Collins builds the world of The Walking Dead
layout and landforms
to create an idea of different heights of terrain I have elected to use 4mm thick cork matting. this stuff is good as it come with sticky back to it and isn’t hard to cut (it does however dull blades very quickly!)
simply layout what you want, mark and draw it. then stick down the cork board to suit.
when it comes to doing curbstones I simply cut up cereal box cardboard in 15mm by 5mm strips (a mistake, should have gone with 4mm) and glued it on with PVA.
the cardboard warps slightly as it absorbs the moisture but it levelled out eventually. when painted and dry brushed with the gutters filled with crap this will look fab.
finally I kept up the cutting of cardboard to make roof shingles.
one building is very robust being made of HDF the whole way round. another is naff as it is simply a cardboard roof that lost all rigidity when I cut away the walls I didn’t want so I really need to think about how to sort that faux paux
