jeremy1391 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hey everyone! So I got bored a few nights ago and started scratch building some terrain for my home made game board that I’m starting to work on. These 3 pieces are kind of my “proof of concept” into making terrain on the cheap! All the terrain is made of wall spackle, foam board from Walmart, can of tan and brown spray paint, hobby sand and pebbles, and hot glue. Please let me know where you think I can improve!

Kierdale Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looks looks excellent. If you really wanted to add something then perhaps some extremely old, worn, torn posters on the building perhaps? One suggestion for easy terrain that would go well in a desert setting: A stack of pipes. From a dollar store you can probably get some kind of pipe (heck, a plunger or broom with a plastic pole will do), cut it into about 6” lengths, glue three together (two on the bottom, one on the top), thin paper strips as belts holding them together. Quick and easy to paint, too. jeremy1391 and Slave to Darkness 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368874-scratch-built-desert-terrain/#findComment-5663643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woodsman Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very cool looking terrain. It might be the picture quality, but you could drybrush the rocks a slightly lighter color, it could make them pop out a bit more, and look more weather-beaten and sun-baked. I wouldn't change anything major though, your concept is defs proven! jeremy1391 and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368874-scratch-built-desert-terrain/#findComment-5663663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Nice work! Maybe some shrubs, old worn rusty weapons, rubble etc. Maybe have it look like battle has been taken place there.

Xenith Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looks great! My only comment would maybe be the scale - those rock formations in real life would be quite large - they look a little odd next to the house! Otherwise they look pretty realistic. jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368874-scratch-built-desert-terrain/#findComment-5663723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Nice work! Maybe some shrubs, old worn rusty weapons, rubble etc. Maybe have it look like battle has been taken place there. I plan on adding some shrubs and going to make som piles of pipes out of straws, and I’m sure in my bits box I can find some old weapons and other stuff I could add on to give the terrain some more character.

Slave to Darkness Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If you can find them online there was some good articles in ooollllllld white dwarf magazines for making Gorkamorka terrain. If you cant find anything lemme know and Ill see if I have the PDF's somewhere. jeremy1391 and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368874-scratch-built-desert-terrain/#findComment-5663972 Share on other sites More sharing options...

battle captain corpus Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Such a great use of basic components to make awesome scenery! Maybe think of adding some washes in the recesses and all base of the building?

Kierdale Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Here is an example of the pipes I mentioned earlier. I made this quickly myself last night.
