i am currently stalled on doing the tutorial for these , because i started this sooooo long ago that i misplaced the medium crater mold , and i need pics of a raw medium crater to finish the tutorial , but here are the pics . the more experienced among you will probably understand the process right away even without the tutorial .
companies like GW and GF9 make some nice crater sets to spice up the battle field , but the problem is that they dont really let you customize the terrain pieces , in that the craters are a one size fits all notion . if you want to make a cratered piece , you have to custom make the craters .
so i started out by cutting and carving 3 different sizes of modular craters , then i cast those in resin . THEN i decided to make rubble bits to spruce them up a bit and make them MORE customizable !
now the game i am playing , i made mine flatter , more player friendly for Dust Tactics , but these could be used to make terrain pieces for any game , and could be painted up and decorated for a variety of environments . its all up to the builders imaginations ! The pieces are flat , NOT fully finished craters but rather the outer base edges of the crater . these allow some one to build the craters to match the type of terrain they are in . in my examples i made them for urban combat .
on a side not , i thought i had only made 2 "rubble" molds , but apparently i did 4 different ones . i spent a few hours tonight pouring them so i would have some for my etsy shop once i get the tutorial done . now i gotta wait till next payday , i am going to drop the hammer and order more resin supplies .
i think its a really big idea whose time has come .
enjoy
