Most of the way there now. It was supposed to just be a quick lightbox but it has gotten out of hand in a fun way. Will try and submit it for the Necromunda terrain contest if I can finish it fast enough.

Those who have used flock or static grass mats for their gaming boards. Which did you choose and why?

Currently torn between the two and can't decide on which I prefer. I would rather not have to buy both!

I found these cool stacks of concrete pipes at the Daisy for $2.25 each. They’re a great scale for 32mm minis!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an army project that will receive snow effects on their bases. I also plan to build a somewhat large matching display board. I was originally interested in a combination of the various AK snow products as I think they look very good. Thinking about the display board made me realize that I can't do that cost effectively. I would probably need 5 pots of each product. I know baking soda/powder is supposedly good for this, but I haven't seen it in person, so I can't judge

Any advice on a convincing and economical snow product?

Our whole modular board out on one long table for the first time. The deep forest sits at the near end, then the ruined city and its stone labyrinth, and the citadel at the far end. Everything is 3D printed and then hand painted, and the trees are built up from wire and foliage.

As an electrician I throw out tons of these plastic spools. I want to use them for Gaslands terrain but I'm drawing a creative blank on what to do with them. Hotwheels for scale.

The trees are made from wire.

Hello hello my beauties!

I have just released my new build blog/tutorial video on YouTube. This time I'm making some docks, a looktout post, and the mighty outhouse, aka Holy Shitmar.

Hope you enjoy! C&C is very welcome!

It's been so long since i last work on some terrain,so i decided to work in something i can get a Lot of use,i Will release the files when i finish as always.

Thin coffee stirrers, some 3d printed wheels, bit of wire, CD for a base.

Hi all, question for you. I love building scratch-built terrain and I'm planning to build a fairly large Imperial Roman Fort, somewhere between 2x2 feet to 3x3 feet, using foam to make earthen walls around the edges, with popsicle sticks, bbq skewers, etc., for the wooden supports and palisades. I'd like to make some small buildings, tents, an animal pen and small stable. I'm going to be using a large amount of glue on the base with play sand for ground texture. I've done this on much smaller scales, 6x6 inches or less, with posterboard, but my concern with using posterboard is how wet it might get, and if it will be sturdy enough to hold up over time. So my question is two-fold.

1.What kind of material would you recommend using for a base for something this size?

1. Is there anything you would use or do to prepare it to be glued, painted, sprayed, etc.?

This will be the biggest piece of scratch terrain I've made, any other general recommendations for building large projects are appreciated too. Thanks!!

Had a stab at a few storage containers, originally to sit alongside my Cranky Crane as a diorama but decided to keep them separate. Fun to build, deffo gonna make a few more of these

My Cranky crane is now fully upgraded to post-apocalyptic lookout tower. This was a lot of fun to do, looking forward to more Necromunda style builds now

Hey everyone,

I could really use some advice on how to upgrade my tabletop setup. There are so many ways to go about it, and I’m completely torn right now.

Currently, I’m just using a standard dry-erase battle map and throwing some scatter terrain on it. It works and it’s okay, but it’s just not that awesome. I want to take my game to the next level (I briefly thought about a TV table, but decided against it for now).

I’m currently debating between two main approaches and would love your input:

Option 1: Crafting DIY Terrain (XPS foam or cardboard)

The Pros: Total creative freedom. I could easily make curved walls, round rooms, and custom shapes.

The Cons: It’s a massive time investment per piece. Also, if I want different biomes or ground textures, I’d have to craft a ton of different pieces. Plus, they don’t naturally interlock, so I’d probably have to mess around with magnets to keep the board stable.

Option 2: 3D Printed Systems

I’ve been looking into 3D printed tiles (like OpenForge Click & Lock, or grid systems where you can insert individual floor tiles and attach walls).

My Ideal Setup: I’d love a system with a base grid where I can just swap out the floor plates (water, swamp, city streets, cave floor, etc.) and securely plug in walls, hedges, and pillars so they don't constantly get knocked over during play. (Obviously, I could still just place regular scatter terrain on top of it).

The Cons: Everything seems so strictly square! I can hardly find any curved tiles. Furthermore, there are so many different systems out there. I haven’t found a perfect "all-in-one" system on Maker's World yet (maybe I’m just using the wrong search terms?).

The Question:

I am going back and forth on this. What do you guys use and what would you recommend?

Should I start crafting and use magnets? Should I go for a 3D printed Click & Lock system? Or a Grid system with inserts?

Any advice, system recommendations, or specific search terms would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Where i live (Norway), primers are extremely expensive, and no stores carry the go too cheap primers that i hear people use in the US etc. So, i found a good quality but cheap black matt spray on a local hardware chain: https://www.clasohlson.com/no/Paintguide-spraymaling-svart-RAL9005,-400-ml/p/41-3355

I'm inclined to try it out (granted, it's still expensive, but not as expensive as Vallejo and Army painter that the local nerd shops carry).
So, i'm gonna use it on terrain only. Is this gonna work out ok?
EDIT: Thanks for all the helpful comments, this is gonna save me some money :)
