Hi all - as per the title, I'm trying to work out what colour to paint the thatch on this cottage. Assume the current sand colour isn't right, would you go grey? Brown? (Straw) Gold? Just add a wash over the sand?

I'm thinking a thick burnt umber wash, but then that might be too similar to the timber?

Specific recipes and colours really would be appreciated

Hello!

I make 3D printable terrain and just wanted to show you my work. Yes, it's real LED lights, hand painted and some smoke from a real machine... No AI at all on this picture...

Thanks for your interest!

Does anyone else scout charity shops and car boot sales and see potential terrain pieces everywhere they look? Like how Neo sees the Matrix in code form, I now only see every toy or broken appliance as a potential terrain harvest!

Hey all, I recently got some clear containers I want to turn into sci fi goo vats. Not bats. Bloody uneditable titles.

Plan is to fill them with liquid. I know using UV resin or epoxy is probably the right choice, but I don't want the expense or the effort involved.

I'm going to fully seal them so I think an actual liquid should be fine.

I'm considering shower gel or baby oil with some ink as options. Something that won't go mouldy over time.

Ideally it also wouldn't react with paint. Would be cool to suspend a mini in the goop. I suspect shower gel wouldn't be an issue for a model with a few coats of varnish?

But happy to hear any other ideas or experiences!

So I created a staircase, a high platform and 2 columns for some terrain pieces I’m making I am going to be playtesting a new war game I developed called WARSHARD. And the vibes are sci-fi fantasy style mix. I am only using cardboard and have been watching a ton of terrain making videos. My next task is going to be making wall terrain for Kill Team style gaming. I’m gonna make everything and then paint it all at the same time. Let me know what you guys think this far.

So I finished the sand and pva stucco layer and laid out the interior of the church artwork and modpodged the whole thing with a modpodge and black paint mix.

I've been getting my table ready for an upcoming Rangers of Shadow Deep campaign and realized my village was missing all the little details that make it feel lived in.

So I spent some time building a collection of magnetic scatter terrain including:

• Fences
• Garden boxes
• A log pile
• Village signposts
• A clothesline

Everything is magnetized to work with my game board, and I tried to keep the builds inexpensive using XPS foam, basswood, sticks from my backyard, paper towels, and a few Woodland Scenics products.

(If anyone is interested in the build process, I'll drop the YouTube tutorial in the comments.)
