Here is a map i am almost completed...I present my take on a swamp map...all polystyrene construction (pink styrofoam) and the water is Envirotech light (pour on laquer). Sand, static grass, fine turf and crushed rock are a few other components used in this map. The various dead bodies are hacked up mage knight figures. These pics are all details from the first section opf the map i have completed (20"X24") Overhead View: A more angled birdseye view: A close-up of a skeleton on the bottom of the swamp: Birds-eye close-up of swamp tree and snake. (snake made from brownstuff/kneadatite=2 part modelling epoxy): Close-up of a decomposing body on the swamps floor beneath the surface: Small brownstuff snakes!!: Giant centipede carcass.(and hiding black viper):

Wow!

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

Very fine work. I love the contrast between the shading in the water and the mossy stones as shown in the first two photos.

Now let me dream here: Wizards would use the best story writers to make an adventure that will take player characters from level 1 to 20. You would provide terrains for every single encounter and zenthrus would paint every miniature....

Very nice work RedSkullz. I like how it is not just terrain and water - that there look to be shallow areas and stepping stones. A very nice touch.

That was an extremely hard map to get good pics of...the water looks just awesome in real life. The first time i showed someone the water they asked "Is it safe to touch ". I replied "Hard as a rock, 1/4 inch or deeper solid laquer is tough!"
