Scatter terrain

After the big fortress I still was in a terrain mood.

So here some more scatter terrain. 

Some is old, some is new, but it is all for my WH 40k little guys. 

Some toy soldier stuff, the cannon is decent once painted. 

My pride and joy. Cacti. 

Foam fortress tutorial (sort of)

Long time no see, I was very busy. 

Recently, I found a very promising bit of packaging and I decided to finally make some terrain. 

Here is a step by step gallery of the project. 

First, composition. Not a lot of work here, the packaging was already looking like a hangar, I simply cut half of it with a knife and glue it together with toothpicks and  school glue.

Then 3 coat of glue+water+sand+paint.

Beads and skewers as details and stairs.

These beads to be precise.

Some dressing made with paper and corrugated cardboard. The re numbers and other posters are small scraps from a newspaper.

Drybrush, drybruks, drybrush.

And a brown wash later here we are.

The front door is only dry fit, so I can drive my rhino inside.

And I can use toy guns for firepower.

More dressing, made with toy parts.

And more newspaper scraps for posters.

And next?

I'm working on some toy soldiers stuff to add some obstacles on the table.

 

What do you think? I'm very happy with the result, and it took a little more than an afternoon.

Terrain tutorial: crystals

This one is a no-brainer, you only need to find the right resources.

The small pebbles are from a bag of decorative sand for fish tanks. The bigger ones are for home decor. They are both transparent plastic and for some reason they hate superglue. 

To be honest, superglue can work, but it takes ages. It's better to use hot glue or pva glue. 

In the end you only need to glue together everything, it's like flocking. I drybrushed a little of black and gray to show the crystals are being digged out. 

Urban ruins

Some concrete ruins made of polystyrene. I have plenty of that material and I want to find a way to use it.

 

 

 

 

 

And as a bonus some crates made from wood.
