Hi everyone!
My younger brother and I were waging war with our LEGO stuff. I had all of my Galactic Empire things and my little brother had his Rebels and his Ninja team. Then I came to the conclusion that I needed battle terrain. So, I built these.
I started with green baseplates and simply built up.
This was the first thing I built. I wanted to have a little advanced/tech stuff hidden by the foliage. The large tree pieces serve as good cover.
I made little notches to allow the minifigs to shoot out.
I next built a energy shield thing with flick missiles on the side. This one is pretty basic as well.
This one also allows the minifig to peek out.
I felt like I was on a roll, so I built more. I have a rock piece in my collection from a LEGO Star Wars set I got ages ago. I thought it looked like a really cool piece to use in a basic terrain thing.
Rock elements like that have a bad reputation for making LEGO sets too simple. I like the small ones, but the notorious BURP is ugly.
The inside has generous space, I added a communications station on the inside.
My next terrain bit has a rocket launcher. I found several of the Flick-Missile pieces and I decided to build a missile turret.
The turret is quite simple, but it is stable enough to withstand getting flicked four times.
I made a computer console out of parts I could find in my bin. I keep some of my parts separate from by brother and I's collective tub. This helps me find my parts easily.
I used a printed tile to show that maybe a giant dog had walked around.
My last one was a little weak. It looks very dilapidated and overgrown. I filled it with computer consoles that I had laying around.
Essentially, I built five tiny defense points to surround my base. I devastated my brother in our LEGO war, in case you were wondering. I managed to take out his Snowspeeder with the missile turret.
Now, can you find the Minifigure hidden in the picture. :)
I hope you found inspiration to build your own terrain so you can wage your own LEGO battles. Thanks for reading!
