    I'm amazed that the grass and trees survived so well.
    All the best with your evil-eye, Luke.

    This was the board that really hooked me on your channel.
    I recently used a bunch of your techniques and some of your products on my own terrain, and then took that terrain to a tournament for people to abuse it.
    Went over a treat! Everything came back in great condition. This stuff really is extremely durable. You've hit that ideal space where your terrain is beautiful, while still rock solid, and it's not even that expensive.
    As always, thanks for all you're doing for our wierd little community of gamers!

    One idea I had with the plaster rocks, how about mixing some of the base colour into the plaster? That way the "chipping" would come off as natural erosion/highlighting.

    Oi! Blue dental plaster... try and chip that. It *will* add a fair bit o weight to the boards, but it is indestructible when it comes to wargaming. Also, adding some paint to the plaster will make chips pretty much invisible.

    I tried an experiment a long time ago. I needed to whip up some objective markers for a scifi tournament and because I was out of resin and couldnt be bothered to manufacturing them from scratch I tried brushing some pva into my moulds before pouring in the casting powder. The hope was that they would get a tougher surface so they would survive afew weeks without chipping. So far they have survived well over a decade and been thrown around more times than I can remember.
    If youre worried the plaster is gonna chip give the inside of the mould a coat of undiluted PVA before pouring the plaster. Do it while the pva is still wet so the 2 can bond into eachother.

    As an ex model railroader, I used hydrocal ( dental ) plaster for my rockfaces. It does stand up to use , but can become quite heavy. I’ve therefore begun to scenic only building bases or points of interest. ( also helps with my storage issues )

    I am familiar with games like mordheim and infinity, full of ruins and covers. this board is almost empty. is it specifically designed for games without strategic positioning and mass combat? how many times can you replay on the same board without getting bored?

    This is the build that inspired me to do some similar terrain in 15mm. I'm in the process of doing some modular (600mm squares) terrain for 28mm figures so thought i'd try latexing the trees. Boy does that stuff stink and in a much more unpleasant way than the impact adhesive which I barely notice. A bowl of liquid latex reeks like hot school "plimsols" filled with rotten eggs. However the good thing is the clean up is easy as it just peals off the table when set. :D
