Loving the new terrain sprue's detailing, the fence/walkway squares are super adaptable. If only it came with free time to experiment...

Insaniak, what do you use for your bases on these terrain features? Cardboard/poster board?

Some of the earlier pieces used Foamboard, but it's not ideal as it warps easily, so these days I use foamed PVC or hardboard. Mostly the latter.

I really love your terrain sprues and all the inspiring projects you have made with them. Are we allowed to post our own stuff in this thread? I recently made a garage out of a cardboard box, some mesh, some plastic strips and some of your bits. It was really fun and easy to build.

No, just the 'Well, I'm not drinking that...' persuasion. Spawning ponds will be a little more organic, when I get to them.
