More great stuff! 

[juergen c. olk]

That is Brilliant!

Excellent work. I specially love the stairs.

[MalcyBogaten]

Thanks guys!

Hope you're all digging through the potential rubbish for bits!

My Jenga stairs and steps seem very popular! You can also use the blocks for walling and ruins. But I think you may have noticed that already!?

I've already painted all those bits in the previous photos as they take no time really.

Just gotta PVA and scatter the modules. Then another piccy session! Soon be able to cover the table.

Thanks again.

Here's something I started today.

Battleships trays from a cheap version of the game. I've had these hanging around for a while and thought they'd make a good base for a building or ruin as it turns out!

So far I've used 3 different sizes of jenga block, wooden puzzle pieces, double sided sticky bits and some sliced up address labels to build these with.
Thought I'd let you have a look at the mess I've made so far!
I will be adding smaller bits later and rubble as the mood takes me. Either before painting or after as is appropriate to the rubble!







I've still got to see what bits in my spares boxes will be good for this build? But I'll post as I get inspiration or just plain finish it!

[Alxbates]

Kudos to you for using such relatively simple materials, and turning them into such excellent-looking terrain pieces!  Well done!  I look forward to more updates!

[MalcyBogaten]

It's just struck me!

Share your own ideas here! Please! Please! Please!

A bit of show and tell to inspire me would be great guys. I'd really appreciate it!

Very impressive. Some great mini tutorials along the way as well. That is a table I would be honoured to play games on. Thanks for sharing!!

malcy - don't ever be "finished" - it's really great to look at so please keep up the work.  i do have a process question - do you start with the box and then make stairs or vice versa or it doesn't matter?  i don't have jenga blocks but will look for some the next trip to the dollar store; however i do have some foamish type craft blocks that i have started to stack up because of your inspiration.

Don't worry! I'll always have something on the go! (Depends on what I find cheap and what strikes me as useful for building)

"It doesn't matter!" You hit it on the head with that statement. The jenga blocks, (now four different sizes) were a complete, "I wonder?" Moment. Started it in my "My Secret Base" Future wars section. It just sort of made sense to do it for this project too!

As for the boxes of various comestibles? It's more difficult to get boxes that once opened, "even carefully!" Will then go back together with tape to be strong enough to use. I tend to reinforce with Gaffa/Elephant/Duct-tape. Before covering with the sticky labels and painting. Trial and error is the way! (Be prepared for lots of error! )

My advice is keep an open mind!
Examine every piece of packaging for strength and useful shapes!
Buy cheap!
Do dry run builds first and try to plan the best use of your bits.
Then go for it!

Here's how far I've got with that box ruin. 

Still thinking and weathering and by nowhere near finished!



Still have another tray this size and the main box itself to think about?

[MalcyBogaten]

I haven't even finished the other one yet?

And here's the next one on the list!

Obviously gotta paint and weather and possibly add even more detritus to it?
I don't know? As the mood takes me.

Where will I put it all?
One view.

Another.


Added component plastic stacker blocks! The bright yellow and red bits. Make ideal raised planting areas for 28mm budding gardeners!

Inspiring work! 

[MalcyBogaten]

Inspiring work! 

Thank you!

I am still hoping to get to roll up and create my League of the "Lucky 13!"

Then we will be using this terrain to play Pulp Alley!

Still working on these bits and unfortunately got distracted by a load of friend giving me a completely different game!
Nothing to do with Pulp! SO I won't post it here!

More to come on Jaffa later!

Looking forward to seeing all this!
