Light Cover Built-Up Area Base
I had decided some time ago that all my tabletop built-up areas would be divided into multiples of 100mm square sections. I designed and cut a fibreboard base for my pair of thatched cottages in this size with rounded corners and wavy edges in the style that I thought suited terrain features better than the standard square-cut base.
I added a wood pile
against one of the
buildings made from cut
pieces of cocktail sticks.
I wanted to include a
roadway on the base so
that I could add some sort
of small building on the
other side of the road.
This would give a nod, I
hoped, to the fact that
there were buildings on
either side of the road.
I designed a shed, or
cabin, to fit the very small
space available. The
model had a footprint of
only 16mm by 30mm. I
made it with a stout
fibreboard shell clad with
strips of cardboard to
represent timber
planking. I gave the cabin
a shingle type roof cut
from card.
The kits are available
here.
