Terrain basics

So you want to use something that fits the scene for tabletop games than books and random objects found around the house? Then it is time for some appropriately scaled terrain. Whether you're making it or buying it, how is the terrain made?

Well the very first question is: What is it made from?

This is what you will typically find it made from:

• Resin, Plastic and Metal (Advanced, don't think of making these at home)
  
• Wood (Good for basing large terrain pieces, I stay away from carving or woodburning)
  
• Foam (Gets good detail and cheap, but has its downsides)
  
• Plaster (Very customizable in detail, very modular and sturdy. Also has its downsides)
  
• Sculpting Materials (Lots of materials, various ups and downs to them)
  
• Any random stuff you find (Thisis a very essential skill to enhance anything you work on)
  

Each one in no particular order will get its own blog entry so you know the ups and downs of it.

Enjoy and Game-On!
