I may just have mentioned this before but I hate doing terrain, I'm not particularly good at it and find it all a bit of a chore. However that said these hills were necessary and turned out not too bad, learning on the job as I was. The hills I had were too small, light and each one was just placed on top of the other so any bumping would knock the figures over so I was forced into it.
I'm not going into detail as to how they were constructed as everyone has their own methods and there are plenty of videos out there but here's the pictures with 28mm figures for scale:

Back to figure painting thank goodness!
Dave.
I for one love making terrain, more so than painting miniatures, which I generally find a chore. Your perseverance paid off as those hills look great:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, the joy of this hobby eh, everyone gets a kick out of different things. Cheers.
DeleteGreat work on them, I usually buy terrain as my skills in that department are not the best. You have done a great job there, they look grand.
ReplyDeleteFor not liking to make terrain they turned out very well.
ReplyDeleteNice work! They look great.
ReplyDeleteImpressive work Sir always hard to find the right balance between look and functionality for hills 👍
ReplyDeleteIf this is you not being particularly good..
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to see what you being good looks like 😁
All the best. Aly
Thank ever so much lads, Matt your quite right I had to get the balance right between the look of the hills and storage, so not too many rocks, and the shrubs are soaked in PVA to harden them off. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteDave, these look great. You've done an especially good job with the rocks, I can almost feel my feet aching trying to cross them!
ReplyDeleteHey Dave, was googling wargamers in Morpeth and this blog appeared. Not sure what you play but I am located in Longframlington and always looking for like minded gamers to have games with.
