Board Game Terrain Pallets
Heeello instructables!
I'm a big board game fan and zombicide in particular is one of my favourites but its a 2D board and i like my 3d terrain. It can be a lot of work but in this instructible I am going to share how to make a quick, cheap and easy bit of terrain filler in the form of mini wooden pallets!
Supplies
wooden drink stirrers (can be obtain for free from take away shops)
Glue
Scissors
A mini b
Cutting Out the "planks"
Cut the round end off one of the stirrers and using the base of your mini to measure the length cut out a "plank".
You will need 8 of these (two stirrers should be more than enough)
You will probably have "off cuts" that are too short for planks, DONT THROW THESE AWAY, you will use them shortly.
Stick Em Up Pt 1
Take 6 of your planks and arrange them 4 horizontal and 2 vertical (or vice versa doesn't really matter)
Stick the 4 evenly to one of the 2 and then box it off with the other of the 2.
Stick Em Up Pt 2
Now take the bits that you didn't throw away and cut them into small squares roughly the width of the stirrer.
Once you have 8 of these glue two stacked on top of each other at each corner to create risers.
once this is done stick the remaining two planks to the adjoining spacers
Finished
DONE!
If you want you can tidy up the edges with some sandpaper or stain them or you can even burn them a bit for that proper apocalyptic feel (OBV BE CAREFULL WITH FIRE!)
as always I hope you enjoyed this instructable and thoughts comments, criticisms and photos of your own mini pallets (possibly in use in board games?) are welcome :)
Happy gaming
