While fighting off the stomach bug and allergies, I’ve not been completely idle. I have been slowly building up a paper miniatures layout including a board, terrain and miniatures. Here is a sample of what I have so far.
The figures are from Junior General by C.J. Fiorito. The trees are from Microtactix. The house, several actually, are from WargamePrint and I created the boards and hills.
I used an olive color on the board and then used HSV noise to give it a speckled effect. I then blurred the image to make it look smooth similar to a game mat. The background on the figures are done in a similar fashion to those you can get at Paper Terrain. My only mistake is that I cut into the commander figure a little too far. I do also still have to texture up some bases. I should have let the cut run across the top of his head or even kept it level with the bayonets. I still have roads, river and maybe a bridge or two to make. I am pretty happy with the results so far.

I REALLY like the look of that. Well done!
Looks good! What are the overall dimensions, and what does it pack into?
@Ed: Thanks!
@Rob: Each board is only 7″ on an edge. So a minimum of a 7.5″ square box. I am thinking probably something more flat though. I really haven’t given it much thought. Let me get through all of the terrain production first! 😉
I see. 😯 This will ultimately be much more portable than my effort, as shown in this blog post: http://sharpbrush.blogspot.com/2017/03/172-scale-fantasy-campaign-ideas-part-1.html?m=1
That’s a nice setup, Rob. I suppose the box won’t store neatly in on the parlor shelf but so long as their is room in the trunk, it looks pretty portable to me! I suppose there is an inverse relationship between size and “tangibility.” The more tangible the setup (real models etc) the bigger the storage case.
Thank you. It’s sized to fit the largest box that will fit under an airline seat, so that I have something to take to a con if I fly.
