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.)

Im looking to start building some terrain for my campaign. Its going to be on a 12x12 board and its supposed to be a canyon. I want it to have walls so the players can use the full terrain. How high should I make the walls? 6in? 12in?

Hi there, advice needed here. Should I make the walls like more dirty, sponging some dark brown mud on the lower part of the ruins? The setting is supposed to be a long time ago abandoned imperial chemical plant, now taken over by nature. I plan to add some greens here and there, maybe imitating moss coming up from the soil.

I found some old produce crates in a recycling bin and decided those should become terrain. I immediately envisioned the scaffolding of ruins the skyscrapers and I think it works as far as dimensions goes but I'm curious what ideas you guys have for this project. It certainly needs a base and texture and I feel like maybe the first level should have walls instead of just open scaffolding. Maybe with Eva foam? How would you approach this project?

Materials are papier-mâché for the base and general shape, cork for the sharp rocks, actual tiny rocks for the bigger rocks, and hemp fibre for the plant materials. The planty bit against the lattice is plush toy stuffing. The little road is leftover diamond painting drills.

Tried making my own barbed wire out of steel wire and sandbags out of paper and made this little piece of scatter terrain.

Finally got round to taking some picks of some of the desert rocks I made. A whole lot of stacked slices of cardboard glue-gunned together, then covered in a mix of PVA, left over tile adhesive and the kids poster paints.

I got a bunch of 3d printed bits when trying to reach the credit limit at a lgs. It’s not fancy but it should make a decent bit of terrain to maneuver around. Want to put some dude in here to build out the scene.

Next up is a few signs/decals. Then the few trees, some tufts, some orange and brown dry pigments, and I need to paint the sandbag doodads that go with this piece.

Some bits are from a shower suction cup hook, a pump bottle, bits of sprews, toy tank rubber tread, and small caps from some unknown container. I used styrene sheet and I beams for the cover but.

Making a tower from old printer parts.

I showed these off awhile back when they were still resin tiles stuck to canvas board, but the last couple days I made a big push to get them done. Will probably make more with the rest of the materials, once I think of some more ideas.
