I cut out the 2×2 block and then laid out some of my existing terrain and figures to get a sense of scale.\u00a0 Using a blue marker, I rough-sketched some terrain features to get a layout.<\/p>\n
I don’t really have the right tools so with a long razor knife, I hacked the crap out of the layout in strips. For the plateaus, I carefully cut in at an angle and rough-formed the outlines.<\/p>\n I wasn’t too worried about the deep gouges as I didn’t want the land to be perfectly flat.\u00a0 I’ll find out later that I also didn’t want the land to be like the unforgiving hills of the Scottish Highlands either.<\/p>\n Moving on, I cut a river\/pond channel out as well.<\/p>\n I decided to rough out some stairs to one of the plateaus.\u00a0 This was measured to be wide enough and at angle that would still accommodate Test of Honour’s wide bases.<\/p>\n The gouges were a bit much so I decided to start filling them with some drywall spackle.<\/p>\n Well. A lot of spackle. Luckily, my wife’s last home improvement project saw her overbuy in the spackle department so I had a big tub to work with.<\/p>\n I did a test laying out my big Dojo building and found that the terrain was completely unstable for it so I started building up a flat area. This proved to be quite a task so every night, I go down and lay down a layer of spackle to try and smooth out a flat area for the terrain piece.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
