After some non-war gaming project delays (robotics and work), the frames for the five 2x5' terrain sections are complete. They came out nicely and are both rigid and light (coming is a 4 lbs each).
The next step will involve some light sanding and then sealing the wood. I am toying with the idea of lining the tops with 1/4 inch think cork flooring and then using a file and Dremel to create undulations in the terrain. I should perhaps do a test piece as I'm worried about how the edges will wear and how my terrain pieces will look when placed on top.
Here's a shot of the last two sections awaiting attachment of the final 1x2' top and a cross-brace that goes under it for support.
I should start scenicing the boards this weekend and have then finished by mid October.
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.

They look quite professional. Then you get to do the fun part, the scenics and all. By the way I'll probably get to see it in person at Fall In! I've made it there the last two years.
Nice looking I am particularly looking forward to the next part.

Looking good sir!
Yet another ambitious project, Miles. I know it'll turn out superbly too. Best, Dean
