| Trying it on for size, |
I have now finished carving paths, adding a secret back entrance, patching holes, and adding a basecoat of grey.

Tomorrow I should be able to shade and drybrush it, add some flock and generally get it ready to try out.
Terrain projects like this are the sort of thing I always feel I should be doing but never get round to.
ReplyDeleteThis one came together really fast, less than 2 yrs from a freind giving me the stuff to me taking an hour to chop it up.
DeleteI am impressed...I have a number of pieces of flotsam destined for similar conversions. Unlike you however I have yet to pull my proverbial finger out!
ReplyDeleteIt was in my way...... I suppose it'll still be getting in my way but at least it'll be off my toodo list.
DeleteHi Ross- Styrafoam certainly needs the services of the Vacuum Cleaner as it breaks into a thousand tiny pieces- very messy- but once done takes paint. Well done Ross on this Terrain Piece. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteKev, a vacuum would be handy.
DeleteGood useful piece of terrain, from humble beginnings. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, so far so good.
DeleteImpressive and imposing, yet keeping a relatively small footprint.
ReplyDeleteThat has become an important factor. It will dominate the table so I expect that it will only come out when it has a specific role in the game.
DeleteThat looks very useful, can't wait to see the finished article.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Today's project unless it does turn warmish and sunny.
DeleteGreat looking terrain!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Better when done I hope.
DeleteGreat work absolutely stuffed with gaming potential,well done!
ReplyDeleteIts threatening to pull me back into some semiskirmish gamee.
DeleteInspired, Ross, inspired. This cardboard packing is instantly good for desert and rock, castles, dungeons

Your polystyrene stuff is Snow flakingly good for Snow Forts https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/05/first-scouting-wide-game-snow-forts/
These things always look so full of potential.
DeleteIt certainly looks the part. I like the cave/tunnel under the castle.
ReplyDeleteThe one in front was a slip of the knife which has been fixed but there is one around back.
DeleteIIRC this looks perfect for the 'Viking Raid' scenario from Featherstone's 'Skirmish Wargaming' - did you have that in mind? I must now go and dig out my copy to see IIRC...
ReplyDeleteI did skim through a friend's copy once but real skirmish games aren't my thing, diubky so solo, I just don't have the imagination but it will be used for semi-skirmish games. The Elastolin Prince Valiant guys are at the head of the queue to try it out.
