Here are a few examples of efforts trying to make buildings for Infinity the Miniatures Game.

The result of 3D printing terrain is based on quality of the 3D file. I have some work ahead of me to get my designs ready for the printer. But, you get the idea.

Below are some examples of 3D models that I printed from a Kickstarter Campaign that had rewards with 3D files of terrain pieces. You can check out Thunder Chrome 3D printable terrain pieces here. By the way, Amazon even sells 3D printed terrain from different vendors, which are cheaper than a lot of the plastic model kits you might find. Though, you should shop for the better quality pieces. With 3D files, you can enlarge or shrink terrain pieces for these miniature tabletop games as needed.

Just be aware that at a certain point, the size of the details will determine whether they will appear properly on your 3D printed piece. Now, there are a ton of ways you can take found material around your home, or workplace, and turn it into useful terrain and buildings. A knife to cut, a metal ruler to make straight edges, a surface that you can use for cutting, and glue. For scratch-building with paper based material , however, I recommend either PVA white glue, or a hot glue gun.

The hot glue gun that I have is one of the larger sized ones. The best knives for cutting card board are utility knives. They are affordable, and come with disposable blades. They are super sharp out of the box and take to cardboard like…cliche incoming… a hot knife through butter. Sure an exacto-hobby type knife might give you more precision, but what you really want is a good grip on that handle.

Most hobby knives have thin barrels, e. Card board is one of the most damaging materials to a sharp knife. Card board will dull out any knife super fast.

I sharpen my utility knife blades on it. And, in some cases, I think my utility knives end up sharper than they came from the factory! Just apply blade at the proper angle, and after a few even swipes on both sides that blade will sing through card board.

I prefer to create by eye-balling dimensions. I feel this frees my mind up toward the creating process. I want to make sure my troopers with 30mm diameter bases can actually fit through doorways, stand on steps, or stay put on walkways. To start making terrain, I generally take stock of what materials I have and ask myself what I could potentially make with it all.

This probably means 90 degree angles. Create boxes of different heights and footprint size. Add details, like windows, and rooftop elements.

Air ducts and chimneys provide cover and line-of-sight blocking objects. When I work with cardboard, I use the hot glue gun so I can move fast.

Hot glue bonds within seconds of hitting the card board material. This allows me to work quickly to build up those big shapes. Within a few minutes I can crank out a bunch of boxes and urban-looking sets that can stack together to form a city tabletop board. A good tip to strengthen any card board or paper-based material is to cover every surface with a coat of watered-down PVA glue.

Simply mix a ratio of glue to water and use a large brush to cover the final terrain pieces. Let that dry and the glue will fill pores and harden the overall structure. To add further realism and strength to a scratch built terrain piece, you can use DAS clay. DAS clay is a fast-drying clay that is awesome for terrain building. You can mold it, cover your buildings and terrain, and once hardened, paint it. You can even carve texture into the clay before it has hardened. You merely take clay carving tool like these , and you can create bricks or realistic stonework.

For buildings with roofing and other detail elements, you can use cardboard scraps, bit of foam, plasticard, card stock, and wooden coffee stirrers. Not all wargaming terrain needs to be urban, or human made. In fact, most pitched battles do play out on fields with natural formations, such as hills and rocky cliffs. If you play games like Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar, natural phenomena on alien planets or other-worldly realms might be more in line with your scenario.

The principles of making natural terrain pieces is the same as for buildings. Start thinking about big blocks with larger footprints. Then, move to the medium size shapes and stack them up. The one I have is really affordable. There are better, more elaborate hot wire foam cutters , e. Also I should mention, that all these techniques work well for making doll houses if you have a kid like me.

When you want to make your own wargaming terrain, there are several ways you can go about it. You can use reference guides, like books, 3D model and print your terrain, or improvise and scratch build. Best of all, terrain making is fun, inexpensive, and effective.
