How to workout how much polystyrene you need for a hills project

[@Bassmunchkin1]

Brilliant Mel and unbelievable, where on earth did you learn all of the brilliant ideas, that you are putting our way... you're an absolute genius

Terry Bass Everywhere, anywhere and sometimes just off the top of my head matey ;-)

You're always a good source for simple but very useful tips'n tricks. :) Keep up the good planning! ;)

***** Well, if I think it's worth sharing, I share it matey

[@OtocinclusAffinis]

If you want to use those sheets most efectively combine your technique with fliping your tracing paper on the other side. This way you can leave more of your polystyrene for another project.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

OtocinclusAffinis Sorry mate, you've lost me there?

[@OtocinclusAffinis]

For example when you were tracing third corner instead of tracig it in a place you chose you could have fliped paper on the other side and trace it on the oposite side to the one you chose. That way you would be left with a bigger chunk of a board left for a future project.

[@OtocinclusAffinis]

Sorry, i meant first corner on a second sheet

[@MrFright2010]

Good tip, very good. Now all I need is a reason to build such a hilly map... ;)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Marth Fright I'm sure you'll think of one matey ;-)

[@MrFright2010]

A warmachine floodlands table...

[@McManiak353]

Cool Mel, I am sure John has stored this info ;)

[@GreySlayerMinis]

[@MarkCMG]

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Mark CMG No worries matey

[@pintspaintswargaming5246]

Jason Chaplin more on the way matey

[@GregBoneHuff]

Greg Huff I'll hold you to that!

[@IDICBeer]

Good tips bud

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** cheers buddy

[@AppleMak2010]

Good suggestion: simple but very effective. [I could probably have worked it out myself, but will save my few remaining brain cells for the beer ;-) ]

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Anthony Little I'm all for saving brain cells for beer mate ;-)

[@DEMONJESTERJ]

coolsskin cheers mate

[@unkhter]

great vid, nice tips and tricks :)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

unkhter Thanks matey

[@Nutters1981]

Super tip, as always. Thanks for sharing. I have a better method though - get really jammy and win a competition where someone much more gifted than you does it all for you ;-) I'm getting so excited about playing on that set now!

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Nutters1981 Well not everyone can be as bloody jammy as you matey!

[@HighlenTerrain]

Sucks you can only get it in 2x4 sheets. unlike here in the US where I get it in 4x8 sheets

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Highlen Terrain We can get those sheets here mate but only for expanded polystyrene, the extruded stuff I use is only in 2x4 sheets. I could probably get bigger but the store I use is only 5 minutes away matey

[@DUTADRN]

any ideea for a 1:72 scale trench?

[@Thejmg2011Blogspot]

do yo have a particular theme you wanted to do? or do you have the figures and wanted a terrain to go along with them?

[@DUTADRN]

i have 3 german tanks 1 russian tank and 40 russian infantery ...i am thinking of something like:german tanks attack on open field ...russian infantry in trench and in back some ruin buildings and the russian tank

[@Thejmg2011Blogspot]

German tanks in a line formation attacking a russian city . russsian tank in the middle of the road as the 40 soldiers hide in the buildings waiting to ambush the incoming tanks

[@DUTADRN]

TheJMG2011 yep good ideea :) but in that case no trench and a lot of ruin buildings

[@Thejmg2011Blogspot]

Yup I'll be more fun to build. Enjoy

[@TribalwarsLedgend]
