A proper carve-up!

I’m omnivorous when it comes to what I’ll use when creating scenery. I”d like these pieces to outlast their first game however, so I’m using tried and trusted insulation foam, coffee stirers and green stuff. I’ve found that polyurethane (Sp?) varnish really works to set the pieces once I’ve carved them — they feel very fragile up until that point, being insulation foam and therefore mostly air.

If you’re curious as to the how, it is just carving away at the shapes till I have something I like. Some of the rocks or crystals are reinforced with cocktail sticks or pins. For now this is essentially foam and PVC glue. The end result is soft as fluff. A soak in varnish should cure this problem.

Next I need, fallen trees and to start thinking about colour schemes.

Having played a few games of Moonstone recently with some award-winningly drab grimdark scenery – out of necessity, obviously, I really wanted to create something that suits the fairy tale atmosphere of the game. There is some great terrain available on Etsy, but they’ll want money for it, and I want to keep mine where I can look at it.
