About the Project
Short project showing off some scratch built terrain for Frostgrave. TerrainFest expansion - October 2023 This will have new terrain pieces and a revisit to Frostgrave Terrain that was lost in the Beasts of War version 1 to version 2 crossover. (The old stuff was basically on a forum topic of its own and the new version didn't support it) I haven't seen some of it out of the box in years so I hope I can spring clean it into something I can be more proud of today.

Another platform.
I can't recall what the packaging was protecting.
There were two very similar halves. I will work something similar with the other half
Happy with the basic look and the dead grass.
Columns and statues
This was part of a drinks bottle. The shape stood out to me so I based it am happy with it as part of a ruin.
More Bits box statue but put onto polystyrene blocks and a Pritt Stick column. Statue trouble
Still haven't played it, but I believe there's a mission with statues that animate and attack the adventurers.
I bought a Mantic bits box from eBay. It was a treasure trove for kitbashing and these battered minis suited the statue purpose just fine. This was my first attempt at bronze and verdigris and I still think they'll be fine for a one off mission.The old stuff...
An old broken clock became a colossal collapsed clock tower.
A paper terrain freebie from the Osprey website became something more 3D with some coffee stirrer embellishments.
Some of the old drill spun brush bristle trees lost a lot of the flock they started with..
These magical wells that somehow encouraged grass to grew even amongst the permafrost around looked like a fun use for these bits of packaging.
These foam card steps are wonderful. They seal like lightening when using super glue so don't expect any movement or curing time. Bit of flint to show wear and tear. Dry brush and a centre point. One dead dwarf lord long forgotten and one large scale potion caldron. 
Avocado container snow bank.And again with minis...
The minis seem to fit just fine on the new terrain. There's often a problem staying true to the amount of movement you have when negotiating ladders / climbing etc. Depending slightly on the basing my ladders allow the mini to stay closer to the actual movement and height minis have been able to get to.
The terrain laid out looks quite good. I think I need more walls and ruins, but it's nice to see them down on the table. Years ago I picked up some pound shop sticky backed paper (probably draw liner?) The pattern looks like snow / ice / rubble? But doesn't really draw the eye away from the terrain which is great.And on a very similar note...
I had a very similar piece of packaging that got the same treatment. This time I only built up one side to hopefully make it a slightly different prospect as you decide to scale it.
The make shift nature of the piece and last minute repairs all adds to the narrative that these represent in my head canon about these.
I like the ladder. Two kebab skewer lengths glued together on one side and same again on the other, connected by rungs made of coffee stirrers.
And the other end has just coffee stirrers lodged into the stonework and pretty regular heights as a kind of ladder.Finished off
I added some more posts and some protection at the staircase ends. Painted up and snow added 
I made my own mix of snow which I am happier with. The straight up 4Ground snow static grass tends to blow away once dry. So I mixes it with some glitter and some flower soft to give the PVA something to bond with and hopefully hold onto more of the lovely snow static grass texture.
My blend of snow is mostly the 4Ground but a small addition of the flower soft and glitter seems to have less blow away.TerrainFest Expansion.
These packaging pieces have been found in the seasonal / sale aisle at Lidl. They worked out well for my bridge and watch towers. 
I start with the planking of makeshift staircases and platforms as in the previous pieces. 
I build up the sides with supporting pieces, all supported with PVA. These three supporting pieces aren't coffee stirrers. They are an odd shape. Not ice lolly sticks. Not tongue depressors. But sadly I can't ID where I got them from.
I used some contrast colours to pick out a few planks with the intention to use another wash to stain it all anyway. The first coat of contrast would hopefully give me the colour variation I was looking for.
Then I got bored and sprayed it with Dirty down. This has left it pretty dark. And the look wasn't quite what I wanted, so prepared for some alterations.
