I built a solid on board on which half of the run could be mounted (this allows me to move this round the battlefield) and I just wanted to take some pictures to share.
I'll now have to start looking for woods, jungle and mountains....
I hope you agree this adds a great deal to the potential of photos...

Until next time
Nice how did you make the backdrop? I have always kicked the around the idea of doing something similar...
ReplyDeleteNeat.
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect to me.
Funny thing, on my latest game I played I thought about doing a backdropp for one of the short edges.
That really looks the part and blend in nicely!
ReplyDeletePerfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteGreat background find!

The cows one looks great with the wall hiding the join it really adds to the illusion.
ReplyDeleteI have thought of this as well, my wife is a painter...and I am begging here to paint some fields and sky on my fake wall in my game room. I basically put 4 sheets of siding on my inside garage door, wired it on. Maybe one day I will have a back drop. That is one Great looking back drop.

Impressive, very impressive...the background is excellent!
ReplyDeleteI saw those in the local Modelzone and was tempted. After seeing your setup I definitely going to buy one.
ReplyDeleteVery well chosen, this backdrop! Just pay attention to the height of the horizon for pictures (eye height of people equal to horizon line); then, you have the perfect perspectivic effect. Your pictures sho already what we can expect of your next posts - they look very atmospheric!

Great use of the backdrop - I use a backdrop round my table and it makes a difference to photos and gaming as it makes the scenery appear to have some depth.
ReplyDeleteI think the one you have used is the Gaugemaster GM702 - Large Countryside Backscene - this range is a good size and well priced but you have to be careful with them as there are modern/railway bits in them so you have to select the useable part to be neutral.

What great use of an inspired impulse purchase. Brilliant how you get the terrain on the table to fit with it perfectly!
ReplyDeleteIt turns out really great. That is really a very creative idea. I simply love it. But how long did it take you to make it?
