"If you build it, it will be ready for the con"... ~ Everyone that's asked me to do a commission...
Back in the day I used to do a lot of terrain commission work, but with everything going on for Skull and Crown, such things are more of a challenge. Still I have some patrons that are very patient. I was handed this commission last year with a, "pretty please!". Happy to say I've finally gotten it done and ready for the upcoming convention.
Combo Field
for this commission I was handed a bit of resin cast wall, and some cut foot step rug. The challenge was to make a field of x size with a gate and removable "crops" so that as the troops moved through the field the pieces could be removed.

| Built up walls. the plow field is actually the soft sheet foam, scored |
After figuring what size we needed, I laser cut a base, and cut up the wall pieces and fitted them around, and made more wall out of Epoxy putty. The plowed field is a sheet of 2mm soft sheet foam that you can buy in most all arts and craft stores, which I scored with a pencil in rough furrows and then glued in place. After, I used Golden's coarse pumice gel mixed with flat earth and filled in all spaces where dirt ought to be.

| Top down, field ploughed |

| Top down field with wheat. Corn fields are also an option for AWI games |
After every thing was dry, I painted up the rock walls, did a series of washes and dry brushes on the field to give it a more "rich soil" look and added some flocking and bushes.

Lastly, I made a gate out of wood, with a base, so it can be opened and closed. Looking forward to seeing this on the game tables at Kublacon in a month- I'll try to get pictures of it in "action"
