So here's your fill for the day. What have I been doing? Display board, of course. Althoguth I really should be getting on with miniature painting I took some time out to do the presentation work. I had some foam board left over from 5 years ago and felt it was time to use it. I've explained what it's for already, and I'm pretty pleased so far, but then I've never painted a peice of terrain before that was made from foam board. *sigh* not looking forward to that endeavour.
The set is modular and heavily BTP influenced, the positions of the hills etc. What's new though is the room for citadel forests which I've not seen before.
Here are the first pictures:
So as you can see, I only thought to take pictures when I'd begun. The edges are pretty rough at this point as the only cutting tools I have are a pen-knife attatched to some plyers, a small "exacto-knife" and a bread cutter. I have sandpaper, but it's tesco brand and therefore becomes useless after a few swipes.
Later on I'd cut the forest area out by tracing the outline of the base, then drawing a grid. Cutting the edges of the grid gave me a sort of slabbed road look, which I might remember for a Tomb Kings army some day.
I then cut those squares into smaller grids of about 6-16 pieces and did the same. The effect made the underside bumpy but consistent:
And finished:
So I tested it with the trees next to find one side fit perfectly, whereas the other was a bit further up than I'd have liked:
I sanded the area down, but didn't get a picture of that, not that's you'd have been able to see it anyway. But here are the trees fitting perfectly in place:
And finally, the spare peices that I may use for an Osgiliath board... lol jk I'm throwing them.
So that's that for now. Later or tommorow there'll be another update, so keep looking forward.
