Modelling Terrain Features - Woods and Forests
(Woodlands and forests )
Woodland - Base Cut out a woodland base of the required shape, 1,2,3 or more hexes, from thick card or hardboard. If using hardboard, the textured surface should be uppermost to provide a good key for the modelling materials. The edges can be chamfered to make them thinner if required. |
Woodland - Tree Planting! Paint and flock the woodland base. The trees can be mounted individually on washer bases as seen below. |
This is the preferred method to enable troops to move through woodland hexes. ( You can simply move the trees out of their way!) |
Alternatively the trees can be secured permanently to the base by drilling a hole and fastening the tree trunk using a filler or adhesive. |
For Undulating Woodland The use of broken ground Hexon terrain pieces can be used to form the undulating ground. Alternatively, the method as detailed in low level hill terrain pages can also be useful in creating undulating ground pieces, securing the trees by pushing them through pre-drilled holes in the base. |
