I'm a big fan of Amera great terrain to customize at a good price.

Nice job on those islands.

Thanks. I might get more Amera stuff. They are cheap and nice on the eyes once painted up.

These might work as hill tops.

As posted on your blog, this is an excellent example of what can be made for gaming terrain, using vacuum-forming techniques. The islands are great, and the paint + flocking, is excellent. I agree, these could easily be used for hills, in a variety of scales. The same paint + flocking techniques would also apply, regardless of scale, for using them as hills, instead of islands.

This post makes me want to build a vacuum-former setup… I had a vacuum-formed castle, many years ago, which was actually quite decent. Never quite finished it, before it disappeared. This makes me want to see if I can find it, and finish it, using your flocking techniques. Cheers!

My pleasure Slag.. How does one build a vacuum setup? Sounds like expensive machinery.

That works. Well done.

There are many sets of instructions on the Internet, but here is a link to the Instructables web site listing their instructional sets. If you search YouTube, you can find videos on the subject, as well. A setup can be made for a small investment. The most difficult thing is to soften the plastic sheet without overheating it. Everything else is fairly simple. I did this stuff in junior high school shop class. Cheers!

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Looking good, I've had my eye on those!

Thanks.
