A while back I wanted interior terrain for quick and dirty guncrawls. Five years teaching TTGs as part of an After School Enrichment Program and running a Game Room impressed me with the need for durability, simplicity and playability. Thus these Interior Boards were fabricated out of insulation foam and MDF, with minimum fiddly, breakable detail, and a 1.5″ hex grid to speed up play. They’re configured to maximize re-playability. Inexpensive resin scenics like crates, computer consoles, and weapons/fuel caches add even more variety.
Here’s some pix:
Very much a low tech Underground Secret Lab, these work with anything from WW2 to Sci Fi to Post Apoc. These halls have seen plenty of carnage over the years and are holding up well, considering.
Guess I’d better get building my Bug Hunt Corridors if I want anything Hi-Tech.
The hex grid/board game feel make these pretty popular, movement and weapon ranges suddenly super-simple. Rule mechanics fade and the game, with its mission and story, come to the forefront. Last week’s Game Night went incredibly smooth, in fact. So much so, I’m considering hunting down a hex mat on eBay now.
Anyway, ask any questions. I’ll post answers ASAP.
Have an excellent day.

That looks really good. I especially like the modular details, consoles and such. They add a lot to the corridors and the scenic shots you made look excellent, emphasising the miniatures even more.
Thanks much. Glad you like it. The imagery and mission story is important to me. I’m devotee of the ‘dynamic diorama’ school of wargaming.
Very nice, I was wondering, the boards themselves are they black with grey paint airbrushed on through a template?
Thanks. Other way around: gray painted mdf with Litko square grid template/black painted lines.
That looks enviably fantastic.
I am a big fan of removing the tape measure from games wherever possible. That terrain looks like great fun.
Hi Stalker,
For creating a quick hex map, I use a “plastic cups” (3 inch hexes) or “plastic bowls” (6 inch hexes) method detailed here: http://govgensectorsix.blogspot.com/2013/03/hexing-mat.html
For the 6″ version, it takes less than 2 hours.
Happy battling,
Maj Guiscard
Nice tutorial, Major. And brilliant use of the cups. I confess, I broke down and ordered a hex-grid mat from Russia. I’ll post pix when it arrives.
Thanks for stopping by.
Do you ever use doors in your terrain set ups?
Not on my interior boards, no. When I (finally) build my Bug Hunt Corridors, they will play an integral role in those games.
