Anybody remember the craters shown in White Darfs in the '90s? Like for example on the back cover of issue #158. I always wanted to build some of these, but so far never tackled such a project. Time to change that.
I started by drawing the rough shapes on an A4 sized piece of ePVC, to be able to store the finished craters in one of my typical storage boxes.
I don't like the fact, that modular scatter terrain that represents depressions in the ground has them sit on top of the ground level. But with modular scatter terrain, that can't be changed. Given that fact, I like to keep the depression as much to the ground as possible. So using a 3mm base, then building up a rim on top would create a small mound. This would not cut it for me.
I can't dig into the ground, but I can dig into the base of the scatter terrain. So I cut out the outline from the base, then cut away a lid from the bottom, to be able to insert a 0.25mm plastic sheet at bottom level of the scatter piece base.
