Welcome to my next entry! This time you get to have a look at some more obstacles (fences in particular), a well and something to pimp your existing terrain. But first things first, let's commence with the fences. I made them from balsa wood of different thicknesses. You get these from your hobby store, sometimes the DIY market or architecture supply stores. You could also sneak up to McD's and loot their coffee stir sticks. Better use them for nice terrain that just stirring! For bases I usually cut some "hard foam" (it really is harder than polystyrene, don't know what it is called in English. "Bauhaus" in Germany has it) into appripriately sized pieces and slope the edges. I then drilled very shallow holes for the fence's posts into the bases, added a drop of wood glue and put the posts in. Before the glue dries, you add some minor drops of glue to the upper end of the posts and apply a long piece of balsawood so that it has contact to all posts. This way, the structure becomes more bold and it prevents you from ending up with posts showing in different directions. Add some sand, prime it all and you're ready to paint.
The stone part of the well is made up of lots of styrofoam bricks I cut with a Proxxon hot wire cutter. I then took all the bricks in my hands and tried to "form a snowball". Of course you don't intent to get a snowball, but this way the edges of the bricks get rounded and the bricks themselves get some dents. Makes it look more realistic! Then glue the bricks on a base forming layers of circles. The roof and it's lower construction was also made from balsa wood. The shingles are strips of very thin balsa wood with some cuts on their long sides halfway through. Glue them to the construction starting from the bottom to get an overlapping result.
A very good friend of mine and all-time favourite tabletop mate gave these bookshelves to me. I guess they are from Dungeon Saga. I intend to glue them to some finished ruins or buildings to make them look "once-inhabited". I painted the books in many different colours so it wouldn't look boring.
Thanks for your interest!
