All kinds of terrain.


Hello again All,
I thought to share pics of some of my terrain .I enjoy building terrain so I have made quite a collection along the years.
I think that using natural items is one of the most rewarding when building terrain. Anyway enjoy & if you have questions do not hesitate to ask.
I normally do terrain that can be used in various scales. I use milliput, Das Clay, expanding foam, expanded polystyrene, plaster of Paris, papier Mache & whatever comes in hand :)

May you be inspired.
Enjoy

The few ones with flowers are from Kromlech ( I think) the rest are all hand made Milliput / GS, yes ALL hand made one by one, so that no 2 are the same. Better than a fidget gizmo to alleviate stress :)









Shanty town, expanded poly packaging and corrugated cardboard.














Marsh - Resin & various sizes of dessicant balls



Buddha souvenir

Broom bristles ( natural not synthetic )


Dried stained Garlic roots.


Lava cones  - Molten plastic, resin & coloured pencil shavings


Hand sculpted fibre glass. This will be made into a 4 x 4 board.



Rough terrain - Natural rocks , seed pods , foam alien growth etc.



LImestone sawn into small pieces & used to build walls.

Nids towers - Originally a plant shoot.

Tracks 2

Hello again,
As promised here is the 2nd method of doing tracks.This time in paper so they can easily be glued.
All you have to make/ find is a gear system, in the photos there is a fan oscillating mechanism & the other is made from parts of an old HP printer.
The size & pitch of the gear will determine the track type. The stronger the mechanism the thicker card .
Ok they may not be as defined as flat ribbon ones but they are useful as can be seen from my latest ATV.

They can also be used fro window shutters etc.

Enjoy.
