Road terrain board

[Evilcartoonist]

I built myself a terrain board for playing either Machinas, Qwik or Red Sand Brown Sky (all by Two Hour Wargames.)
It started off as a sketch board. Sidewalks are blue foam. How I went about the rest of it here:

Not bad at all bud. Very nice.

Needs overgrown brownstone buildings now to really look the part.

Nicely done and atmospheric!

Very cool Carmen!  I take it this is not for your 1:64 collection   How big is the board?

Very nice Carmen. I have to say you blog is one of faves to read. Keep up the great work.

Nope, this one is for my 54mm collection (1/64 cars have been sold off to loving homes). The board is around 20x25 inches. Each movement zone is roughly 3 inches square. The road is 12 inches wide; sidewalks 3 inches wide. The board will fit four of my large Machinas cars. I could probably squeeze in a fifth if players didn't mind the cars overlapping a bit.

I think the unobtrusive grid lines are really well done, you see the terrain before the grid which is very rare.
Superb.

I like it a lot. Your models and decors are fine as well. Great job!

Carmen, just epic work Mate....  True inspirations!

OOOOOH! that looks good, I like the scatter terrain too!  Nice work defining the play squares, without it being too obvious. It is nice looking natural like that. 

The hand hole bugs me a little, could you add a "base plate" of some description to the board and fill the hole with card/smooth with putty? Unless its just a quick board in which case it doesnt matter does it!

That's a pre-cut handle in the original sketch board, and the reason I originally chose this board as the foundation; it makes the board easy to carry as well as hang from a wall. I agree it's ugly, but it's functional.

Cooool stuff !!! Superb and inspiring work on this board. Cars and minis looks very graet to.

There is no problem then is there!  hanging terrain from a wall hanger, a ingenious option Mr Cartoonist.
