More Usefull Terrain

So, I had about 1/2 an hour to kill so me and my boy whipped up some better terrain:

Useless Terrain

Did a couple test pieces of terrain for my urban table I'm planning.  In my mind they're a bit of fail as they have no purpose, but they only took about 15 minutes of work time to complete.

The Fleet Assembles!

I got tired of spanking people with the Americans (FSA really IS overpowered), so I decided to switch to the Empire of the Blazing Sun. Ichiban! TORA TORA TORA!!!

Making Tables

Here is a quick tutorial on how I made my 4th (I believe) table.  Still lots of room for improvement, but hopefully this will inspire everybody to stop playing on bare plywood.

Terrain for Adepticon, Part 3

Here's some pictures of the buildings and fountain, after some progression. Some of the buildings still need a bit of work, but they are all really close to finished.

Terrain for Adepticon, Part 2

I've been slowly working on my terrain for Adepticon. I only have 17 days left, so I really need to get moving. Here's the last progress I made. I finished the buildings core structure. We've begun painting but I forgot to take pictures, like usual. I should have more photos and an update late Tuesday night.

Terrain for Adepticon

I'm in the middle of making some terrain for an Unbound board for Adepticon. Here's some progress pictures. I need to make 6 more buildings, 3 more for the town square and 3 for other places on the table. Each building is currently pinned and made out of 3/16" foamcore. Each building is approximately 4"x6".

New Terrain for Longest Night

Spud of Lost Hemisphere fandom made these really awesome paper templates for the Longest Night tents. They can be found at http://losthemisphere.com/blog/?p=16953. I have a local Longest Night event coming up this weekend, so I decided to build one.

Amazing Spartan Buildings/Terrain

I've been drawn in to Dystopian Wars lately more and more due to their outstanding small scale resin figures,  The latest offering, Dystopian Wars Terrain/Buildings, are fantastic as well.

Domination Event Terrain

I'm running a Domination Event this Saturday at Hobbytown USA in New Berlin, Wisconsin. For that, we needed to make two 6" x 15" mountains and 6 50mm diameter boulders per table. I've limited the event to 6 tables because I don't have enough insulation foam to make more mountains or boulders (plus my hands hurt from cutting it all).

Here's some WIP pictures of the mountains, being painted by my FLGS owner because he likes to work on terrain.

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 6 - Command Trench Finished

Jeff at Hobbytown USA helped me finish my trench after I finished building it. Here it is in all its glory. I can't wait to play games on it tomorrow at the Wrath event in Chicago. I get to visit my friends in Chicago and get to play my first game ever against Seraphsong! This will be a great time.

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 5

Continuing along with my Command Trench from Part 4, I've added Sculptamold to the sides. It was interesting to work with it for the first time on a terrain project, but I'm going to be using it for anything that needs dirt on it because it does so well with adding depth with no real work. After that, I put more ballast on the sides. I need to clean it up a bit and glue more ballast down, but I think I'm at a good spot at the moment. I have to figure out what I want to do for painting next

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 4

I'm working on new trenches for the Wrath event and the Unbound scenario that requires them. The first one I'm working on is a 5"x8" trench with two open sides. I've also made a 5"x8" trench that was fully surrounded, but I haven't planked that one yet.

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 3

When I left you last time, I had only finished planking 2 of the 19 trenches. I just finished 3 more. Here's the photo of them.

I also finished cutting all the rises in the pink insulation foam for the remained 14 trenches. Now, I just need to plank them all. I'm fairly sure I'll need to hit Michael's again for more 1/16" inch planking because I'm burning through my stockpile.

Terrain Work - Trenches, Part 2

Here are some updated Trench photos.  I've only finished these two pieces, but I wanted to get some test pieces done before really working on the rest.
I'm planning on using Sculptamold to build up the ramps so that a small, medium, and large based model can sit on it without falling off. Also going to use crushed walnut shells to give it the appearance of dirt.
Part 1

Terrain Work - Trenches

I decided I wanted to build some terrain after seeing some trenches on the Privateer Press forums. Trench Thread. So, I broke out my No Quarter issue #29, started planning out the work I'd need to do to get this done.  Spent today at the game store working on them. Here's my progress.
