Figure painting for my polar exploration project is well underway and covered by another thread, here:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=95074.0However, I will need some terrain for this project. With the UK now being in a state of lockdown and self isolation, this seems to be an ideal opportunity to attempt to complete something to fill that gap.
As a feature for games, and in order to break up bleak terrain essentially comprising variants of snow, ice and rocks, I have decided to build a polar camp. This will comprise an hut (suitable for an Antarctic winter camp, an Arctic trapper's/miner's hut or as part of a larger camp), together with some appropriate pieces of scatter terrain. Inspired by the current state of the UK, the camp will be called Isolation Point.
My main inspirations are:
Trappers huts at Camp Mansfield in Kongsfjorden on the northwest of Svalbard:
Swedish South Polar Expedition on Snow Hill Island, Weddell Sea, 1902:
Shackleton's hut from the British Nimrod Expedition, 1909:
I still have to work over this period of lockdown, but hopefully I should still be able to get this project done (if I can avoid distractions).
