Terrain and Miniatures
Over the weekend I applied a stippled paintjob and some half-assed weathering to my recently printed 15mm buildings. I need to add further details to make them appear more lived-in, but at least they’re now acceptable for the tabletop. The larger building off to the right is a Norman house from Patrick Miniatures. I still…

Scattered Terrain Sunday
I spent some this morning catching up on the prep for a few terrain elements: First up are these pre-fab dwellings that I designed in Blender. The design is modular, so they can easily be re-arranged or new elements introduced. One key point for me is that the interiors are fully playable as I want…

Sci-fi Rice Paddies Get Wet
While taking stock of my grass tufts this morning, it was evident that I only had enough to sparsely plant the paddies, and one unit would have to be done with mixed colours. Oh well, I suppose the mixed tufts could represent plants of varying age, or some that have already been harvested. I mixed…

Instead, I’ve designed and printed a sci-fi garden bed, or aquatic planter, or… Rice paddy :p…

Progress on Forest Bases
The bases have been drybrushed and flocking/turf applied. I’ll give them a day for the PVA to dry and then shake off the excess. After that, it’ll be a round of flocking touch-ups followed by a matte varnish to seal everything in.

Semi-rigid Forest Bases
I have about 100 plastic bamboo and palm trees based on 25mm fender washers. I was using a system of magnet-in-hole forest bases (printed), but in the end I wasn’t happy with how those turned out. Wantingg bases that could conform to moderate undulations in the underlying terrain (I use a fur mat), I purchased…
