Aircraft Crash Board
Idea and the plan
The idea is to build a small terrain board (roughly 2’ x 2’) featuring an aircraft that has crashed into jungle.
Constraints and choices:
- It must have fairly small surface area, I don’t have a big storage space.
- Playable for 28mm – 25mm warband type skirmish games. I’m thinking Drowned Earth, 7TV, maybe Judge Dredd. So handful of models.
- Historical plausibility. No weird alien plants etc.
- No need for modularity. I want to be able to model cool stuff, and this is more intended as a showcase piece.
- Playability in the sense that figure bases fit, and there aren’t too many sloped surfaces.
What I have so far:
- Crashed Aircraft STL files from Printable Scenery: https://www.printablescenery.com/product/crashed-aircraft/
- Above partly already, the printer is hot as a write.
- Ikea Lack table as a the base board. I’ve few spares and have used them successfully before to build terrain. Cheap, light and durable.
- Cheap jungle plants from eBay.
- General modelling materials.
Below is a super rough pencil drawing. The plane is enough in scale to fit to the Ikea board, leaving enough space to fit models in between.
