Hills

February 22, 2021

A bought a fleece mat Warren had praised on a Weekender. He gave it a proper good rub so I figured it must be good. I’d not tried cloth or fleece before and I was pretty impressed. It’s easy to kink unlike mousemat material but otherwise the detail was very good indeed.

I thought this would let me place hills underneath for some easy terrain. I made some hills from cardboard to see if it worked. It creased the mat too much for my liking. So I decided to find another way to make hills.

I found some stl files for hills for my FDM printer. They were a bit akward to match up but I got there. Each hill is in 4 parts connected by OpenLock clips.

I wasn’t bothered about lines showing on the hill ‘cos I could split them and use parts on a board edge.

After I printed them it was a simple process of priming, a mess of paints for a base colour then back to the flock mix I used on the tree vases. The rocky areas were a quick paint job.

I liked the result. More importantly my miniatures can stand on them though they’re a little precarious in places.
