What terrain can I make with my kids old toys?
Looking for rectangles
In an attempt to make my life easier, I thought I’d inspect the play tiles and look for larger areas where I could harvest to create a number of same sized rectangles. This proved successful and I managed to get quite a few. Of course there was a lot of cut offs, so I put those aside for use later.
I used PVA to glue those together, using some of the balsa from the crate a couple of posts back to add beams the house.
Windows were either cut out, or assembled from smaller rectangles, with the edges hidden with more coffee sticks or wooden pegs. A gable was added using the curved shape of one of the off-cuts, rafters were even more coffee sticks and roof tiles were added with cut up very thing EVA shapes (I’ve no idea where they came from, but there were collected from the kids craft supplies).
I didn’t go for the heat and roller to add texture this time, but rather the age old method of slathering the building with a slurry of thin polyfila mixed with PVA and craft paints. Once that was dry I used more craft paints to add a bit of colour.
