Been hacking away and have now run out of usable bark. The hill that can hold a tower that was this:

has been worked up. Base size is 350mm x 250mm. Front:

Side:

Rear:

T’other side:

With the tower on it’s 270mm high.
Need a new tower but here’s some 28mm Foundry to show scale:

With the tower off it’s 150mm high:

Have also made another 5 pieces of varying sizes and heights.
The light is not good so I’ll post better images of all of them when it perks up.

This one is a low rocky ridge 550mm x 310mm. Front:

Rear:

Empress 28s for scale:

The sharp-eyed will see the damn mdf is warping a bit.
C’est la vie. Next time Marine Ply or thicker MDF.
Seems only to happen when the Recticel foam is not covering the majority of the MDF.

More later….

That looks the bees knees as do the rest of the rock seections.

My only comment would be the rectangluar bases on the rock formations makes them look quite regimented. Any reason why you didn't cut them with a more irregular shape?

Thanks.
Yes, I intend to build sections that butt up and are irregular shapes (that stick out into the table).
I may well (if I can get more bark) make some large ones up the way you suggest though....

Excellent stuff- I love the way you managed to get the bespoke aspect of the terrain to appear seamless

Low ‘pass’.
Useful as an objective:

Tremendous

Don't mind the little bald fella - he rounds the corners on his scenery bases for some reason but we don't all have to follow suit

It wasn't meant as a criticism, just a question

Fantastic terrain!

I've tried using bark as well, but the layers have a tendency of peeling/falling off while in construction. Any tips on how to keep the bark in tack as you build?

Cheers Ray
Hot glue gun and work out where you can cut ledges to 'rest' sections on.

Mamalute: crit is welcome, no worries

Flattop hill. 550 x 310mm.

Some (very) old building for a hilltop village. I may well build a new village that fits on the top and/or a crag:

Rocks!

smirnoff · « **Reply #12 on:** July 03, 2014, 12:41:48 PM »

Small position. 190mm x 190mm.

smirnoff · « **Reply #13 on:** July 03, 2014, 01:08:16 PM »

Large Hill.
550mm x 310mm x 160mm.
Thought I’d have a crack at doing pathways.
Probably do them windier next time…

That’s it for now. Might try and do a terrain group shot later.

Please do!

Brill terrain and it would be a pleasure to see it all together.

Darrell.

PS. Question for you on the SDF
