My Terrain Journal - So Far (first five parts)

[Unlucky General]

Hello gaming comrades,

It's been some time since I posted anything so I thought to share my terrain making journal - at least what I'm up to so far. Anyone interested in mucking about with foam boards and synthetic fur, please find the following link to part five = the first ten completed tiles (the flattish ones). Many more on the way.

Looking good! I have collected a bunch of foam and MDF for making some terrain boards- I should really get started on that.

Lots of cool looking stuff on your blog! I'll be checking it out...

Thanks Cod and Mike.

This is something I've had in mind for more years than I care to admit. I went with boards so I can add depth features like rivers/streams, beaches (maybe) and ditches. The basic array will be near 30 tiles all up - I have a lot of space for storage.

I have to say once I got started, it was easier than I thought it would be and everything just works. I suppose I find that when I think about doing something for long enough, I end up anticipating most of the potential issues. I do have a habit of putting things off and on occasion have been known to procrastinate.

I'm looking forward to generating 'specials' like hill-forts or specific an peculiar terrain features down the track. With about a week or two notice, I can add something for planned games without too much fuss.
