Terrain tutorial – Death World cardboard hill & rocks

In today terrain tutorial I want to present how I created rocks spires for my Death World board.

Construction

I used whatever cardboard I had at home and cut out shapes in different sizes. The thickness of the cardboard doesn’t matter, but I try to mix them to get more random result. When I was happy with the amount of cardboard I glue them together with hot glue gun.





I prepared the “paper mache” to cover the cardboard shapes. It is very easy I used toilet paper, water and PVA glue. Mixed everything in a big bowl and started applying the mix with my fingers to the cardboard.





The bottoms of the rocks I covered with hot glue and cut out the excess of the dry glue.



Next step is not necessary, but I mix filler with grey paint and stipple it randomly on the rocks to give it even more rough texture.



Last step was to cover flat surfaces with a mix of different size stones and sand.

Painting

Grey Stone

• Base – Wilkos Flintstone
• Drybrush – Hobby Craft – Light Grey
• Light drybrush – White

Orange earth

• Base – dark brown
• Drybrush – GW Jokaero Orange

At the end I added in random places patches of static grass - burnt grass from GW.
