I’ve slowly been assembling a modular 1/72 scale terrain board for my groups Blitzkrieg Commander games. Due to the types of tables available to us, we normally play on a 120cm x 200cm surface. The terrain board I’m building will fill the center of this area, and be comprised of a variety of 20cm x20cm MDF boards, including a railroad (WIPs below), a river, farm plots, roads, and a village. The board, once complete, will fill an area 120cm x 120 cm. The remaining 40cm at either long end of the table will be empty and reserved for deployment space, rulebooks, dice, etc.
There’s still a ways to go with the railroad, but it’s getting there.
The hedges, in combination with stone and wood fences, will surround the 20cm x 20cm plots of farmland. To make them, I cut a heavy-duty scouring pads into strips, spray with Mr. Hobby Dark Green, apply white glue liberally with a brush, and add flock. I’ll also apply a mix of water and white glue with an atomizer bottle once complete to encourage the flock to stay put.
You can see some of the raw materials for this project in an earlier post.
