Thanks!

Check out my custom figures. You can see a few more pics of the new Carr there. My favorite part is where I cut off his ponytail!

What exactly is the paint/water/flour mixture?

Well, I'm too cheap to go out and buy plaster or something like that. So in order to make a thick paste to fill in the gaps in the styro, I used whatever I had on hand, and made a mixture of latex house paint, Aleene's Tacky glue and flour.

You are the MacGyver of custom terrain....hmmm think I need to go to the title advocacy thread....

I have been trying to perfect a similar combination using the scrap florists foam from my rock carvings, an old food processor, flour and water

Wow thats a great idea. (I especially like the cheap part.)

Love you're new terrain. Gonna fit in nicely with SotM.

Your newest piece is outstanding, and your tutorial is thorough and helpful.

I like your stuff! Very nice! I wish I had time to get into building terrain again. It has been just crazy hectic. Thanks for sharing. The marrow bone structure looks kind of like mine I did a while back. I spaced them out a little more though to get 7 water tiles in the middle. Did you just mount them on one hex's, or did you just put them all together as one piece?

Keep the good stuff coming! Terrain a battlefield makes.

Thanks!

I used a 7 hex tile for the base, so it is all one piece.

Latest addition: Jandar Guard Tower

I started a new project. This is going to be a Jandar Guard Tower. I'm making it so that it lines up with a nornal hex height so it can be intgrated into any map, or castle.

First, I cut out the shape of the hex pattern and made two. Then I drew the shapes of the flagstones, and cut them out.



I glued them down as I cut them out, one at a time. I did this so I wouldn't lose my place.







After they were all in place, I painted the entire surface black. Then drybrushed on gradually lighter shades of grey.



Then I went back in and added in some different shades of brown and grey to mix it up a bit. And finally, I added a light brybrush of white.



As you can see here, the tower height matches the castle wall with one more tile on top. Nice.





I plan on leaving the battlements loose so I can use this piece in several configurations. But I might paint them to match. I still need to figure out how I am going to get a stone texture on the tower itself. I'd love to get my hands on some of that thin foam that Gidian uses here:


Well, I found some foam sheets. They are only about 2mm thick so they can't be "carved" deep but for this project it should work well. I followed Gidian's friend Wolfgang's method on the Vampire castle.

great job, looks good.

Thanks redic,

I didn't like the stonework I did on the last piece of foam, so I re-made it. This time there are no windows and it is all bricks. I'll get a photo up later. Then I have to get ready for the Speed Terain contest #6!
