I have always wanted to do terrain for a store or club, nice work ...if you can get it Consider yourself respected sir!

Yes it deserves an audience, all art should be on display

Actually got a little more done last night... Pretty much killed off my Elmers so the rest will wait until I restock.

On to the pics

Thats a lot of turf, have to ask what is Elmers ?

It's a type of PVA glue aka white glue.

Thanks for clearing that up

No problem.

not really. I optimized my cuts and threw out the useless scraps as i went.

Have you considered doing something along the lines of Linka moulds


I mean in the sense of parts linking together to allow structural variations

Yes. Once i have the correct tooling to make cuts like that.

I've got you're tooling right here

No, you're right, that needs to be exact.

Yep. If I had a Bandsaw I'd give it a crack (Print out paper templates, glue em onto hardboard/foamed PVC etc, then cut em out...) Interestingly a bandsaw is the one powertool I lack. (I have a drill press, and rotary/belt bench sander. and what I use to cut out bases from mdf (handheld jigsaw) just wouldn't do..

I used these moulds with my dad as a kid, still have all the moulds ……. but the scale is 1/72 scale so not much use really

Or for making a cladding to add detail to an otherwise flat structure (ala foamcore buildings),

Yes, guess but the detail is really …… I don't know how to describe it , I want to say flat but obviously it;s not, I suppose the best way to explain is that the detail is fine for 1/72 scale but to clean and none descriptive to be used for 28 mm or heroic …..

Shame really though

That they would mate, the scale would be great for that, unfortunately I don't collect or play and the misses would love me to start collecting something else ………….

Just tell her that her little world or "normal" is a fail, your collecting things has turned you into a minor internet celebrity.

Its like buying a car always test drive it first and make sure it is practical as well as looking good, the sports models look great but high maintenance and always breaking down and will end up costing you an arm and a leg. LOL …….. just don't tell my misses I said that

No like Vik saids you have ups and downs, like a fair ground ride its great fun but at times it just makes you sick hahah hahah ahah ha …...

*sobs*...

but that it in essence^^ but if you ask a femme to test drive (with) her...

Holy crap no don't ask her if you can take her for a test drive, ask her fugly friend to ask her for you ………. That way you are out of arm reach.
