Here's a project I've been working on for about 6 months now. Finally got my mat painted up, so it is ready to show off!
I'd like to add some signs, posters, and window dressings to the buildings. Otherwise, I'm done!
Very happy with how it came out.
Buildings are based out of 2x4s cut to sizes. I glued Balsa Wood planks to the sides to make the walls, doors, ladders, and windows. They are not enterable, but there is at least one ladder on each building to maximize the play area.
Rocks are made from Pine Bark nuggets.
All other wooden structures are made of Balsa wood as well.
Cacti are from the Pegasus Hobbies cactus set.
Mat is a canvas drop cloth covered in silicone caulking, and a plastic bag was used to texture the caulk.
I strived for the recommended 33% terrain coverage. Out of that 33%, a third is severe only, a third is cover granting / "forest", and a third is true Line of Sight blocking cover.
