Howdo,

Like Peter, I've started on some terrain for One Hour Wargames (and also maybe Tanks from Battlefront). Just after xmas there was a flurry of enthusiasm and activity which resulted in the following terrain.

Tiles and hills are made from cork tiles, roads are made from cereal packet card.

One tile, size 18cm x 18cm (OHW uses inches, I just use centimetres):



Four tiles together, giving me the required 36cm x 36cm playing area:



Hills:



Roads:



The above are all finished & ready to go, and were done in one weekend. Most time was spent waiting for the paint to dry frankly.

A week later, I made a start on some more hills, woodland and urban areas, but only got as far as cutting out and under-coating before enthusiasm dwindled:



This is how they are at the moment, but I will try and do some more work this weekend.

Boards made up for playing, Scenario 1:



Scenario 2:



Now I just need to get some 6mm stuff built, based & painted . . .

Edit: Yay, it worked!

Cheers, Martyn

Like what you are doing with this since it will be highly portable. Since your scaling inches to centimeters that will give you 4 to 6 cm unit frontage which should look pretty good with 6mm figures. I am developing into a major fan of OHW so looking forward to seeing your 6mm units get into action.
