15mm terrain board and new terrain.

Hello and welcome back. 

I have been cobbling some 15mm PA terrain together. But first....here is one I made earlier....


This PA terrain board was started (and finished) a couple of years ago. Life threw a few distractions at me and I forgot about it. This board is a 2 foot square, 2 inch thick blue foam board.


I put some roads on and carved lots of cracks and stuff. The concrete footings are bits of 4mm cork tile. I have some old rubble resin tiles that was supplied by Curtis of Ramshackle games. So I glued a piece in one corner. Lots of sand was glued to make a churned up wasteland. 

Once dried the board was primed with gesso. After this two coats of Vallejo earth brown earth texture paint was added. A brown wash was added to tie it all up. The road was painted dark grey. Some dry brushing and road markings finished the board.


Since taking these pictures I have added some arid static grass just to add a bit more realism. 

Now there is the new shack. This started life as a bunch of left over gift cards. The door is a 25mm recessed base with a card door. Scraps and some bits from Ramshackle games adds detail. The roof hatch and grill are resin bits from GZG games 15mm range. The large window was pressed from a mould made from another model. 




This ruin started life as 5mm blue foam off cuts from another project. One reason I love this scale is that you can use stuff that would usually end up in the bin. It is all based on a CD. The door light is a truck mirror by Ramshackle games. The model got two coats of textured paint, dry brushed, graffitied and static grass added. 





Thanks for looking, stay safe out there.

    1. They are made from fine grade sand paper. Sand was glued across the edges to make banks and drifts. Rough stencils made the markings.
