Then you can use the graph paper as a template, cutting out your paper then placing it over the styrofoam.Īfter you are finished with the basic design, you can use a pen, some paint, and art paint and other appuratances to give the details to your hulk sections. If you have access to the graph paper, you can do the math and increase the size by ratio of 1 25mm squaer, to 1-40mm square. Start small, like one basic hallway tile, the square 9 x 9 with 2 doors, then continue with the basic 1 X 5 squares hallway sectionsĪ pad of Butcher board paper under a clear plastic sheet. I would increase the size of your old placard hulk tiles and make them 2X the size of the originals. Use 40mm squares instead of the 25mm ones. you will need about two lenghts for each 2x4 section. Here in the states the 2x4 hardboard is about $8 bucks at home depot and the 1x1 come in 8ft lenghts for about $3 or $4 bucks. this will be a pretty sturdy board two of them will be a 4'x4' board. you can then base your board wth you wire mesh etc. and then apply wood glue and screw the 1x1 to the hardboard and then screw the 1x1s together (be careful not to overtourqe the screws through the hardboard, snug them down until they are flush - use countersink type screws. need to measure this because it may not be cut to exactly one inch.) These go down the middle of the board evely spaced one on each end and two in the middle. 2 - four foot lengths (these go down the edges of the longside) and then cut 4 22" from the 1x1" running down the side - it takes up almost an inch. cut the 1" x1"s into lengths to edge the 2x4 hard board. The gaming club has a ton of Cities Of Death terrain just sitting in boxes, which is food for thought.Ī good way to build the board would be to use 2' x 4' sheets of hardboard and buy several 1" x1" boards. Yes, anyway, I'll use this thread to post images of the project as it happens. I'm worried about keeping the boards flat, too - what are the best cost-effective basing materials to use that will prevent warping? Before I start, I'd love to know if any of you guys have any experience or pointers for this kind of project? I'm certainly planning on using lots of fine wire mesh for that cool spaceship floor look. As such, I'm taking this as an excuse to build my own Space Hulk terrain boards based around 40mm squares. It's a real giggle, but the one drawback is my Terminators don't fit on the board squares. At my gaming club last week, I was reminded once again of the joys of playing Space Hulk.
