Redoing my terrain tiles (NEW IMAGE 10/18)
« on: October 07, 2013, 01:20:53 AM »
About 2-3 years ago I built some 1' x 1' boards to use with a Lost Worlds game for Cold Wars. The boards were decent but I never did anything else with them. Last weekend I started cleaning up the storage area and came across these tiles and thought they would be great to use with the new game. So, I pulled one out and started doing some work to it. The boards are a cork layer on top of 2 layers of foam. I then added a PVC sheet layer to the bottom to act as the base. After that, I drilled holes into the cork and foam and inserted some PVC tubing so that I could add and remove trees as needed. This is the first tile, set up with the trees and a couple of bushes and some ruins for a shot. I'm going to create some river tiles as well so that I can have all kinds of fun on them.

Very nice. How did you create the ground?

The ground is 1x1 cork tile. Painted brown and then hit with a "fleck stone" spray paint. A layer of glue and a flock mixture of my own finishes it off.

And continuing the work on the boards. I needed to throw together some quickly for a playtest game. So I pulled out some of the old tiles, hit them with some spray paint and fleckstone. They need a lot more work, but I thought I could at least give a small update. You can click on the small image here to see a slightly larger one.
