Modular gaming hills

thingiverse

Updated 2017-12-15: Added magnet holes like for the entrances. This is a set of versatile pieces that lets you create unique hills for wargaming and roleplaying games. The pieces are designed to snap fit together seamlessly with the applied clip. A wide range of sizes is available, so explore the possible combinations to find your ideal setup. Keep in mind that not every piece fits perfectly with others visually. You can craft full round hills or edge hills (made from two pieces) or corner hills (made from one piece). The possibilities are endless. Printing these hills requires very low infill settings. I personally use 5% honeycomb, and the results are impressive. The hills in the pictures showcase a variety of painting techniques. The desert hill is painted with dark muddy brown paint, then drybrushed with a lighter color to achieve a realistic look. In contrast, the dark grassy hill is painted black and then drybrushed with lighter grays to create depth. The lighter hills are painted white and then washed with yellow, red, brown, and black for added realism. The textured hills are also flocked using a simple technique. To start, thin down PVA glue with 50% water. Apply the mixture to the hill, then sprinkle sand and grit on top. Let it dry completely before spraying or painting with PVA glue (80% water). Repeat this process for a natural look. I'd like to extend my gratitude to my patrons who have helped me deliver quality printable terrain models. Your support is invaluable!
