SAGA scenery

Ever since I finished my two SAGA C&C warbands I have been working on making scenery.



I had never done any desert terrain before so I was unsure how the different items would turn out. Using my Google-fu I found two excellent source for inspiration, and both deserve special mention as they really are excellent:

- Wargaming with silver whistle
- Shed Wars

If your looking at scrapbuilding terrain, not just for desert terrain, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place than either of these sites.

I decided that I would need woods, buildings, a rocky ground and some elevations for the game. So I started planning and getting to work. Eric over at Shed Wars had made an excellent post on getting the Moppe storage thing from IKEA, and I got one of those.

So what started out as this:



Ended up as this:





Another post from Eric pointed me in the direction of a seller on ebay where one could get cheap palm trees with free shipping from China. I got 30 trees, 10 of them larger than the other 20, for around £7 - an amazing deal!



The rocky ground and the elevations where made from items I had lying around, which I had not been using anyway.



Tomorrow I will hopefully have the board itself ready - I have a debut game planned with my friend Michael, so it better be ready.

  2. Happy to see the excellent end results. Maybe a bit of more contrast between the sand and the walls of the buildings. Wouldn't hurt.
    P.S. I would also recommend using the "read more" -function on publishing Blog posts. Now it's a bit taunting to scroll down to find earlier blog posts.
