Tiny Terrain for Tiny Heresy
Basic Tutorial
This bit of MDF cost me $12 for a 6 pack which is great value and comes in a 250mm Square. I picked up a giant sheet of thick card from the local newsagent for $2.50. This isn't foamcard or foamboard just thick cardboard.
The Basics and Tools. The most you will need for this project are a sharp knife, a pen, a ruler and some PVA glue.
I've marked this one for Flames of War Bases for another Project of mine but the idea is the same. Mark up some bases and get ready to cut them out.
Using multiple passes with not a lot of pressure to cut through the MDF. If you press to hard you risk breaking your knife and scuffing up your MDF with a ragged edge. It's not likely that you will get a perfect edge so I normally run either some sandpaper over the edge or put a slight bevel on the edge with the knife.
Repeat the same thing for the Cardboard. Once again multiple gentle passes will avoid any tearing, every so often break off the end of the knife to keep it sharp.
Never throw away the scraps, we'll use them later on to add some basing effects and broken floors.
