Update Just added photos of a CD terrain piece I made last week: link

Great looking board and terrain.
Thanks for the inspiration. Amalric |

Sorry to hear about the loss of you game space Dan. The cork edge idea is interesting. I have not had an issue with CDs warping, but have had just about every other warping issue possible, so it is just a matter of time. You color scheme is interesting and I really like the added texture of the sand. Next time I figure I will add sand and some ballast to mine in areas to add a little more texture and depth, especially in corners and where levels meet. Looking forward to seeing the large hills finished. Jeff |

I was wondering if those round formations on the CDs were cork or spray foam or whatever. Mystery solved. Stuff looks great, Dan. Move to League City, Texas. Yesterday. |

Lots of great stuff! Only suggestion I have is to help hide the circular edge of terrain pieces mix coarse sand with white glue and cover the edges while on newspaper. Be sure to create an irregular edge, and don't be afraid to cut the CD disks in half to give you more flexibility. |

"I like the color of the hills as is. They add a nice contrast to the color of the table." I think your first idea was the best, paint them. The contrast is too strong. They'd look much more like they blend into the table, and much less like added terrain features, if you blend in the models using colour. |

Dan, I've been using the fine grade 'iron ore' ballast mixed with a bit of slightly larger buff ballast for my Martian sand. I like it because it is nice and rusty red. Just a thought. |

Hmm. After seeing this, I'm very tempted to to keep the cork formations much darker than the surface colors: link If I did that, should the tops and edges match the board surface shades, while keeping the cliff walls dark? Dan |

As a geologist I say keep your rock formations darker. Rocks have yet to weather fully and thus the iron content has yet to oxidize/rust. The edges should match the soil color fairly close as that is the weathered residue/scree of the rock. Now that science class is over; nice board, I like it. |
