Next up is a really simple but effective way of modelling canvas and tarps on your vehicles and buildings using a bit of watered down PVA and some babywipes.

Are you ready to build some wargaming hills?

2013-03-28T04:48:00.002-07:00

Not a bad little haul for £32, it's hill building time guys. I reckon that I'll be able to make around 6' x 4' worth of hills from those supplies. When you look at the cost compared to buying terrain, it certainly makes sense to build your own.

I've found that the main reason people don't build their own terrain is that they have no real idea where to start or what to use. To fix this, over the next couple of weeks, I'll be posting my first set of tutorials on YouTube showing you how to build everything from basic gaming hills to masterclass pieces.

Keep your eyes peeled guys and make sure you subscribe on YouTube so you don't miss them!

Easter, it's not just about chocolate eggs!

2013-03-27T06:29:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again, spring is here (well, if it wasn't for the snow!), the Easter bunny is hopping around and all the children are getting excited about how many Easter eggs they're going to get this weekend.

But, Easter isn't just about chocolate eggs, especially for scenery builders. As well as chocolate eggs, those keened eyed of you will notice polystyrene craft eggs appearing in pound shops and discount stores. They're also dirty cheap, I got those for £2 whereas if you went to a specific craft shop, you'd probably be looking more around the £10 mark. Available in two sizes, these little eggs are perfect for futuristic/alien terrain.

These little beauties will make the basis of a few sets of scatter terrain, think 'Aliens!'. More on that coming up real soon, in the meantime, keep your eyes peeled guys!
