Howdie folks. Been a bit quiet from me for a while. Real life’s been busy (in a good way) and I’ve been doing things away from the table…
Including making a 6 x 4 gaming table! With a 54″ TV embedded in it!
So, now I had a nice big table I started getting all the bits in to finally make some terrain boards!
I was just about to start putting the base boards together when I got a call from a director/producer friend of mine (headed the team that built the epic Hogwarts model for the movies amongst other things) passing on a request from another director/producer friend of his.
He needed a 6×8 foot chunk of terrain styled on the peak district/wales hill farms. The budget was good, but the timescale was very tight. As I had practically everything already bought in for my own table – it took on the project.
I can’t share too many pictures at the request of the client, but here’s what I can show you…
Roughing out the terrain (brief was mountains and hills with farmland and village with a river…)
Casting 8 feet of home made rock face pieces…
Gluing and sticking and blending…
48 square feet of fun fur base painted (that goodness we had good weather last week!) …
Colouring the rocks…
Grass added and edges blended. Details getting added. Cave mouth for the river
Flowers and lichen
A view across the hillside…
And pouring the epoxy for the water effects…
And the result…
I’m now speed painting farm buildings, a hamlet, fences, and a thorium reactor (yes really!) with 2 days to go before delivery and set up, on set on Saturday. I may be painting things in the car on the way down…. 😀
