Terrain log part 1

Hello I've decided to start a terrain log for my ongoing projects so here goes....

I've been building terrain for years, first out of cardboard, or the paper templates they used to include in the White dwarf many moons ago. 

 I built mountains and hills from chicken wire and paper mâché, ruins from the styrofoam packaging that all games workshops model sets came in, painstakingly glued cardboard to all the surfaces to make them smooth...

And now I've found this..

Foamcore is a foam sheet with a layer of paper on both sides and unlike styrofoam (balls!!) it has a much finer texture and it much better to cut and paint.

The main advantage which you will see in the following images is that the paper layer can be removed when required and details can be carved into the foam to create textures like bricks and battle damage.

Sections of the paper have been removed and a brick effect has been carved into the foam underneath..

The sides of the building where cut and the windows and doorways marked out as whole square pieces, the wall was then cut at an angle to give it that collapsed look..

...The cut off triangular sections were used to create the floors 

And finally the whole model was glued to a piece of hard board.

Hope you like them

I'll be back to show the painted version soon.
