Polar Forest terrain piece
A snowy arena I did for BattleMonsters to use for demo games and such.
The arena is based off an in-game location, Lumber-Camp Waddletrudge from the upcoming BattleMonsters - Land of the Absent Sun.
A forboding polar sawmill where men get sentenced to one polar-night of hard labour, a sentence often resulting in death from exhaustion, exposure, lead-poisoning or monster attacks as witnessed by the load of timber and saw left in the snow.
I am really liking working with snow and polar themed terrain and bases. I think it's such a cool climate to have minis and terrain for!
The snow was done by a mix of AK diorama snow mixed with PVA-glue, white ink and woodland scenics snow flock, then with more snow flock sprinkled on top and secured with a spray UV stable matte polyuretane fixative originally meant for pastel colours.
Trees were done by hand as well using the twist fibres in wire and flocking method. They took a lot of sealant to fixate both flock and then snow.
The base was a pimped filament base of my own design, spiced up with silk clay and some foam rocks with runes carved into it and then covered with grit mixed with dried coconut fibre.
The details include an abandoned wheelbarrow of lumber and a saw.
The wheelbarrow was made of carved and textured popsicle stick and a flint wheel from a lighter.
The saw was cut from a small scrap piece of thin sheet metal and enhanced with a greenstuff handle. The studs were done by using a mechanical pencil as a texture stamp.
I think all in all ot turned out quite well!
