The building of a thousand terrain pieces begins with a single snip
Well, maybe not a thousand terrain pieces, but there certainly are a lot of pieces in this box.
So, armed with my trusty snippers, a sharp knife, file, sanding board and glue I begin my journey….
The first cut, keeping the flat edge to the mini in order to get a cleaner cut19 snips later, and after sanding down and gluing, the first small terrain piece is assembled.
I forgot how long these stages can take, but I know I will get faster as I build more.
For some of the flat base pieces I like to use the sanding board, to ensure a consistent flat surface over the larger area. Sometimes when using a file on a larger flat surface you can end up not getting a truly flat finish. Although, for terrain pieces it is likely not as important.
Since this set has a number of similar terrain pieces, made up of quite a few very similar components, I prefer to work on just one terrain piece at a time.
Snipping out just those parts needed for this specific piece, and laying them out as per the build diagram to avoid mixing them up when cleaning and assembling.
Some time later.....
After a seemingly not insignificant period, my alloted hobby time is at an end (and the dining table needs clearing up).
It’s only some basic terrain pieces put together, but it is six more pieces than I had at the start ?
Progress is progress…..
With that, I'll see you next time - whenever that may be ?
