Geek Gaming: Custom Boards

These are some shots from about a year and a half  ago that I thought I had lost. Project shots for Geek Gaming created for a third party.

These were taken prior to the resin pour that finished the work.

Work in progress shots.

Wayne and Luke using washes to create the rock textures.

Wayne having spent time completing the the rock formations, looks on proudly, a smashing piece of work.

The basic construction work which is where I was more involved on this project.

New Hill, new Method

This is a prototype for a set of hills I will be making soon. They will be constructed from insulation foam. Yes, I was given some so no purchase here.

This one is a bit square, my excuse is that I was experimenting to find out just how it would work and had thought I might place 2 close together to create a larger hill. I'll probably not bother with that.

So the next will be a bit more sculpted and smoothed. I do intend making some without any rocky outcrops too.

Also, very importantly, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't making a hill so steep that models would slip off or down. As it happens I'm happy with the test.

This angle is the only slightly dodgy one, and I know where I went wrong, so shouldn't happen on any of the other hills.

Small Scatter Pieces

These are a mixture of pieces, the mat and the tree in the background are fairly new and so are the 2 bamboo grove pieces, all the smaller terrain"Blobs" were made a while ago, perhaps 2 or 3 years ago. However I recently added a load of tufts to them that I had spare after making a load for Luke's APS. 

The mat is an experiment, made from a sleeping mat bought cheaply from Asda, I think, it has a texture which isn't great but it works OK.

Not keen on these huge round stone/rocks, really OK in rivers but not on these.

The added tufts made a huge different to these "Blobs" so I was pleased how they came out.

The bamboo grove was a bit of fun to be honest, I used real bamboo, skewers and sticks meant for the garden, then more tufts added to suggest the leaves.

More trees coming up soon when my sinusitis has finally gone, can't work with a dripping nose and a thumping headache.
