Making a Small Terrain Board Part 1

Alright! I have had all this material around for make a small terrain board of 2 foot by 2 foot. Working on  the concept that I have been working and planning on https://silo1313.blogspot.com/2018/08/modular-city-boards-and-more.html .

I wanted something with some open terrain so that I can add terrain features that I have made https://silo1313.blogspot.com/2017/09/new-piece-added-to-my-terrain.html .

I had a 2 foot by 2 foot pink foam board actually a few of them but I'm going to work with this one for now I also had a pack of 4, 12 inch by 12 inch cork tile I have a few more of those around as well. I plan on making more boards later.

First I laid out the board to what I wanted it to look like, I wanted a small dried river bed with a little trickle of water rolling though it.

Once I had it all figured out I started to carve a little of the river bed out a little at a time till I had what I wanted, then I sand the bed some to give it a smoother surface.

Next I laid out the cork tile to get the shape that they well be then glued them down and pressed it all down with books and weights.

Here is the board as of now.







Here is a few pictures so far with some of my cardboard terrain.







Thanks for looking in, I have more to follow, so keep an Eye out for them. I'm working to have a 4 foot by 4 foot table of these. Ideally I would like to have a 4 foot by 8 foot table but for now this will work.

New Computer!

 Okay so the Great Pandemic of a life time hits and just before the Great American Shut-in, my computer dies, so I ordered a new one using the Wife's computer and it was going to take a little time for it was to get here with everything going on. It gets here and it did WORK! So now I have to go through all these hoops to return it before the would refund my money so that I can order another one! Well it all happened, I was able to order the new one and it is finally Here!

I know I shouldn't make complaints about such a little thing as a screwed up computer, when may other folks love ones are dying, but I do need it to help with my effort to help other.

Just secured 100 surgery mask for our local small farm town hospital, I know it may not sound like much, but every effort helps plus working on getting reusable masks that can be washed and have replacement N95 Carbon Filters for our small police force and first responders.

Every little effort helps

Colony General Store Part 3

The General Store is done and ready for Customers! Overall it turned out really good, better then I had expected.

It will be a busy place as a general store but also as a trading post as well.

So here are pictures of it finally finished.










There is plenty of room for any action that may happen and will fit in to any P.A. games.

I have plans for a new project, so keep checking in to see what's happening.
