Hex-Foam Terrain Project

     So what big, massive project have I been working on as of late? It seems that once a year, I undertake a massive project. Last year was ... I can't think of any but this here covers last year and this year. It is a hex-foam terrainscape and I bought the hex terrain tool kit back in August and it came in September. Hex Terrain Tool Kit. I had scraps from earlier projects that I had laying around and so they were used as well as so far 2x 4x8 sheets of insulation foam. I am still working on my 2nd sheet but needless to say, this massive project eats up lots of space and resources and I hope in the end, it will be worth it. These videos have been helpful as well. Hex Terrain Toolkit Youtube.

     This was taken back in January. This is an accumulation of 4 months of work at that time. The brown pieces are from the first outing back in October when what I had made was only a tiny fraction of this.

     This is a 3x7 with more than enough pieces currently made to make it a 5x8.

     The allure was the hills. They are gentle and smooth; meaning models of any kind can advance up the hill without toppling over.

     The canyon is what I love about this setup.

     These blue ones are scraps from one of my previous terrain projects recycled for use on this setup.

     We now fast forward to March. I spent a whole month working on nothing but this to get it to this point. A 4x7. Just about every tile is covered but not enough risers; pieces that rise a base tile to a certain elevation, were made. I also made river pieces that widened the canyon but also gave the battle space some interesting features. This is what I wanted to take to Cold Wars but I felt this mess was no where near done enough for presentation so it was packed up. Again.

     So where am I now? The main hex that connects this whole mess is all completed and even a few extras have been made or at least I hope. I am still making tiles and have at least another 15-20 cliff pieces to make. If done right will translate to 30-40 more cliff pieces made. I have plenty of risers being made right now and this is only the tip of the iceberg. I still have to cover the holes up with plaster or wood putty, sculpt them some more after that then painting then flocking and making the cliff sides. That'll be fun. Not. As usual, please leave questions and comments either here or on my FB page The Officer Factory.
