My parents fell in love with terrain building.

The redditors over at r/boltaction thought you all might like this. Last year I got my father into the Bolt Action war game as something to do during his retirement, and I unknowingly created a terrain building juggernaut. All on their own my parents started building desert terrain, and now it’s become one of their main hobbies. My father designs each piece and creates the base and general shape, and my mother gleefully covers it in sand and rocks. Apparently placing the bushes is the best part. Due to our schedules we don’t get to actually play that often, but that doesn’t stop them from building more and more. They absolutely love it!

I couldn't wait for it to be complete to share. Some details are still missing, especially the climbing vegetation. Apart from the Amusing Hobby overhead crane in the foreground, the rest was made from scratch (if you interested in the making of you you can find everything on my Ig industrial_scratch)

The Silent Tower

Last week I took advantage of the sunshine to get the exterior of this monster painted. It's a 3d print called "The Silent Tower" by Stormcrow scenery, and I'm planning to use it in an upcoming ttrpg I'm running.

The main paint work is now finished, but there is still some weathering to do, and some flocking for moss, etc, but I'm pretty happy with where it's at.

Yesterday I was browsing images on Pinterest when I found it, the Holy Grail of diorama building (at least for me). I tried to find the original but I didn't managed to find it.
