  1. Made up of bits that were taking up the majority of a bin. I decided to match them to the rest of my terrain and make them generic enough for most systems including Malifaux. Managed twenty-two bases. I still have bunches of fencing to do. Hope you like. Snitchy sends.
  2. I am liking the small details on your buildings. What did you use for texturing your surface? Snitchy sends.
  3. I whipped these up out of off cast hirst arts blocks. Not a new concept but here is my take. Hope you like. Snitchy sends.
  4. I say run with it. One thing that might help move the sketchup plan to the real world would be a plastic card template for the edges of your rock faces. That way you are going to have pieces match up every time from every angle. That is generally how I do river sections to make sure they mate up correctly. Ditto on the question about the tops being playable. Having it as an option would effectively make this two boards. Canyon and tunnel. Watching with interest. Snitchy sends.
  5. This link might help you. He made a fully playable zeppelin and has quite a few photos and he explains his process quite well. Hope that helps. Snitchy sends.
  6. I grew up in Arizona so I have a couple of suggestions. Stands of brush (most common). Cactus patches (second most common). Water tanks/troughs. Barb wire fencing lines always encouraged growth at their bases. Empty/abandoned shacks. I built rocky spires similar to the ones back home. Here is an example. Hope that gives you some ideas.
  7. I have one of these that fits into my forest slot base. Might be an idea for some hazardous terrain. Snitchy sends.
  8. Just finished my Monty python inspired dice tower. Cast from Hirst Arts molds and topped with Studio Minatures "The Castle Guard" This was to go along with my killer rabbit turn counter. Hope you like. Snitchy sends.
  9. They are nice but very dear on the wallet. Nothing to do with your trains request but another couple of laser cut MDF manufactures are 4 Ground and war bases. I have ordered form all three and they are all pretty good in their own way. You just have to find what you want at a price you are willing to pay. Good luck with the train. Snitchy sends.
  10. First off a good reference for scale. S scale is the closest, if you can find it since it is not a popular scale. You can do it a lot cheaper. The ik folks have been using holiday trains for ages. They work since terrain is representative and just a part of an actual scale train will cover the majority of the board. Another option that is cheaper is to use some of the MDF kits that are available such as this one. For me cheaper that I can dress up is always better than completely accurate. Hope that gives you some other options. Snitchy sends
  11. Smashing work all around. Now I am intrigued, how did you do the stitching? Snitchy sends.
  12. Just did a quick how to toot on my blog for making sand runnels. Hope you like. Snitchy sends.
  13. Sorry, I just saw this thread again. For those who have not used envirotex lite there is a good primer on the Hirst arts website. Linkey It is great stuff. The big thing is to remember it is resin and does generate some heat from the chemical reaction when it is setting up. Deep pours can get hot enough to melt foam surfaces even under your surface texture. Just a tip from someone who managed to destroy a whole table a few years back in one pour. Set me back about three weeks of work and almost a hundred dollars. Again Sycorax very impressive build. Snitchy sends.
  14. I picked them up at my LGS. They are from Pegasus Hobbies and if you do take the plunge I would highly suggest that you pick up only the style "A" trees in either height and not the style "B". The Style "B" fronds are pretty brittle so they can and do break. You should be able to find them from several online vendors. Hope that helps. Snitchy sends.
  15. Just wrapped up another project that had been sitting for a while. My palm forest templates. Sorry for the other manufactures product but it gives a good impression for the scale. I am pretty happy with the basing since I can use them either as set templates or stand alone trees. Hope you like. Snitchy sends.
