    maybe's terrain

    Hello everybody!
    I built this terrain project as a present to my boyfriend. It was my first try and definitely not the last one.
    Mostly I like forest or water terrain (unspoiled countryside), also something like ancient churches, temples or fantasy buildings.. more or less ruinous.
    If someone has any cost-efficient ideas or constructive criticism like suggestions for improvements, I'm all ears.
    I hope you like it.

    Not bad for a first try scenery build, especially since you're all ears

    What did you use for a base?, i hope it isn't the shoebox lid, cause it will warp heavily.

    Good luck with the rest of your scenery builds, take care and have fun.


    (ps, i can totally see myself sitting there fishing, i like it)

    Very nice, and a good first try of using water effects. My first try was not a success I can tell you. :P
    Though if you would one day want to expand your landscape, you should think about how to do that. It's a bit hard to see if the piece is glued to the shoebox lid, and if it is, you might consider if there is a way to remove the white sides and make the side edges really flat, that way you can make many pieces and place them next to each other. Or some other idea where you can place the terrain you make onto a green grassland carpet (like gently sloping sides).
    The reason for me suggesting this is that I assume your bf plays wargames, most likely warhammer (since you are posting here).
    Those games tend to take place on larger boards (6'x4' being standard), and nice and interesting terrain pieces to make the battlefield prettier is always much appreciated by gamers.
    However, these pieces should preferably be easily integrated into the battlefield scenery, either by having bases with the same colour and texture as the "base" of the board, or that all the terrain is made as modular blocks that can be arranged in whatever fashion one likes.

    Or you can just give him this as a decorative gift that he can use to frame his favourite models when he is not playing. However, if you want to make more pieces, I'm sure he would appreciate them even more if he can use them and thereby show them off to his friends when they play, and not just having them in his room.
