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
These are looking really good, mate. Looking forward to seeing them on the table.
