Ruined Terrain Work In Progress

For Christmas this year I received a pretty decent sized set of various filament printed terrain. In terms of presents, it was easy for family to acquire (Amazon is easier to navigate) and I didn't have to send them exactly what I was looking for. Unpainted Review The scale is generally 28mm or so. Some are a little smaller, some a little bigger. But nothing seems so crazy that I wouldn't put 32mm or 25mm on the table with them. I sized them up, but forgot to take pictures so will try to grab some at the end, with MESBG LoTR, Age of Sigmar, 40k, Highland Miniatures and Beastarium Minis.

I didn't follow the lines exactly, just tried to keep near them Power sanded down the edges to give them a bit of a gradual slope Glued 3"(For 15mm) or 2" (for 6mm) around the edges, with one or two in the middle for support. I mostly left them open as these are for gaming, not for display. I need to fit the figures in there! This was done with liquid nails. I put about a pea worth of liquid nails down, pushed the nail in and gave it a bit of a twirl. Left me with the foll...
