Thank you to all those that have pioneered the custom world. You have provided great inspiration & know how. Below are my efforts that would never have come to past without you guys.

Dice Tower:

Wire & Nylon Bristle Trees:

Styrofoam & Popsicle-Stick Bridge:
Which does look better in life than the picture. The colour of the walls are more grey & the timber is more brown.

Steel Wool & Clay Trees:
These I made so they do not take up any hex space. The figures (those that fit) can walk under the branches.

Re: All the brilliant custom creators, thank you for inspira

I like the look of those clay and steel wool trees, cool idea to go in between the hexes too...
 
Re: All the brilliant custom creators, thank you for inspira

Now THAT'S a slick idea. Do you play that figures can go over the roots for free, that they have to spend a hex of movement to go over them or that they have to go around them?
 
Re: All the brilliant custom creators, thank you for inspira

We play that you can go over the roots for free. I see it just like real trees - you see the roots there & compensate your steps so that you are stepping over them. I suppose there is an opportunity that you miss judge & trip - roll d20, if you roll a 1 your turn ends HeHe. But no the roots are only there to keep the trees up & a bit of asthetics.

Thanx, I am quite happy with the end result. & it really doesn't look that bluish colour like in the picture.

Do you allow 2-hex figures to stop while straddling them or do they have to end their move completely on one side or the other so that they're standing flat?
 
Re: All the brilliant custom creators, thank you for inspira

No we don't let double hex figures straddle the roots, they have to end their turn completely on one side or the other.

Great job with those clay/steel wool trees! Wish i had those ;)

+rep!
 
Added some Steel Fences...

Added my Steel Fence Destructible Object to the first post. I only did 3 to begin to see if I liked them & I do:D. So I will be making some more in the future. As you will see I not that great with the hot glue gun but I am still happy with how they turned out. I was going to spray paint them but after seeing them on the board I thought that they had that aged look, & since it's easier not to paint I won't :p. Let me know what you think...

Re: A3n's Custom Terrain

I LOVE the fences! Great add-on in both function and look. The card is nice too. Is that screen mesh you used to make it?

+rep to you sir!

Thanx, & Yes they are just screen mesh & 2 upside down nails hot glued to balsa wood.

Re: A3n's Custom Terrain

The trees look good. I'd vary the color of the trees, which can be achieved with darker and/or lighter colors. One way is to add lighter flock/paint on top, darker on the bottom. Nonetheless It looks good. keep it up.

Great tip, thanx. + rep
 
About a year ago I built my dice tower however I never bothered to finish the detailing. So I decided to get & do that recently, & finished today. As you will see it is uniquely shaped for HS...

with a balcony on either side...

Made to sit on HS terrain, I originally designed it to be able to fit a 7 hex tile to the top with the FotV battlements. However my original painting didn't work out the way I wanted it to so I decided to put foam on the side to cover it up which meant that it was too thick now. I thought about trimming the foam short to allow the fitting of the tile but decided the aesthetic loss wasn't worth it. The 7 hex tile can still rest on top though...

Thanx for looking. I am thinking about making another dice tower for my nephews for xmas but I don't think I'll will spend the time on the HS shape though.

Cheers
