Shattered Wastelands WIP pt1

After decades of playing post apocalyptic video games of various flavours one thing seems to be a common feature. A shattered landscape caused by nukes, big space rocks, alien weapons, earth quakes or a mixture of all of them. There are scars gouged in the earth, bits higher than others and so on. 

Looking at my tables they always look a little flat. Even Wargames hills are a little low and don’t have the right look. With that in mind I have decided to build some. 

Lurking in the bits store is a salvaged piece of polystyrene packing sheet. I kept it as the beads are smaller than usual and the material a bit harder. The sheet is around 30mm thick which is useful for hill making.

Out came the polystyrene cutter. The polystyrene sheet was cut into three. The plan is to make to hills of separate heights. I chopped out some recesses which will house the broken pipes.

The shattered pipes are cardboard rolls that aluminium foil comes on. 

Next up is to start gluing and filling. I plan on adding other bits to the hills to give the shattered world look. 

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there.
