Some more terrain squares

I had some spare 10cm plywood squares, felt, and cork left from my recent terrain tile project, so I used them up making nine more plain green terrain tiles and a couple of double-height hills, one rounded and one rough.

The hills look like this:

The double-height rounded hill ...
... and the double-height rough hill.

  1. Nice work, I like the roughness of the slopes.
    I made a couple hills yesterday myself with the 3d printer. I painted them up afterwards and now I have a nice bit of scenery for my Simplicity In Hexes kit.

    1. Mr. Pavone,

      Over the years I’ve used cork for quite a few terrain modelling projects because it is light, can be worked quite easily, and produces some nice rough features if broken carefully.

      I’d love to own a 3D printer, and I hope to buy one at some point in the future. I can foresee all sorts of uses for one … but I’d never thought of using one to make terrain.

      All the best,

      Bob

  2. Cork you say, Bob? At first glance it looks very much like a certain U.K. breakfast cereal… 😂🤣

      Perhaps they need a new slogan:

      Short of hills and need a fix?
      Be like Bob, use Weetabix

      All the best,

  3. Bob,
    Good to see you getting along with your Terrain building. I must say I've never attempted Modular Terrain- looking very good. Cheers. KEV.

      Cheers! Thanks very much for your kind words.

      In someways I am a frustrated model railway layout modeller … not the rolling stock aspect but certainly the terrain. My ideal would be to have an indoor version of John Ruddle’s outdoor wargame (See https://wargamingmiscellany.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-about-john-ruddle-and-garden.html).

      All the best,

      Bob
