Hi. So I did some thinking. You know how bad it is when you get to the point of having to think. Why is it taking me this long to complete one piece of terrain? Granted, this is my first real foray into the fantasy world and mini-wargaming scale construction. I was on what I thought was a roll. Then that ol’ noggin’ started up.
I did stay up a little bit last night as well to start on the second floor. I though I should make some beams. Without having picked up some .25″x.25″x12″ balsa to use, I ended up laminating some stir sticks (4) into a somewhat square beam using dollar store wood glue. These would be glued into place to support the second floor much like a “real” home. I even started to lay down some flooring. And in the olde world fashion, I did break the boards for a damaged floor effect.
Silly me. Let’s make an elevated walkway for more player choices on the terrain board. Having done so, I again, called it a night leaving an update until today.
Which leads us to today. I looked the terrain piece and I thought this was a little too big. But how to downsize? Well, cut off one of the adjacent structures. Thus one building foundation, became two. And I basically spent the past hour adding stonework along the bottom edge, some inlaid wooden “planks”, as well as rebuilt the walls (out of foamboard).
I know. I am overthinking it. Just get this initial project done. Use what you learnt to make the next one better.
Thanks for reading and keeping up with this project. See you next time.
Happy crafting!
