I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the board since my last update.

Work with the Sculptamold was completed, evening out the tiered layers, and adding shape and definition to the cave.  Most of the work was done using drywall tools, and a couple clay sculpting tools I have on hand.  Stairs from the Hirst Arts mold #71 were cast in dental plaster, painted with a wash,  and pressed into the Sculptamold, to indicate were mini’s should path.  I tested the angle of the stairs, using the Ghulam of the Suleman Family miniature  from Alkemy’s Khaliman Republic.

We’ve been building a tournament board for an Alkemy scenario I want to write, centered around a tribe of Aurlok’s defending their Manitou totem from invading forces.  I plan to use it in other games we play as well, but that is the inspiration.

Since it is currently curing in the heat of the garage, I figure I’d take some time make a progress report.  You can find part one and part two also on the blog.

After initially laying out the board to have a stepped effect, we decided that we should go with a more gradual slope instead.

Alkemy Terrain Board – Part Two

I’ve made a little bit of progress on the board this week.

Roughed in the waterfall, and the surrounding hills with some 1″ Owens Corning foam board, hot glued to the surface.

Carved a piece of foam with the hot knife,  for the cave at the edge of the island.

I’ve been trying out some various locations for stairs onto the stepped sections, using plaster cast in a Hirst mold.

Steps left to complete:

  • Carving sandstone
  • Additional contouring
  • Giving the cave some definition
  • Add texture elements
