I have been thinking about things and gaming the past few weeks. I have found that perhaps my scenery while nice is lacking in many areas and I want to expand that more. If you don't have great scenery to accompany those toy soldiers then the experience is only half way.
So, I am going to start work to build up some collections including:
1) WW2 Pacific
2) WW2 European Town
3) Sci-Fi (perhaps a swing into modern) for Judge Dredd and Super Heroes
4) Old West Town
5) Some coastal pirate scenery....
Here is one of the lovely outlets I have chosen...
5 different type of terrain - that sounds quite ambitious, I think! I'll look forward to hearing about your approach, since more/better scenery is on my "to do" list as well.
ReplyDeleteWell the WW2 stuff would be a full 4x6, the others I think my target is stuff for a 4x4 table. I plan to shop, budget and plan purchases over the next few months. I also have a friend that has offered to buy some scenery also to help split the costs. I just need to decide on what I want to focus on and what he wants to focus on first.
DeletePlus I have my 4x6 Games and Gears board at some point in May/June that sounds like it is on track and I want to buy one or two fo those mats you can roll out that are made with the mouse pad that look like a great buy.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing how this develops. :-)
ReplyDeleteI already am in the process of planing.
DeleteOutdoor terrain is pretty quick to build and doesn't have to cost much. The buildings though...that'll take some time. My biggest issue with scenery is having a place to safely store it all.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the project.
True, but I want some of the cool stuff also like the buildings and such for various games....I have a fair amount of outdoor scenery and it works...I guess I am wanting more variety and some focused specific stuff now.
DeleteYou got a lot to do then :)
ReplyDeleteI do and I don't, just have to pace myself and work with my friend if he wants to add scenery also....
DeleteStorage isn't a huge issue, once I get the Hobby room clean...
The pacific terrain looks really great, wish I had the room to expand a little in that direction.
