My empire of unfinished green lol.

Planning on painting the trenches with a Modge podge base then using a grout mixture to emulate mud.

Planning on carving stones into the bridge and supports, basing black, and then dry brushing gray. Used bondo to seal cracks on supports which is not idea but I think will still be workable.

Planning on using these for 40k, killteam, Legion, and Turnip28. Any advice? Is the bridge too tall?

I have resin and a pressure pot. How would I make the explody bits that chilled into walls of glass?

Hi fellow terrain nerds 😊✨

I am building a diy static grass applicator, and since Negative ion Generators are scarce/almost unavailable in my country, I am going with a High Voltage Generator. I know it should be as good as a N.I.G.

-But the wiring is different (see attached image)

On a Neg. ion gen. There are usually +/- in and +/-/ground out

On my HVG there are +/- in and 2x HV + out

My questions are:

Can i just use the -/N from my 12v input to both the HVG input and to my crocodile clamp? And the HVG (15kv) +/L to my applicator sieve?

Or am i totally wrong here?

And: how about the missing ground wire, is that important?

Thanks in advance!

Can you recommend any sources or designs for improved guides and fences to use with the Proxxon Thermocut benchtop hot wire cutter?

Would like to use the full height of the hot wire without my pieces wobbling. People use add-on fences that look like aftermarket kits, but what are the product names?

Are there products available to purchase or maybe an open-source design? Even if it's just the design files, I can have a friend 3d print the pieces or use my woodworking tools to fabricate something.

Thanks for any suggestions.

EDIT: Thank you for all the great suggestions. Checking 'em out!

Hi guys, I do not have a picture yet because camera is bad, but I recently received a big foam box which I cut "ruins" for 40k. I got 8 big ruins (2 or 3 story high) and some walls to completr the board. The idea is to play with them soon enough (2 weeks) at local store because we kinda need some more terrain feature (more and more players are coming to play and we only got enough for 2 full size board and 1 Combat Patrol terrain).

So I cut everything to size, and now, I'm wondering what I could use to kinda seal the whole foam for a few game and then be able to work them to be more enjoyable and cool. I found there is some spray that I can apply or "paint". The main goal is for the foam to not fall into pieces in front of us (its is a solid and thick one, but still, losing bits everytime in the store will be annoying).

Anyone has any idea please? :)

I figured I’d ask y’all, as you seem to have a better grip on getting through complex recreations.

I’m trying to make some stalagmites in order to make some almost alkaline looking caves (think Luray Caverns).

My initial thought was using Hot Glue layered on top of itself into mildly cone shaped stalagmites followed by coating them in a texture paint, but I’m not super sure about if there’s a better or more efficient way.

Any recommendations is helpful!

My prototype stone tiles. Look at https://www.tiktok.com/@plantain_jack?_t=8mV0uM37cPd&_r=1 for more. I’m making them actual 3 by 3 tiles now, since I missmeasured the first 4, and my pizza-box sized battle map got soaked in the rain. My new ones will also be more detailed.

Rounded stones of different sizes, I’m trying to build some stone houses, maybe a barn and a church, and eventually once I’m good enough a castle. Also I’m wondering if anyone sells miniature straw and/or medieval roof tiles for the roofs of these buildings. Any resources/ websites for terrain building are also welcome.

I'm probably trying to think of this the wrong way. Is it just normal western themed terrain? I'm used to AoS so I think of a particular faction to inspire the architecture. IS there even an architectural cue for weird west?

I'm almost certain that the 2 items will work together but I'd like to make sure before I waste any of this stuff trying to do it, it was rather expensive.
