If you've seen my post in the Modelling and painting projects thread (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?14263-Free-pdf-building-templates) [before we had a terrain thread of it's own] you'll know I'm a big fan of scratchbuilt foamboard scenery.
In my own endeavours I created pleny of plans that I decided other folks could benefit form so witgh a little time and effort can get some decent terrain on the board cheaply. Of course time is money too and often the cost of creating these things yourself may be better spent buying one of the excellent kits available. However, there is also a reward for building something and there is pleasure in creating something with your won two hads so as much as you invest in home made terrain [and you still have to make a kit and paint it too] you do get back from it also.
Anyway all my plans are available here http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/terrain-is-everything-standard-template.html
Buts lets not focus on the past, lets explore the future and my latest endeavour, my 'in progress' Inquisitorial Vault (http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/terrain-is-everything-inquisitorial.html)

But it doesn't end there what comes next is the Inquisitorial Reformatry and Bastille. The Vault is the middle bit it'll be split diagonally so you can gain access inside. The outer Reformatry will also be split diagonally so you can enclose the Vault. The Bastille will sit in the Modular Plug socket on the roof of the Vault. There's also plenty of option for change at this stage. Access to the interior of the Bastille will be difficult so I may consider making the windows double height [and/or width], with option to mix it up a bit [although you'd have to create your own window capping for the insets]. Equally you could choose not to add the buttresses and horizontal details, filling in windows as and when you see fit. I had planned to use some plastic folder wallets for windows too!

So that's where I'm at. I'll keep you updated with progress as and when it happens and when the Templates are complete I'll happily share them with everyone so they can have a crack at it too.
