"All kinds of terrain." Topic

Hello again All,

I thought I'd share pics of some of my terrain .I enjoy building terrain so I have made quite a collection along the years.

I think that using natural items is one of the most rewarding when building terrain. Anyway enjoy & if you have questions do not hesitate to ask.

I normally do terrain that can be used in various scales.

May you be inspired.

Impressive, and nice work. But where do you store it all?

I take it the ruins are the famous Lost City of Z?

What do you use for the hex pattern? I'm curious on how to get that effect

Wow! Really nice.

But where do you store it all?

Troublemaker.

Yikes looks great…..

I like the cacti and those corrugated buildings the best but they are all good.

Dammit!

Really really good stuff!

Great looking Sci-Fi look to it all. Well done.

Thanks all for the kind words. Glad you like them.

Where do I store it ? In every nook & cranny :):):). Believe me it is a continuous battle to find space,as most probably every gamer can state.

The hex pattern was done by using a garden mat as a mask for spraying ( thick black rubber 2 ft by 1 ft mat like those used for removing mud from shoes ) This mat has an open hex pattern (which made me buy obviously) & the ones on the top are wider then those on the bottom.

Keep commenting
Thanks again

Pencil shavings? Brilliant!

Thanks Gnubrid,
Glad you think so.
Note that when I said coloured pencil shavings I meant just the coloured core NOT the outer shell. In Fact I used Plastic crayons made by " JOVI " because of their bright pigment.
Red, Orange & Yellow mostly + little bits of brown & black were chopped up roughly with a scalpel & mixed with resin. This mix was spooned / dribbled in / over the lava cones.(If you don't have access to resin you can use Araldite 2 part epoxy or similar – slow setting not 5 min to give you time to work).

Hope you found it useful .

I did, I did

Hello again all,
Here is the continuation of the shanty town /frontier village.

The roofs have been made from pizza boxes ( clean off course ) stuck to thick card. I prefer flat roofs to slanted so that minis can be place on them. All graffiti are hand painted & very rewarding to do ( on your models not buses :):):) ).

The board is a very nice free downloadable Mercs one.

Seriously, this is the most inspiring sci fi terrain I've seen. Creative ideas and fantastic execution. Love it – off to eat some pizza to try to do some of the shanty towns ;)

Thanks for the very nice comments Alan.

More will follow for sure.

Pizza boxes, laser jet cartridge etc packing carton , exp poly & plastic sprue are all great for building projects.

If you need help, advice etc mail me on zrunelord at gmail dot com.

Fantastic use of low cost/no cost materials. Very inspiring.

Thank you Maxim,

Glad you like it.
Eco is the way to go for sure, good for the planet & the pocket.Believe me there's a lot of satisfaction to be gained from using stuff that has been marked for the rubbish bin & recycling it.
If it comes nice then all the better. All should try it.

I have added the fake Chinese alphabet I used ,for those who want to write faux Chinese billboards without the risk of writing silly ( to say the least ) things.

To continue on what I was saying before.
Look at these very great ideas.Have to make them someday.

Great projects from simple things.
I take off my hat to the ones who did them.

Enjoy
