to take my mind off that i've been reading my may through some 40k novels and fiddling with polystyrene. here is a bunch of photos to show the progress of my forest, which has now turned into a multi-level forested hill.ok so the trees are almost done, now to start fiddling with the base.
as i've already spent a decent chunk of change on the many many packs of scouring pads i had to use to make the trees, i reached for some printer packing foam i have stored in a box, guarded by she who has no name, defender of the box and the reason why i can never again own something that doesn't have loose hair on it
i sketched a rough shape onto some scrap paper and then stuck it onto an old masonite clipboard i had lying around
using my dremel type tool i cut out the shape of the forests base
using a few pieces of about 1 inch thick foam i glued that to the base and cut off the excess
me starting to sketch where i want what to be on the hill
hilltops
every little forest needs a path running through it :)
cut down 2 small sections of the forest to make the base even more multi-level
marked out the positions of where the trees are going
cutting holes for the trees
and there we have it, the base as it stands right now
