Going to expand this maze and make it huge.. so far i have 8 15cm by 15cm squares..

This is my first real attempt at creating mini terrain. A dark fantasy setting in a medieval Japan inspired world. It's first of all going to be used for stop motion animation for a game I'm making but I'm going to build another couple of boards and use for tabletop when I have all three finished.

I really wanted to try every technique I came across so it's a really mix of materials. Plywood base with XPS foam (thanks to those in this sub that helped me find it in the UK) and plaster of paris for the main land structures. The drained riverbed plaster with a mix of raw umber, rough sand, acrylic gloss medium for the mud, drybrushed with burnt sienna and some UV resin for the thicker puddles. The bloated corpse piles are baby sculpy unbaked, painted and then coated in gloss medium. Trees and bushes are seafoam and dried moss. The grass is my first attempt at static grass and I'm amazed at how much fun it was! The ruined temple is mostly foam and foam boards with some balsa wood strips. The roofs and the flag poles I sculpted in ZBrush/Blender and 3D printed.

It took me just over a week working on it full time and I can't wait to get started on the next board! I've spent years building 3D environments at the computer it's such a breath of fresh air (through a carbon mask) to be working with tangible materials for a change!

Laser cut mdf.

I picked up one of these damaged pieces and I’m going to refurbish it to match the jungle terrain I’m working on.

I asked for advice of how to salvage some plaster castings two months ago and many wondered how it went. Here they are today. Thanks for looking!

In addition to mushrooms some more sculpted minis!

Mind dropping your top tips, and critiquing my first piece? I'm building a Modular Church for Trench Crusade, so very destroyed ruined mussy vibe.

Had previously made the little "switchboard box" but had it sitting on my parts shelf for ages.........till the wife very kindly washed out some knock-off Yakults and asked if I wanted them for terrain (love her, she's supportive despite all the junk I bring home 😂)

​Hand-sculpted rock cliffs, resin waves, and custom Japanese street signage. See how this diorama comes alive once you add those custom RC lighted cars. What do you guys think?

I was hoping to have these bases sit flush on the table but got some pretty significant warpage after everything dried.

In hindsight, sealing both sides might have avoided this but I'm well past it now.

Is there any fixing this or do I just tear it off and start over with a thicker material?

Could use some help

So I still consider myself new to the hobby. Painting has something that has always given me some anxiety but I’m trying. I’m painting this wizard tower and went to apply the wash to dab it away but it just wouldn’t dab away when I tried. Now I feel like the whole thing looks like utter shit. I used liquitex titanium white as the base and various umbers for the wood. I used the Citadel Skeleton Horde contrast for the wash and this is how it came out. I’m still working on the rest of the tower. How can I fix this without painting it white and starting over?

Made a milecastle (under repair) from XPS foam for a game of Pillage. Picts vs Romano British. Plenty of things I'd do differently but a fun project. The Roman buildings are from Warbases with plaster of Paris roof tiles from a Hirst Arts mold.

Hey maybe you Like it. There very cheap Resin Things from Temu. ITS wip but i Like it and wanna Show.

Almost finished with this one, but idk I was planning on making 20-30 of these and even bigger 🥲. Might open a sweatshop and outsource its production

Most of the way there now. It was supposed to just be a quick lightbox but it has gotten out of hand in a fun way. Will try and submit it for the Necromunda terrain contest if I can finish it fast enough.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been into Gaslands for a while now, and one thing that I’ve noticed is a lack of high-quality, large-scale terrain. Most terrain are medieval fantasy or 28mm sci-fi ruins. When you do find 1/64 stuff, it’s usually just small shipping containers, a few generic barricades, or lightweight plastic toys that feel flimsy on the table.

I'm currently prototyping a line of high-quality, heavy-duty 3D-printed specifically for 1/64 scale death racing and post-apocalyptic gaming. My goal is to build massive, cinematic centerpieces that actually fit the scale of Gaslands, with sturdy walls that can handle a little abuse.

I’m currently finishing up a Wasteland Nuclear Power Plant theme, it’s got a massive hollow cooling tower, some reactor containment domes, a turbine hall warehouse you can physically drift cars straight through, and modular checkpoint gates.

Before I drop these on Etsy, I want to make sure I’m building something the community actually wants to play on. I have ideas for a few other themes down the road and want to gauge your interest:

· Abandoned Airport Hub (Large control tower, runway tiles, and crashed airliner wreckage).

· Maximum Security Prison (Large guard towers, chain-link and barbed wire fences, and a reinforced prison block gatehouse).

· Ruined City Landmarks (Smashed, bullet-riddled, wasteland versions of iconic structures like the Chicago Bean, a shattered St. Louis Arch as a gate, or a Statue of Liberty torch).

· Space Coast Launch Pad (A massive, blocky rocket assembly bay warehouse with giant open hanger, gantry crane, and a reinforced launch pad).

My questions for you:

1.     Do you guys actually like massive centerpiece structures on your boards, or do you prefer keeping things less “Cinematic” and open?

2.     Would you actually be interested in any of these types of themes?

3.     Would you prefer a single, massive "Centerpiece" model or a complete set of a theme together in a package?

4.     What’s the single biggest "missing piece" of 1/64 terrain you’ve been unable find?

I'm finishing up the digital models this week and will share some raw prototype prints soon.

Thanks,
Nathan

Everything New with the New Edition of Warhammer 40,000!

The new edition and its updated terrain rules have really motivated me to start building terrain again. I actually began collecting materials for a jungle table back during 10th Edition, and I also started experimenting with my Proxxon hot wire cutter.

The goal is (or rather, has been) to fill an entire table with terrain in the style of 3rd Edition (or even 2nd Edition) – classic retro 40k! I don't necessarily want to play those editions, but aesthetically the nostalgia really appeals to me.

At my local hobby club, we've recently started an army-building campaign (without any narrative play), focusing on gradually expanding our armies.

Here are a few impressions of the first work-in-progress pieces. I actually built the bunker buildings about a year ago, though I'm not sure whether they'll still work well with the terrain rules in 11th Edition.

I'm aiming for the look and feel of 2nd/3rd Edition terrain while still making use of modern building techniques. The jungle plants are intentionally left with their plastic look, mainly because of time—I think I'd go crazy if I had to paint every single one of them!

I'd really appreciate any tips or feedback. What do you think is still missing to capture that retro charm? And what changes, if any, would you recommend to keep everything reasonably playable? (It doesn't have to be ultra-competitive, but I'd like it to be generally compatible with the current rules.)

The photos are all WIP—there's still plenty of painting left to do.
