Something a bit different for me: terrain!!
I've not played a game (of anything) in about 9 years or so but hoping to try and change that soon, first I'll need something to play on...
4x4 Woodland Glade mat by gamemat.eu. Brilliant product, like a giant fabric mouse mat. No creasing, no odd rubber smell, soft to lean on, flexible yet really super strong.

This is all very early days yet and just has the basic colour blocking and washing/shading done. I'll be painting the green to match the mat, and I need to add more highlights, shading and weathering to the ruins. Followed by overgrown bushes and ivy.
The rocks are dried out bark and I sculpted the steps and paving from air drying clay.

I've decided to retrofit these bits of wood I had intended to use as rocks into a fantasy forest!
All very simple, green card, corrugated as a means to hold the glue and foliage better, glued into place (hot glue gun onto support struts- old matchsticks), lathered in PVA then clump foliage stuck into place.
Patience is a requirement: I need to mist the canopy with a woodland scenic spray and adhesive I got, likely a few coats to make it all secure. Then I'll go in and cover up the patches I've missed, probably with a different coloured green just to break it all up a little. After reading up on it I think multiple thin layers are the best approach when it comes to securing everything in place with the with the adhesive mist... so I'll do 4 or 5 layers.

Couple more big tree's like that will sort me out with a decent forest!
