About This Project

This project tracks my progress with Motley Crews - from warband assembly to terrain building and battle reports.

Day three of terrain building—cutting foam with a hot wire into a checkerboard pattern for Molly Crew. What can you get done in an hour?

Day five of terrain building—fixing visible foam cells with AK Natural Texture and getting everything looking like real stone.

Pre-shading foam tiles like basalt, the magic of dark streaking grime, and why different colored stones make everything look organic.

Day seven of the board project—the heat gun makes moss bubble up like magic, but watch out for that third-degree burn setting. Disaster and recovery.

From one tile to a 2x3 skirmish board—using Mod Podge in cracks, heat guns on foam, and hoping the drill press keeps things flat.

Day 60 celebration—finishing the Molly Crew board with stone terrain pieces inspired by Turkish quarries and a creepy Demon Prints head.

Making scatter terrain cubes that blend into the Molly Crew board—plus setting up a rainy day project shelf for quick 10-minute hobby sessions.
