Scratch Building Small Terrain Features
« on: February 22, 2014, 10:10:08 PM »
I've thought about how to add some variety to our gaming table and started scratch building some small terrain features:

What do you think?

Cheers,

Although these are 15mm, and so outside my experience/expertise, I think these are fantastic.

Also, you can never have too many small terrain features. :D
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Yes yes, I'm getting to work!  ;)
However, I have to say that I proudly stand by my felt mat - I guess I'm old school at heart  lol

Probably you don't need these at all, since your pieces are already superb, but still some different perspectives are always good. So here's a couple of tutorials (one is quite old) from my site, if you like!
