Hello Kieran
Thank you for your comments, it is an ongoing process to refine the same landscape. The hardest part has been the tracks which IMO looks too soft, I might need to experiment with those a bit more.
Once I start on the game board it will be somewhat configurable (forests, hills, villages, roads) and around 69x55 inches (175x140 cm). I hope this size of area is sufficient for many years of wargaming.

WWII GHQ armies -videos
Well, I can't top the last couple of posts. However, I would like to direct you to a couple videos I made of my "complete" WWII GHQ armies. All is GHQ. Still need some little pieces here and there to round them out, but I'm pretty happy with the way they've turned out.

Todd,
Cool stuff. You might want to post this message to the other "Show us yer stuff" thread .. this one is really for gameboards and terrain, the other one is for actual miniatures.

I just finished a little desert town for Force on Force games:

Each tile is 20 x 20 cm.
More and bigger pictures on my blog (link in signature), as well as earlier wip posts.
Thanks for looking!

Here is a TMP link to a few pics of my Battle of Perryville terrain boards sans the troops at the moment. I will be running the game at Hurricon and Southern Front. Enjoy.

Are the rocks real stones? Or made from plaster?

Thanks Ragnar!
The rocks are plaster, but they turned out quite good.

Tiled Board
Guys,
here´s my terrain board, 4 x 6 feet, made of 1 squarefoot-tiles... The railway embankment is one piece, 4x1 foot. I´m planning to have a river part, made the same way, interchangable with that railway-tile... You see some tiles still WIP, in need of flocking. I have to admit, that for today´s game with only 1 company vs. 1 company, the board was way too big... It took 5 turns until first firefight...
