I have always been a figures/vehicles guy, but have been thinking about terrain for a little while now, I have started my terrain project off by purchasing this green teddy bear fur and a door mat, I had been looking on line for a suitable fur for a couple of weeks, but had not found anything suitable in my price range, I stumbled across this at my local spotlight not long ago, but it was $70 a meter, and I wanted 2m, and couldn't afford it then, luckily spotlight was having a 40% off sales this week, there was only 1.3m left, it ended up costing me $60.
I also bought this $5 door mat to turn into crops.
Now to decide how to proceed, my options are
1) leave as is, and build some roads/rivers to place over it (this would give the most flexibility)
2) leave as one piece and cut roads etc into it, less flexible, but I have seen some stunning examples done like this.
3) cut it into 1 foot squares, glue to rubber backing and cut roads/rivers into it, this will give it flexibility and the same look as option 2, but it will end up heavier and harder to store.
Thoughts? If I leave it in 1 piece, should I add colour? should I shave it down with hair clippers? there is about 1,1/2 feet overhang on one side, I could cut that off, glue to rubber backing and cut roads/rivers into that? lots of ideas.
I plan to make buildings out of printed paper, which I will add extra detail to.
