With regards to the isometrics, they are hand drawn.

Dodge. Here are a few WIP pictures of a building under construction.






The bricks are cut from a cork mat or a block of cork for debris. I make a rough set of walls of scrap wood or cardboard, glue the bricks on, paint the whole thing with watered down polyfilla, then paint the colour with acrylic paints.

that's a lot of work with astonishing result

You have some pretty great stuff there. What do you use the isometric game maps for. They are very interesting. By the way, your miniatures and terrain modelling are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

The isometric maps are used to convey the sense of terrain because I don't have the space or facilities to makes true 3d table tops. Instead I draw contour lines, water and roads on an olive green cloth with coloured chalk and place building and other terrain models on this. One day I hope to get a basement or some other place where I can really let loose and make terrain tiles.

Here is an example. This first image corresponds to the following isolmetric illustration;




And here are a few more isometric maps, most in my more usual black and white style;

Gawd, I hate talented people!

Most jealous - love the mapping stuff it just looks great.  Soooooooooooooo wish I could do somegthing like that...

Thank you very much for that, looks straight forward and effective, that cork is a versatile material isn't it.

Very versatile, especially if you can find those cork place mats, the sort you put hot plates on. The ones I use are 3mm thick. It makes cutting bricks very easy.

Wow! There’s a lot of inspiring stuff in this tread...

You are either an architect or a professional modeller or both ?

[NurgleHH]

Brilliant stuff you made, but why only this cloth you put on a table? No real gametable....

[former user]

I remember he said he had no space to store scenery - which I can understand...

[NurgleHH]

We still looking for multi-use-terrainboards. Brilliant figures and terrain-pieces need a brilliant board...

[Troll]

Great stuff!

I'm an illustrator.

I use so many different geographical locations and elevations that I'd need hundreds of terrain boards and I only have a few shelves to store my stuff (my kids take up a lot of room) so I use the isometric maps to illustrate what the location looks like, and we use contour lines.

Lack of storage space is also why I make a lot of models in cardboard, as these can be thrown away/cannibalised once the game is over.

I'm an illustrator.

but apart from the talent, You do have some education in technical drawing?
cause You're very accurate and descriptive
I believe I recognize a certain "architectural" style from my father
anyway, I like Your style very much

do You also do comission work?
guess it's time to transfer Your designs into solid 3D
