Terrain: Modern Buildings

Finally got round to creating the basic forms for the rest of the buildings I am going to be making based on the original here pictured at the front.

They are all made from the same cat food card boxes I used for the first, along with more basic bricks from the wooden kiddies set I bought ages ago.

When complete I will have 4 buildings that I can set to various heights so that all the bases are covered, so to speak.

These all come to pieces and when I have a few more roof top sections I will be able to have perhaps 6 buildings in total from what I have made here. 

Next I have to cut all the parts to create the details and then glue them in place. But since I know what I am doing should not take too long.

Finally will come the painting.

Must apologise for not being very active recently but have had a case of sinusitis for last two weeks and really haven't felt much like doing any modeling at all. 

Noses eh?

Reclaimed/Re-purposed Boards

I recently spent a few days considering buying a load of different 2 foot square gaming mats to use for D&D. I got as far as making a list, checked it twice, but it turned out that I had been nasty and not nice enough by far....

Anyway I looked at the list, I looked at my bank account and back to the site I was thinking of purchasing from and after quite sometime I decided that it was not something I needed to do. I hadn't realised how many boards I had already, while others I could re-work and give them a new life.

Cobbles.

This is the old GW static grass mat stuck onto chip board, I did not make this one :-)

Desert sand a new board.

Mars attacks another new board.

Winter soldiers, a re-worked board. I have another 2' by 4' which I need to cut in half and then decide how I will use them.

Deep blue a new board.

D&D dungeon board.

D&D temple board.

Cobbles and grit. I have another 2 boards with a mix of cobbles and waste land and these I will be completing next.

This last set are actually self adhesive floor tiles, so not made by me. Every time I go to B&Q I have a look at the tiles to see if anything catches my eye and is cheap. These two were about 6 pounds for 12 tiles which I consider to be fairly priced.

On one side is what you see above and the other has the grey 1" squares.

Half and half.

After I had made the new boards and laid out what I had and the fact that I still have 6, 2' boards to complete I decided I didn't really need to buy anything, thus saving the world more junk and my pocket the expense.

Industrial Terrain

Have recently been working on some new boards for D&D and realised that they could be used in a variety of games. Mainly I have been making a new 24" square board for D&D with a set of legs to raise it for ease of play. However I came to realise it could be used in many wys.

The legs to raise the boards are just card tubing that had a part for our campervan delivered in recently, at the moment painted black and topped and bottomed with non slip matting. 

Not sure how to paint these yet as they are for several games and could cause problems.

All the other terrain you will have seen before, I was a bit surprised at just how much I have produced over the years.

Not much else to say other than I also recorded a film as I had all this set up, may post a  day or two when its all sorted. 

Also can I say a big thank you to all the people who have looked in on my site over the years, I have just had my 100,000 view, cheers :-)
