins of Stalingrad crossed with Necromunda, so I've saved these pics!

Indeed. I like that idea, still looking for the rubberized horse hair though!
