My new designs include a mix of 2x2 boards and 2x4 boards (and possibly the occasional 4x4 for modeling long grade slopes and the like).<br /><br />Stay tuned, but feel free to ask questions any time!quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-36166245333492603422018-09-08T10:19:26.214-04:002018-09-08T10:19:26.214-04:00Thank you for this, Clarence.

I know it has been some time since you posted this, but would it be possible to provide a grid version of your six boards or measurements for where the roads and rivers leave the boards?

All of the original design work was done with pencil and paper! It helps to cut card into 2x4" strips and play around with the designs...<br /><br />Hope that helps!quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-74940546404403283642016-05-10T05:56:37.358-04:002016-05-10T05:56:37.358-04:00Hi Clarence, just happened across these from Pinte...Hi Clarence, just happened across these from Pinterest (who knew there were so many wargamers on there!) and this is exactly what I need! Can I ask what software you used to create the designs in the first place?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03502222760804604556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-16524898974048726092015-05-25T04:10:30.971-04:002015-05-25T04:10:30.971-04:00Thanks Clarence.

It's now six years later, the boards are finished (all 20 of them) and they've had a lot of use at my local club and around the various shows for one-off participation games.<br /><br />The main success has been the fact that they do look nice when finished. I've also enjoyed, years later, adding bits to them or repainting, and adding the odd new board.<br /><br />The main drawback has, without doubt, been their size and bulk for moving around. It also takes quite a lot of imagination to ensure that you have the best combination of boards and terrain when you first design them.<br /><br />I think your suggestion about leaving enough space on the boards to then place free standing terrain is essential. It's a real temptation with terrain boards to sculpt everything realistically. But that means the boards are less flexible. So very wise words about leaving enough room.<br /><br />Great post and thanks again for the inspiration!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-34479263118814531602015-05-24T19:21:21.103-04:002015-05-24T19:21:21.103-04:00Thanks for taking the time and effort to start rep...Thanks for taking the time and effort to start reposting this series of terrain-board articles, Clarence! Speaking for myself, discovering them back in 2010 was made it possible for me to build my own set of boards, and I'm sure there are many others like me spread across the internet!Mad Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668417524454209192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-7885432629742849862015-05-23T23:27:02.839-04:002015-05-23T23:27:02.839-04:00Thanks, guys!

One of the points of documenting everything was so that I could replicate the process for future additions to my own collection!quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-48854777588952428152015-05-23T22:46:28.832-04:002015-05-23T22:46:28.832-04:00Thanks Clarrie!
