It took about 5 months longer than I planned on, but the first set of 6 2'x2' terrain boards for my Faux Fulda project are finally done. In hind sight it was probably rather foolish (or stupid) to take on something of this scope for my first attempt at terrain boards. Oh well, live and learn; That which does not kill us makes us stronger; etc. etc. But the first 6 are finally done!
I'm hesitant to post the photos, they really do look better in the flesh. And the fact that the two folding tables that are my gaming table aren't exactly level makes the areas where the tiles join look a lot worse. Actually, the section of the house that the gaming room is in is 274 years old, so nothing is level. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. I will go back and reflock the edges of the boards, which will hopefully make them less obvious.
Next up, I need to build the boards going South down to Bad Hersfeld.
But, enough with the words, below are the photos.
North is at the top, Bebra is the larg built up area at the lower left. The scale is 1 inch = 100 meters. The cement looking areas are the footprint of the towns, the buildings are just to indicate it's a built up area. Roads were made using AK Terrains Asphalt paste. Rail Road embankments were built up with Grout and 24 gauge wire glued down, somewhat, in parallel.
On a side note, I tried to order some more spaceships for Project Z, only to discover that Shapeways apparently has gone out of business. That's probably old news to most of you but it caught me by surprise.
Enjoy the Holiday Season. To everyone in the U.S., have a great Thanksgiving and eat lots of Turkey.
So much lead, so little time.
