I’ve been bit by the modeling/wargaming bug (reawakening my interest) and have been doing a bit of brushing up on a couple of subjects. [:)]
One of the subjects is making terrain for the purpose of tabletop wargaming. However, while some of you see “gaming”, you may also find some of the information relevant and helpful in building dioramas (or so I would hope). [:)]
So…if you have any links/references which would be helpful, please post them here so we can amass a useful bunch of links/resources for people interested in this subject.
Oops, guess I should include my own list. [:I]

How to Make Wargames Terrain - 0710
I recently constructed a table, 3’x8’ for the purpose of creating a large dirama built around my favorite subject, to which I can add models as I go. The door is quite heavy. I screwed 1x6’s all the way around, then caulked and schelaqued. It’s resting on two of those plastic fold up saw horses now available at home depot and the like. they hold 1200 lbs each, so they’r e ok. Next I’m adding sand. That’s as far as I’ve gotten. I need red sand and I have white, so I’ll need to add stuff. good luck. cmdcntr@aol
