Brilliant, I will need to make some terrain, slowly preparing myself for making my own table

We're not really talking whole table here, but if you just add a few hills or woods or something it'd stretch nicely.
If you have a look at 'My First Terrain Set' on the blog, it's got instructions for hills and woods in 28mm, but the concept is the same.
If I get time during 15mm Fortnight, I'll have a shot at mesas.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about, I've got one of those butterfly folding tables, nearly 3 x 4 and bought GW battlemat, and what I need to do is some wood templates with trees and some hills. Maybe I'll cut it to size and use scraps to make hills, and buy some chip stones from diy store.

TFH Ishoo Thirty-Sven: 15mm Space Port Part One is now up. I've divided the space port into two parts, the easier buildings first, and the more time consuming and complex things in the second part. Ishoo Firty-Ate will have the rest, and should be up somewhere around Tuesday. Behold the beginings of the space port!Here is a mysterious image to whet the appetite...  Oooo! Mysterious! |

I've posted some pics of the whole space port in action (well, mock action - I set it all up and the mercs are actually employed by the RFMC... maybe it's an exercise or something...)

I really like your work. May I ask your rough dimensions for your buildings? ie how high do you make each level, how wide are your doors, etc? Ive built in 6mm and 28mm before, but always want to make sure I get things right before trying out new things. I like to call it "analysis paralysis"  |

I'll post the plans later on today, with dimensions noted. I usually go by eye on size, and since I don't often remember to compensate for material width (I just use a system of always glueing some parts inside others rather than on top of others to ensure things line up and never really bother to make perfect squares :  the dimensions might be a bit off. As to door height, I usually go with slightly taller and wider than a figure for a 'normal' door. After all, my head brushes on doors if I stand on tip toe (I'm 6'3") so this makes sense. Grander doors are just whatever works in proportion. |

Basic shell plans for the hanger and warehouse are now in their respective posts. After that you're on your own.

I'm impressed that you actually made scale stairs. That's one part of modelling that I can't stand. It sucks up plasticard and is extraordinarily boring to make to boot. Yours look fantastic when they're finished.
I particularly like the corner detailing on your designs as well.
