I've started my Infinity Terrain “How
low can you go?” challenge and I'm already at $43.88 US For my
supply cost. I do however have most of the things I plan to use for
the table that I am not going to make from recycled junk. I'm trying
to keep the terrain set under $100.00 and I hope to go lower if I can
manage it. I'm going to need to leave some budget for some more
paint and a few other bits.
I went to three stores today and this
is how it broke down:
Lowe's: I picked up a 4'x8' sheet of
3/16th inch masonite (MDF) board which they cut into two
4'x4' sections for $13.99. I am planning on using one section for my
table top and one section for basing some of my other terrain
elements and possibly for streets.
Walmart: I picked up four cans of
cheap store brand spray paint. Two cans of primer grey cost $1.38
each and two cans of flat black cost $0.96 each. I also bought a
package of cork tiles that cost $5.94 and some plastic canvas “Granny
Grating” for $2.97. The total at Walmart with tax was $14.76.
Dollar Tree: Everything at Dollar Tree
cost a dollar except the two sheets of poster board that cost $0.50
each so I'm not going to break down the prices. I picked up two
sheets of poster board, two packets of alphabet and number stickers,
eight plastic crates, and four sheets of foamcore even though I was
only charged for three. My total cost was $15.13.
I'm going to use the foamcore to build
a small factory or two and a three or four building strip mall as
well as using it for other details on the crate buildings. If I can
work it in I'm going to go for a small park as well.
As I pointed out I'm going for an
Ariadna industrial city look. I'll probably draw from Russian
sources for my inspiration.
