Well it is that time again. I am ready to build a new project. This one is going to be bigger than ever. This project is going to be a full fledged terrain board. The board is going to be a winter theme as Khador live in the northern region. My overall plan design is going to be mountains in opposite corners with a large stone bridge connecting them over a shallow creek. I did put some thought into this and figured that if the battle took place on the bridge you would only be playing that part of the board. I want the bridge to be the focal point, but I want the whole board to be playable. So I will be adding a crumbling side to the bridge so that you can still play straight down the board. I also want to have two guard towers in the middle of the bridge for some added detail and height.
So now that I have my plan all set out for me I did draw a blue print of what I wanted. [ picture will be added later]. I then took the blue print and added it to the table. Modifying it a bit to handle the different model bases. Once I got everything laid out I then started to cut up some foam. I cut my large piece in half so that I would have two 4' X 2' foam boards to use as the base. The foam board is 1.5" thick. I then used 2" thick foam for the mountain. This allowed me to measure 1" for a step and I was able to cut it out. Later i will be adding more detail to the hill, as I want to get a rough idea how all the large pieces are going to fit together.
So far this is as far as I got, but I'll be adding to this post as I move along with the progress.
