Thanks guys!!

Bobscene, Yes, it fits in with my 12 inch square modular foam terrain.

Matblackgod, yeah, it is a bit unsoiled after setting in the wastes for a few decades. I may change that at some point.

They are spread out in photos throughout my blog.

Below is a table for my 15mm African imagi-nations, this consists of 1 and 2 foot square moduals. I use the most of the same pieces for 1/285 desert and for 28mm post apoc, but have different width road tiles for each scale. There are some 1 inch high slopes/hills along the left side of the table, but they don't stand out well in the this pic.

Below is an example of my green "European" terrain. Don't have too many pics posted with this. This is the battle of Stonne in France 1940, 15mm. Again, I have different roads for different scales, including 15mm cobblestone, and modern paved for 1/285 Cold War stuff.

Lastly is my jungle-ish stuff that I used for 28mm Victorian adventure, and Vietnam in 20mm. It s a combination of yellow and a mix of fine and coarse grass, and uses more specialized pieces. A lot of the rocky cliff/mountain/hill pieces are modular, but only fit together one way, while others are more universal in their design.

Lots more bumpy terrain here:

Victorian adventure on Ponape and Pingalap

And Vietnam riverine tiles for 20mm below

Riverine

The basic system uses a one foot grid. Roads are offset, such that their centerline is located three inchs from one side of the tile for 15mm and smaller, while 28mm roads are centered on the tiles. The offset in smaller scales allows me to get tight and wide turns and "s" cuves on a single tile in smaller scales. Road widths vary for dirt, paved, etc.

I also have a three different water ways, small streams of 1/4 inch width in a 3/8 deep well with sloped sides, a larger 3 inch stream/river (depending on the scale it is used with), and a 6 inch wide river. Again, the smaller waterways are offset 3 inches from one side of the tile. The dimension refers to the width at the edges of the tile, in between the width and contour will vary, with small flood plains sometimes cut in or little islands, etc. Bridge crossings and fords cater to the specific scales, but mate into the standard widths. Water ways also have some 1'x2' tiles.


At some point, I also made a system of waddies for 1/285 Arab isreali games. They work similar to the road system; I'll probably eventually make some for 28mm post apoc as well.
