Terrain!


So I've been working on some terrain. Little bits here and there, that will theoretically all get completed around the same time and i'll end up with a handful of new pieces. Today is a little sneak peak of a ruined building I've been working on.

The above shot is the base with some card stock cobblestones and rubble. It's sitting in pool of Yerba Mate . . . a tea like substance that found it's way into my flock box. Jane had bought it to drink, and then found it was linked to cancer causing studies, so I commandeered it for modelling.

Here you can see it from a different angle with the ruined buildings in the back drop.



This is the semi completed structure. You can see the watered down glue in the background, i use that to both attach the flock and sand, but also to go over it a second time to create a more secure hold on the loose particles.

Two piles of textures: the left is the left over shavings of cintra, pvc, and other sign building materials. I grab massive jugs full of those shavings from an old employer who builds dimensional signage. It's basically plastic wood shavings. The right pile is the Yerba Mate -- lots of small dry/ground herbs and some small wood chips. It looks similar to grinding up some dead leaves.

A closer shot at the near completed ruin . . . now ready for painting! Notice the addition of some wire in the structures walls which will presumably look like the bent metal innards of the building once completed.
